Sam Thompson and Talitha Balinska went public with their relationship last month and spent Christmas together – and now, he has shared a new loved-up selfie with his girlfriend
Sam Thompson has seemingly shut down any rumours of trouble in his relationship just days after he shared a cryptic post that left some fans worried.
The TV personality, 33, has been dating DJ and model Talitha Balinska for a few months, but the pair went public with their romance last month. The couple spent their first Christmas together with Sam’s family, but a photo he shared on Instagram at the beginning of January seemed to suggest that there might be some problems.
In the image, Sam was seen cuddling his cat on a sofa. He captioned the image: “Starting 2026 as I mean to go on.” The fact that Sam was alone with his cat in the photo sparked speculation that he was single – however, he has now put those rumours to rest with a new snap on social media.

On Friday, Sam took to his Instagram stories to share a selfie of him and Talitha. He was all smiles in the photo, which he added a red heart emoji to. Following months of courtship, Sam revealed at the start of December that he and Talitha had become “official”.
Chatting to his best mate Pete Wicks on their Staying Relevant podcast, Sam confirmed they had taken their romance to the next stage. He declared: “I’ve got a girlfriend. I’ve got a girlfriend!”
Sam then shared the moment he invited Talitha for a dinner date, saying: “Yeah, I just, I just said, ‘Look, I really like you. I mean, I really, really like you and you make me feel really… comfortable.'”
The star went on to say: “You know, I wouldn’t be dating someone this amount of time if I didn’t think it had legs to last. So will you be my girlfriend?’ And she said ‘yes’. And so I said, ‘great.'”
The duo first met in 2023 at a photoshoot before reconnecting earlier this year at one of his arena shows. In December, the former King of the I’m A Celeb jungle returned from Australia, where he was filming for I’m A Celeb’s spin-off show Unpacked.
While he was in Australia, his new girlfriend Talitha was settling into his £3million Chelsea home. Sam has also introduced Talitha to his sister Louise, her fiancé Ryan, and their son Leo, even sharing a photo of the occasion.
Sam’s new relationship is the first since he split up from his previous girlfriend Zara McDermott, who is now dating former One Direction star Louis Tomlinson. The pair spent the festive season apart last year, confirming shortly afterwards that they had called it quits following “a tough year”.
It is claimed the duo grew apart due to busy individual careers and different life goals. Before their split, they would often been seen at public events, despite previous challenges like her past infidelity.
