Samie Elishi breaks silence on dating Sam Thompson after couple confirm romance
Samie Elishi has opened up about her relationship with Sam Thompson, just weeks after the pair confirmed their romance with a steamy kiss.
The former Made in Chelsea star, 32, split from his girlfriend of five years Zara McDermott, 28, earlier this year.
As Zara has confirmed her romance with One Direction star Louis Tomlinson, it seems that things have been going from strength to strength with Sam's love life as Samie, 25, has opened up about their romance.
Speaking on the podcast Chloe Mediumship, Samie said: 'I've had gut feelings with guys before. I've had a couple of relationships where I've known it was never it. Like this is gonna come to an end, I'll have something telling me every day it's coming to an end, this isn't for you.
'You put it to the back of your mind and then you start noticing the chaos increase. It's like the universe saying I'm gonna blow you both up if you just do not separate. Then I'm like if I only listened all those months ago when I got that first message.'
Chloe then asked her: 'Obviously, you don't have to talk about it too much, but the guy you're currently speaking to, do you have that gut feeling? Like do you think it's gonna be really good?'
Coyly, Samie revealed: 'There's been no bad stuff at the minute, so yeah, I suppose it is all positive right now. It's early days.'
In early May, Sam and Samie were caught kissing at Olivia Attwood's birthday bash in London.
Sam was seen chatting with Samie throughout the night in the smoking area before they departed together to the after-party at Stringfellows.
Sam and his new love interest left the venue at around 1am arm in arm, before kissing while waiting for their taxi to arrive.
It appears in the next episode of his podcast, Staying Relevant which Sam co-hosts with Pete Wicks, Sam is set to speak more about the images of him packing on the PDA. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJhVmUKttYP/?igsh=MWNoam8xaXJ1dHl3Mw%3D%3D
A source also told The Sun that things are going well between Sami and Sam, but emphasised it's 'early days'.
'Sam found the split and its public fall-out very hard, but Samie has put a smile back on his face.
'She is a stunning girl and he's told a few pals about her. He seems excited.'
The source added: 'Obviously it's early days, but clearly he has a thing for Love Islanders!'
In a different episode of the Staying Relevant podcast, Sam revealed that he has gone on his first date since his split from Zara. More Trending
He said at the time: 'I went on the first date that I've had since I've been single recently, and I was so nervous that I messaged Pete, and it was the sweetest thing ever, but Pete basically sent me a list of what I had to do.'
Samie is best known for entering the Love Island villa as a bombshell in 2023 and being coupled up with Kai Fagan and Tom Clare.
She and Tom reached the final of the show and left in third place, but amicably split not long after they left the villa.
