Love Island’s Samie Elishi and Tom Clare SPLIT: Show finalists part ways in ‘secret’ just weeks after finishing in third place
- The pair placed third in the winter series, based in South Africa, last month
- Footballer Tom, 23, lives in Barnsley, and estate agent Samie, 22, is from Essex
- The former couple blamed distance and their careers for the split
Love Island couple Samie Elishi and Tom Clare have split just one month after the ITV show finished.
The pair, who came third during the South African series, parted ways after wanting to ‘focus on their careers’.
Footballer Tom, 23, who lives in Barnsley, and estate agent Samie, 22, who is based in Essex, also put their break up down to not being able to make the distance work.
A source told The Sun: ‘Samie and Tom have sadly decided to call it a day. There is a lot of love and respect there but it just wasn’t going anywhere.
‘The distance between them was too much and they are both really focused on their careers post Love Island.’

Fans feared the pair had split after not posting each other on their social media accounts for two weeks.
Tom had previously said he would happily move to wherever for Samie to make their relationship work but there was ‘no rush’ to do so.
In the meantime, the pair were travelling to each other’s homes to spend a ‘few days together’ and trying to make their romance work.
Tom told The Sun earlier this month: ‘I’ve been down there for a few days or she’s come up here. It hasn’t been like a one day thing, we’re making it work.
‘I think eventually we want to move in together but that takes time, it’s not something that you rush.
‘I think if we could we’d want to move in together tomorrow but we’re just making it natural. I’d live wherever Samie wants to live – I’m not bothered me.’
Following appearing on the hit ITV dating show, Tom and Samie made their relationship official while on a romantic date night.
At the end of March, Samie took to Instagram to share the exciting news, she wrote: ‘This is my BOYFRIEND everyone.’
The pair documented a number of dates since then including heading to the football together, romantic dinner dates and playing top golf.
The pair managed to make it all the way to the final and place third, despite both arriving as bombshell contestants.
They lost out to winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan and placed just behind runners up Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins.
