They have gone on multiple dates since they first met last year during a photoshoot for Sam's sunglasses brand, Dinelli Eyewear.
And since he was crowned King of the Jungle in I’m A Celebrity in December 2023, perhaps Sam has found his Queen?
It appears that and DJ – who boasts 511,000 followers.
Sam, 33, recently enjoyed a snack from Bite Mi in Chelsea’s Duke of York Square with Talitha, who is 25.
They stepped out together again after recently confirming their relationship.
Now, during a conversation with his best friend on their Staying Relevant podcast, Sam acknowledged their romance but mentioned they aren’t official just yet.
When asked about their relationship status, Sam said, “So look, you are dating, I think it is clear now. Are we just admitting that you are currently dating?”
He confirmed he is indeed dating Talitha, as reported by The Mail.
However, Pete wanted more details and asked, “So how are you going to ask her to be your girlfriend? Will you do it like ?”
Sam replied, “No mate, there hasn't been any discussion about that. There’s no pressure, and that is the beauty of it.
“There’s no pressure, there’s no timeline.
“The worst part about this is, if she sees this, I could be single next week.”
Pete hinted at the possibility of another breakup and said, “Oh, we can’t go through another break-up, not this year.
“At least wait until next year, darling. So, where do we stand with it?”
Sam smiled back: “Mate, I don’t know, everything is just super relaxed, you know how it is with dating. We are simply enjoying it.
“Realistically, if I were ever to ask someone out, I wouldn’t even know how to do it. I would panic. I haven’t asked someone out in years.”
Pete asked when he would get to meet Talitha: “I am on the edge of my seat. I’m waiting for the call-up. When will that be?”
Sam replied: “I just don’t know if I can do it. You wouldn’t even want to meet the people I’m dating. Would you want to meet them?”
Pete said: “No. Sam did invite me on a double date over the weekend. It was him and his friend, along with their respective partners and just me, so I declined.
“It was sort of an invite that was thrown out there because he said he was going to see me and then made it a double date.
“So, then I asked, ‘Am I still seeing you later?’”
Pete jokingly continued: “Now, what that says to me is, ‘Come if you want, but it will be weird, and we don’t want you there.
“We don’t want you there, alright, because we’re going to be lovey-dovey feeding each other at the table and all the rest of it, and it might be uncomfortable for you to sit there.
“I know you’re sad, lonely, and depressed so it might be too much for you.”
Sam laughed and insisted Pete was “wrong” and that his statements were “not true”.
Sam has already introduced Talitha to his family when they played with Lego together.
