The pair first met last year on a photoshoot for Sam’s sunglasses brand Dinelli Eyewear.

Following his break-up from Zara, Sam and Talitha went on several dates.

At first he was a little reluctant to call Talitha his girlfriend but that has all changed.

Now, speaking to his best pal Pete Wicks on their Staying Relevant podcast, Sam confirmed they had taken their romance to the next level.

He said excitedly: “I’ve got a girlfriend. I’ve got a girlfriend!”

Explaining how they went out for dinner, Sam then revealed the moment he asked Talitha: “Yeah, I just, I just said, ‘Look, I really like you. I mean, I really, really like you and you make me feel really… comfortable.’”

Continuing, the star said: “Yeah, I just said: ‘You know, I wouldn’t be dating someone this amount of time if I didn’t think it had legs to last. So will you be my girlfriend?’ And she said ‘yes’. And so I said, ‘great’”.

ROMANTIC TALK

Sam first spoke about his romance with Talitha in October, again on the podcast.

It came after Pete asked Sam what stage the pair were at and said: “So look, you are dating, I think it is clear now. Are we just admitting that you are currently dating?”

A smiling Sam confirmed he was indeed dating Talitha.

But Pete wanted more details and asked: “So how are you going to ask her to be your girlfriend?

“Will you do it like Love Island?”

Sam replied: “No mate, there’s not been any chat about that. There’s no pressure, and that is the beauty of it.

“There’s no pressure, there’s no time frame. 

“The worst part about this is, if she sees this, I could get canned next week.”

Pete alluded to Sam’s split with Zara and said: “Oh, we can’t go through another break-up, not this year.

“At least wait till next year, darling. So, where are we at with it?”

Sam smiled back: “Mate, I don’t know, everything is just super relaxed, you know what it is like with dating. We are just enjoying it.

“Realistically, if I were to ever ask anyone out, I wouldn’t even know how to do it. I would panic. I haven’t asked someone out in years.”

Last month, Sam introduced Talitha to his sister Louise, her fiancé Ryan, and their son Leo and they shared a pic of the moment.

THE SPLIT

Meanwhile, Sam and his last girlfriend Zara, who appeared on Made In Chelsea together, called time on their romance last December.

The couple spent last Christmas apart, confirming shortly after that they had ended their relationship after “a tough year”.

 A source close to the couple told MailOnline at the time: “Sam and Zara have ended their relationship. It’s been an incredibly difficult decision for them to part ways, they still care and have a lot of love for each other.”
