Sam Thompson has been pictured kissing his new Love Island star girlfriend Samie Elishi after his split from Zara McDermott earlier this year.
The former Made in Chelsea star, 32, split from girlfriend of five years Zara, 28, earlier this year, with her now confirming her romance with One Direction star Louis Tomlinson.
And it appears Sam is also moving on himself, with photos showing him sharing a kiss with series nine contestant Samie Elishi, 25.
Samie is best known for entering the villa as a bombshell back in 2023 and being coupled up with Kai Fagan and Tom Clare, the latter of which she reached the final of the show with and left in third place.

The pair were seen packing on the PDA at TV presenter and former Love Island star Olivia Attwood’s star-studded 34th birthday celebrations at Bacchanalia 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.
Olivia celebrated her birthday in style as she invited some of her closest pals, including Pete Wicks, to an intimate party in London’s Mayfair.
Sam had been linked to Samie just weeks ago, with a source telling The Sun: ‘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.’
They added: ‘Obviously it’s early days, but clearly he has a thing for Love Islanders!’
Samie confirmed her split from Tom back in 2023, with the pair insisting at the time that they were ‘still on good terms’.
The reality TV star did not give a reason for their split but admitted he is ‘gutted’ their relationship has ended.
He penned at the time: ‘Didn’t think I’d be writing this but me and Samie have gone our separate ways.
‘We are still on good terms and I have nothing but love and respect for her. I’m gutted it’s some to an end but I truly wish Samie the best.’
Meanwhile, Zara and Louis confirmed their romance after the pair were snapped together in Malibu, California last month.
The pair stopped at Soho Beach House for a late ocean-side lunch and were snapped looking dressed down as they entered the members-only club.
Since the pair hard-launched, there have been reports that Zara has already been introduced to Louis’ family, including his makeup artist sister Lottie Tomlinson and twins Daisy and Phoebe.
A friend told The Sun: ‘Zara has already met all the family, and they can tell that she has made Louis giddy.
‘It’s the first time in a long time that they have seen him happy. They think Zara is super wholesome and health-conscious, so they are happy he is with someone who shuns the party life.’
