💔 Split

Samie + Tom Clare

Tom and Samie are no longer together. They split sometime in late 2023 or early 2024, and by May 2025 Samie was linked to Sam Thompson while Tom got engaged to fellow Love Island alum Molly Smith. Tom confirmed the split himself in early 2026, referring to Samie as his 'ex.'
