Reality television favourite Sam Thompson has officially gone public with his new romance, stepping out in London with actress girlfriend Talitha Balinska in what appears to be their first family outing together.
The Made in Chelsea star, who recently won the nation's heart on Celebrity Big Brother, looked happier than ever as he enjoyed a casual day out with his new partner and sister Louise Thompson's family in the capital.
A Picture-Perfect Debut
Eyewitnesses described the couple as "completely smitten" during their relaxed London stroll, with Sam frequently wrapping his arm around the stunning actress. The 31-year-old reality star kept things casual in a grey hoodie and baseball cap, while Talitha, 25, looked effortlessly chic in black trousers and a matching top.
The outing took a particularly sweet turn when the group was joined by Sam's sister Louise, her fiancé Ryan Libbey, and their young son Leo-Hunter. The presence of family members suggests this new relationship is already becoming serious.
From Friendship to Romance
While the couple has kept their budding romance under wraps until now, sources close to the pair reveal they've been growing closer for months. "Sam and Talitha have known each other through mutual friends for a while," an insider shared. "But things recently turned romantic, and they're both really happy."
The relationship marks Sam's first serious partnership since his highly publicised split from Zara McDermott in 2021, which played out dramatically on Made in Chelsea.
A Rising Star
Talitha Balinska is no stranger to the spotlight herself. The British actress gained international recognition for her leading role in the 2020 film Run Sweetheart Run and has built an impressive career in both film and television.
Her relationship with Sam comes at an exciting time for both their careers. Sam continues to ride high from his Celebrity Big Brother victory and successful podcast, while Talitha's acting profile continues to rise.
The couple's decision to make their relationship public in such a natural, family-oriented setting suggests they're approaching this new chapter with maturity and genuine connection.
