The couple were set up on a date by Sam’s friend and former Made In Chelsea co-star Reza Amiri-Garroussi, after first meeting in 2023 when Talitha modelled in a campaign for Sam and Reza’s sunglasses brand, Dinelli.
While Sam was in a relationship with ex-girlfriend Zara McDermott at the time, he recently reconnected with Talitha after she was invited as a surprise guest to his live show at the O2 Arena and, as one source told the Daily Mail, ‘the rest is history’.
Zara and Sam dated for approximately five years – with the pair going official in May 2019 and later splitting in December 2024.
Sam recently spoke to his best pal Pete Wicks about officially coming ‘off the market’ during their Staying Relevant podcast.
He said: ‘I’ve got a girlfriend. I’ve got a girlfriend!’ as Pete quipped: ‘We’ve lost him again to the dark powers of a woman.’
When probed about the details of the moment he asked Talitha the important question, Sam insisted: ‘Mate, it was just super relaxed. It was so boring really, but that’s kind of how I wanted it to be.
‘We just went for dinner, and I was like, “I really like you”. And I just went, “I’d love to be your boyfriend”. I don’t know why I’m panicking more now!’
