On Monday, Ms. Samie Elishi, aged 25 and known for her participation in Love Island, appeared to make a demonstrative statement to her former partner, Mr. Sam Thompson, by publishing a series of revealing photographs. The images, taken during her vacation in Bali, featured Ms. Elishi wearing a vibrant and minimalistic two-piece swimsuit, complemented by a coordinated cover-up while reclining on a daybed. Her ensemble was accessorised with fashionable sunglasses, contributing to the overall presentation of a confident and composed public persona.
The social media personality appeared without make-up in a series of Instagram photographs, one of which depicted her posed on all fours. This follows a recent public appearance wherein Ms. Elishi and Mr. Sam Thompson were seen together at the launch event for Rehab’s Rooftop Spa, suggesting a temporary reconciliation shortly after their reported separation. According to a source cited last month, the couple’s two-month relationship had concluded after the romantic connection between them reportedly ‘fizzled out’.
However, in video footage obtained by MailOnline, Mr. Sam Thompson and Ms. Samie Elishi were observed engaging in conversation at the event, held at Shoreditch House in London, alongside Mr. Thompson’s former Made In Chelsea co-star, Ms. Lucy Watson—suggesting the possibility of a rekindling of their prior romantic relationship.
The pair were among numerous high-profile attendees—including Ms. Stacey Solomon and Ms. Melanie Chisholm (Mel C)—celebrating the launch of the REHAB Retreat Range, the brand’s inaugural body care collection.
A source indicated: ‘Mr. Thompson appeared to be in good spirits while interacting with Ms. Elishi at the event. They were seen queuing for beverages and conversing amiably. At one point, Mr. Thompson gently touched Ms. Elishi’s arm, ensuring she had received a drink, and the two shared laughter with Ms. Watson and her partner.’
The source further noted that ‘Ms. Elishi remained close to Mr. Thompson throughout the evening, which featured a musical performance by Ms. Chisholm and lively dancing. While both individuals socialised with other guests, they consistently returned to each other’s company and ultimately departed the venue together.’
Notably, mere hours prior to the event, Ms. Elishi disclosed via Snapchat that she intended to attend the launch before departing the following day for an all-female holiday in Bali.
Mr. Thompson, aged 32, commenced a relationship with Ms. Elishi—renowned for her participation in Love Island—in April, with the pair subsequently being photographed in an intimate embrace following their attendance at Ms. Olivia Attwood’s birthday celebration.#newsafro_
