Reality television favourite Sam Thompson has officially moved on from his highly-publicised split with Zara McDermott, confirming his new romance in the most public way possible.
The Made in Chelsea star was spotted sharing an intimate moment with American model and yoga instructor Hannah Bower in London's exclusive Mayfair district, leaving no doubt about their relationship status.
London Love Blooms
During what appeared to be a romantic dinner date at upscale restaurant Novikov, the pair couldn't keep their hands off each other. "They were completely wrapped up in each other all evening," an onlooker revealed. "Sam looked happier than we've seen him in months - they shared several passionate kisses and were holding hands across the table."
The public display of affection marks a significant step for Thompson, who has been notoriously private about his love life since his devastating breakup with former Love Island star McDermott earlier this year.
From Heartbreak to Happiness
Thompson's previous relationship with Zara McDermott captured the nation's attention, with their split sending shockwaves through the reality TV world. The couple had been together for nearly five years before calling it quits, with McDermott moving on to date businessman Sean Bickerstaff.
Now, it seems Sam has found his own path to happiness with Hannah, who boasts an impressive social media following and is known for her wellness-focused lifestyle.

While neither has made an official statement about their relationship status, their very public PDA speaks volumes about where things stand between the new couple.
As one source close to the pair commented: "They're really happy together and taking things at their own pace. It's early days but there's definitely a strong connection there."
