Love Island All Stars winner Samie Elishi and Tyrique Hyde shared a romantic evening at Hawksmoor Steak House on Sunday night, toasting her new role as W7 Cosmetics brand ambassador.
Celebrating the Brand Ambassadorship
The couple savored a roast dinner and red wine at the upscale restaurant. Snapchat posts from both revealed matching backgrounds, hinting at their joint outing despite efforts to stay discreet.
W7 Cosmetics announced Samie’s ambassadorship Sunday morning. The British beauty brand previously collaborated with her after her 2023 Love Island appearance and held discussions with her team during her recent villa stint.
Recent Relationship Shifts
This deal arrives amid personal changes for Samie, who split from co-winner Ciaran Davies just three weeks after their £50,000 victory on All Stars. Sources describe the new partnership as a positive focus for the influencer.
Tensions surfaced last week when Ciaran discussed their breakup on the Not My Bagg podcast. He recounted a Wales family trip where dynamics shifted, claiming Samie ended things during her New York brand trip with Olivia Attwood.
Samie responded in an Instagram video: “I want to start off by saying it’s actually a bit sad that someone who you once had a lot of respect for and saw in a certain light would go on a podcast and say you said things that you categorically did not. We all know that they’re rumours and everyone that knows me knows that them things wouldn’t have come out of my mouth. So I wanted to clear that up for a start.”
She continued: “Secondly, girls it’s okay to call things off with someone that you’re talking to or dating. Me and Ciaran were in the very early stages of dating and we got into the real world and it just didn’t work. And that is absolutely fine, I don’t think anyone should be getting sick for it not working.”
Blossoming Romance with Tyrique
Samie, from Love Island season nine, grows closer to season ten alum Tyrique Hyde, 26. The pair has enjoyed multiple dates, with sources noting their romance strengthens daily. Tyrique pursued her publicly online and appears deeply smitten.
Insights reveal early disconnects with Ciaran post-villa, including a Wales visit highlighting lifestyle differences from his small-town roots.
Tyrique’s admiration predates All Stars. In a pre-villa clip, he named Samie as his ideal bedmate, calling her “very good looking.” Days before the show, he praised her looks and cool demeanor after real-life encounters. He commented “Happy New Year” with a heart on her January 5 Instagram post and inquired about her attendance at a lunch event.
Sources suggest Samie knew of his interest beforehand. The couple keeps dates low-key but increasingly shares them publicly, with travel plans in the works.
