Over the weekend the loved-up pair were seen to be enjoying each other's company at Olivia Attwood 's birthday bash.
During the party, the pair were spotted hand in hand as they danced together on Gabby Allen's story.
Later, they were spotted sharing a steamy smooch in public together before making their way home.
They were both beaming after the exclusive festivities as they walked down the street arm in arm.
However, it seems there may be growing tensions behind the scenes as three members of Sam's inner circle have seemingly snubbed the star.
The former Made In Chelsea star is known to share a very close bond with his sister Louise, 35, and her fiancé Ryan Libbey, 34.
They even live next door to each other and the siblings regularly appear in each other's social media videos.
Their mum Karen Thompson regularly posts images with her family as well as Sam's BFF, Pete Wicks.
However, in an apparent snub, Louise, Ryan and Karen have not yet clicked the follow button on Samie's Instagram profile.
Samie, 25, is also not following any of the trio in return despite her follower status for her new love.

It's somewhat ironic as we first revealed their romance, after Sam and Samie first swapped flirty messages after following each other on the platform.
This comes as Sam squirmed when he was questioned on his new romance and was slammed as being 'defensive'.
Pete Wicks, 37, was not afraid to stir the pot on the latest episode of their Staying Relevant podcast as Sam was left stuttering and lost for words.
Giving their take on the party in their podcast which was recorded before the bash happened, Sam joked: "We are actually dating, but not each other."
Timeline of Louis Tomlinson's love life
Here we delve into Louis' love life since his rise to fame in One Direction.
Hannah Walker - Louis' first girlfriend, who he dated in 2010. They split in 2011 as his band One Direction took off and the long distance romance was too much for them.
Eleanor Calder - The pair dated on and off from 2011 to 2022. They were first photographed kissing at the London Olympic Games in 2012.
Briana Jungwirth - Louis dated American Briana in 2015 and they have a son named Freddie, who was born in 2016.
Sofie Nyvang - Louis was rumoured to be in a relationship with Danish model Sofie in February 2023. They split two months later in April 2023.
Later, Pete said: "Now you've got a date for the night," which prompted Sam to clap back: "I don't have a f**king date for the night."
The former TOWIE star interjected as he exclaimed: "Me," as Sam, clearly still on the back foot, said: "Right."
Pete, then pressing the issue, quizzed: "Who did you think I meant?" to which Sam said: "No one."
Pete, who had discussed how he organised Liv's event, then probed: "Why so defensive then? I was just talking about me."
The Sun was first to report how I'm a Celeb winner Sam was moving on from his ex Zara McDermott, 28, after growing close to Samie.
The documentary presenter in return has also found love again after her split, after she was spotted with former One Direction star Louis Tomlinson.
