But they've abruptly stopped exchanging flirty Instagram likes and messages, and have not been seen out together in weeks.
In the clearest sign that things are over between them, she failed to support Sam during his emotional announcement that he's been diagnosed with autism.
In a light-hearted sketch posted online, the Made In Chelsea, 32, dressed up as a dinosaur to surprise himself with the news, and referenced his earlier ADHD diagnosis.
He captioned it: "Knew there was more to the story."
He received over 87 thousand likes and over a thousand comments from supportive followers but the video, posted last week, has yet to draw a reaction from Love Island beauty Samie, in the clearest sign yet that they are no longer dating.
Meanwhile, Samie has jetted abroad and has been sharing a flurry of sizzling snaps from her photoshoots with Space NK.
She joined fellow Love Islanders Maura Higgins, Lana Jenkins and Amber Rose Gill on the all expenses paid trip.
I'm A Celeb winner Sam.
They began dating after she appeared on Love Island: All Stars earlier this year and was left in tears by Luca Bish' s rejection.
It marked Sam's first romantic connection since his split from Love Islander Zara, who has since gone public with new boyfriend Louis Tomlinson.

Sam and Samie then confirmed dating rumours after being pictured sharing a steamy kiss on a date night.
He later defended the romance after many fans were left convinced it was a publicity stunt.
Speaking to pal Pete Wicks, Sam said: "I stupidly looked at some comment and it was like 'calling the paps on themselves.'
"Do you know what the f***ing worst thing is? It does look like that because they've long-lensed it from wherever the hell they've been.
"And it does just look like we've just stepped outside in front of a bunch of photographers and be like, 'Here you go, guys, me and this girl, we're going to have a kiss!'"
A grinning Sam then praised Samie, calling her "a really awesome chick" amd "super down to earth, super nice, beautiful, obviously".
It comes as Sam has faced accusations of trying to grab Zara's attention by posting photos with the cats they once shared.
A friend told MailOnline: "They are both big on Instagram and still follow each other so it's pretty obvious when Sam posts a picture if it's meant for Zara or not, and that's because it usually involves the cats.
"He knows how much the cats mean to her and how much she loved his love for them. It was a major part of her attraction to him.
"They used to sit in the house and chill out together with the cats for hours, while Sam gamed or made funny videos. It was their happy place.
"Now it seems that this is the only way that he can get attention from Zara."
The Sun has contacted their reps for comment.

Is 'bad attitude' useful? Fans on Cunha signing
We asked for your views on Matheus Cunha signing for Manchester are some of your comments:Nick: I'm happy with this. We're creating, but not scoring, so getting someone in who has experience scoring in the Premier League can only be a good I think it is a fantastic signing in this struggling Manchester United era. I see hope because he can play in so many positions in Ruben Amorim's 3-4-3/3-4-2-1 and United need goals, that's all they Cunha has the skills but does he have the temperament for the most 'under the microscope' and 'under pressure' club currently in the world? I hope so but so much needs to change around him to get the best from him. Let's hope Amorim's plan gets the support from the boardroom. I'm still holding my At last; the right player, at the right price and at the right age. What could go wrong?Karl: Definitely a step in the right direction. His stats say he has everything we've been missing - awareness, speed, balance, a finishing edge and above all, confidence. Can't wait to see how he works alongside the likes of Amad, Fernandes and Yes, he's renowned for his 'bad attitude' but that's just because he wants to win, which is an attitude sadly lacking in quite a few of our current squad. I seem to recall a certain Mr Cantona was slated for his attitude when we signed him!

Chelsea 'begin talks with £50m-rated Borussia Dortmund star' - as they look to further bolster attack ahead of Club World Cup
Chelsea have stepped up their interest in Borussia Dortmund 's Jamie Gittens as they begin talks over a potential £50million move for the winger. Enzo Maresca 's side are looking to bolster their attack as they prepare for life in the Champions League next season, for the first time in three seasons. Mail Sport understands that Liam Delap has already undergone the first part of his medical ahead of joining the Blues from Ipswich Town for £30m. And now they have set their sights on bringing in a winger to accompany their new frontman. Chelsea first reported their interest in Gittens, 20, when they enquired about his services in January, and according to the Telegraph, they are now ready to act. The England Under 21s starlet is believed to have a release clause around the £50m mark, with many of European football's elite clubs circling. With Jadon Sancho's future at Chelsea still up in the air - with the club debating whether to turn on their obligation to buy the Manchester United loanee for £25m - the Gittens deal is taking their full attention. The west London side are believed to be pushing for a deal to be completed quickly due to both their and Dortmund's participation in the FIFA Club World Cup, which begins on June 14. Gittens would be able to play for the Blues in the competition, should he sign, due to not being selected in Lee Carsley's Young Lions squad as they seek to retain the Under 21s Euros in Slovakia this summer. The Club World Cup is seen as a priority over the youth international tournament, so Gittens was left out by Carsley due to Dortmund's participation. The winger is the next star off of the Bundesliga production line, following in the footsteps of both Sancho and Jude Bellingham by shining in Dortmund. After breaking through in the 2023-24 campaign, Gittens truly began to shine in the last 12 months, scoring 12 goals and bagging five assists in all competitions last season. He also made history in the Champions League, becoming the youngest English player to score in the tournament when he found the net against 15-time winners Real Madrid, aged just 20 and 75 days.

He has played almost every game this season and stepped up a level in terms of his energy, desire and winning mentality have had such a positive impact on the young team around him and even at 26 he has taken responsibility as a senior player. Because of the way he presents himself on the pitch he is very easy to dislike which is probably why he doesn't get the credit he deserves as one of the league's best ChalobahIt would have been easy for Chalobah to shut off when deemed surplus to requirements at Chelsea at the start of the season and shipped off to Crystal Palace on loan, but he kept his head down, worked hard, and represented the Eagles with when recalled to Chelsea, he didn't fuss and was a reliable performer when selected. He is maybe not your modern-day centre-back who steps into the play, but he defends solidly and wins his put in seven or eight out of 10 performances every week despite difficult situations and an uncertain future is admirable and he deserves his chance in Thomas Tuchel's England Williams was speaking to BBC Sport's Nat Hayward
