Made In Chelsea’s Sam Thompson Splits From Love Island’s Samie Elishi After Two Months

Sam Thompson and Samie Elishi have ended their brief romance, which lasted about two months, reportedly due to their busy schedules and difficulty finding time for each other. The couple, who were first publicly seen together in early May and shared a passionate kiss at Olivia Attwood's birthday party, parted on good terms with no bad blood. Sam previously dated Zara McDermott for five years before their split last December, and Samie has since been involved in various brand ventures and travel. Sam's sister, Louise Thompson, hinted at the breakup on his podcast, suggesting he should date someone with a normal job outside the media industry and recommended British actress Emma Watson as an example. Both Sam and Samie expressed mixed feelings about their relationship; Samie mentioned having gut feelings about past relationships and the increasing chaos warning of an end, while Sam said he felt ready to move on. Sam’s focus now appears to be on his career and charitable efforts, including raising over £1.6 million for UNICEF, rather than committing to another long-term relationship at this time.
