The pair have been on several dates since they first met last year.
Sam Thompson has spoken out about officially introducing his new partner, Talitha Balinska, and explained why he hasn’t made their relationship official yet.
It was revealed last month that the TV star is dating the house music DJ, following his split from Zara McDermott last year.
Sam Thompson has opened up about his budding romance with model and DJ Talitha Balinska, 25, confirming that they are dating but aren’t officially together yet.
The pair first met last year during a photoshoot for Sam’s sunglasses brand, Dinelli Eyewear, and have been on several dates since. Since winning I’m A Celebrity in December 2023, Sam seems to be going all out with Talitha, who has 511,000 TikTok followers. Recently, they were spotted grabbing a snack at Bite Mi in Chelsea and enjoying a romantic date night in London.
Speaking to his best friend Pete Wicks on the Staying Relevant podcast, Sam confirmed the romance but explained why there’s no rush to make it official. When Pete asked if he was planning to ask Talitha to be his girlfriend, Sam replied: “No mate, there’s not been any chat about that. There’s no pressure, and that is the beauty of it. Everything is just super relaxed. We are just enjoying it.”
Sam admitted he hasn’t asked anyone out in years and would likely panic if he tried. Pete also joked about being included in a double date with Sam and Talitha, which Sam confirmed had been thrown out casually, but Pete declined, humorously noting it might be awkward to watch them being “lovey-dovey.”
Overall, Sam emphasized that their relationship is casual and relaxed, with no pressure or set timeline to make it official.
Sam laughed off Pete’s claims, calling them “wrong” and “not true.”
He has already introduced Talitha to his sister Louise, her fiancé Ryan, and their son Leo, sharing a playful moment together building with Lego.
