Sam Thompson and his model girlfriend Talitha Balinska have taken a big step in their romance as they enjoyed a weekend away with his family.

Talitha, 25, joined Sam, 33, his sister Louise, 36, and her husband Ryan, 35, and their son Leo, four, on a trip to Soho Farmhouse in the Cotswolds along with Sam’s mother Karen. 

Louise shared a gallery of images from the trip, which saw the family cycling around the private members’ grounds.

Sam had a look of pure joy on his face as Talitha threw her arms around him on the sofa, while Ryan strummed away on his guitar. 

Another sweet picture showed Sam and Talitha cuddling up to one another for a photo and giggling together and cuddling up while playing padel. 

Louise captioned it with the words: ‘✖️ happy times✖️ #oxfordshire #ukstaycation #countryhousestyle #cabininthewoods #travelwithus.’

TV personality Sam confirmed his relationship with influencer Talitha, 25, in early December/ 

Sam revealed in February he told Talitha he’s ‘in love’ with her while they were sat on the sofa together, telling Pete Wicks he’d ‘known for a bit’ but struggled to say the words. 

And last week, Sam revealed how he really feels about his ex Zara McDermott’s boyfriend Louis Tomlinson for the first time. 

The radio presenter, 33, split from the TV personality, 29, in 2024 after five years together. 

Zara then confirmed her relationship with the former One Direction singer last year, going Instagram official with him after weeks of speculation. 

And on Thursday morning, while hosting Hits Radio Breakfast Show, Sam revealed how he truly feels about his ex dating the singer for the very first time, after he was put on the spot by a listener tuning in.

During the segment, Sam invited listeners to ask him anything, and listener Holly wasted no time in asking Sam a brutal question live on air, leaving him speechless. 

Holly asked: ‘How do you feel about playing the song from One Direction, Steal My Girl, knowing that one of the 1D boys did actually steal your girl?’ 

After several seconds of dead air as Sam tried to recover, he said: ‘Holly, I am live on air! How do I feel? First of all, and I mean this when I say it, it’s a brilliant song. I still listen to it on the tube.

He continued: ‘I know that sounds weird, but I listen to it on the tube all the time. I don’t actually feel weird about it because I feel quite happy as long as everyone else is happy. 

‘I think everyone has found their person, and I think that’s really, really nice. And I’ve actually met said guy, and he seems like a really nice dude, so I feel pretty good about it, to be fair. And it is an absolute banger. Everyone is looking for love, you know.’ 

The former Love Island star began dating Louis in March 2025, with the couple jetting to the Caribbean after spending their first Christmas together.

It’s understood that Zara has moved into multi-millionaire Louis’s north London mansion, having initially moved back into her parents’ house after leaving the Fulham home she shared with ex-boyfriend Sam.
