Sam Prince and Inga Valentiner are officially back on after the pair were seen splitting up on Made in Chelsea earlier this year. And in an exclusive shoot with OK!, Sam and Inga tell us it was impossible for them to move on from each other.

"We could spend every second of every day with each other. When we broke up, it was so difficult because I tried to move on and so did Inga, but nothing could really replace that," Sam shares. In our interview, Sam and Inga reveal the moment they decided they were going to give things another go, adding that they have even spoken about getting married one day!

They say distance makes the heart grow fonder and that couldn’t be more true for Made In Chelsea stars Sam Prince and Inga Valentiner.

The couple, who we can exclusively reveal have rekindled their romance, couldn’t keep their hands off each other in our shoot!

Sam, 25, started dating Inga, 29, last year. However, a few months into their relationship, they both felt “suffocated” and Inga split from Sam.

She insisted they would “never speak again” – but now they have confirmed to OK! they are very much back on.

Sam even tells us he couldn’t imagine life without Inga – and he feels like an “idiot” that he ever took her for granted.

Meanwhile, Inga says she decided to give Sam another chance after taking advice from pal Maeva D’Ascanio, 30. Here, the loved-up couple tell us more…

Hi, guys! So you’re giving things another go… What’s different this time around?

Sam: I’ve grown up a bit. I’ve decided what I really want. I wanted Inga to be my girlfriend. I think I was super-lost, it’s in no way an excuse, but it happened. I made mistakes and I treated her badly. And spending time away from each other made me realise how special our relationship was. I took it for granted at the start. And I’m not doing anything wrong to jeopardise that ever again.

Inga, what made you want to give Sam a second chance?

Inga: It wasn’t an easy decision. I was very conflicted. I was going between what my head wanted and what my heart wanted. It was actually Maeva who sort of played Cupid and said, ‘You know what, if you really love someone, you’re making a mistake by not being with them. You have to let go of the past and give it another try.’ So I think that advice made me think twice. I followed my heart because she made me realise I could end up regretting it if I didn’t give it one more go.

Sam: Maeva has been a massive help with getting our relationship back on track. It’s crazy as this time last year, Maeva and I were head-to-head. We’ve had lots of rows which people have seen but it’s amazing, because in Majorca it let me spend some time with her and realise how lovely she is and how caring she has been to me and to Inga and helping us get back together.

Inga: She was at the forefront of championing us both when a lot of people couldn’t see where we were coming from.

Sam, what have you learned about yourself?

Sam: I’ve learned so much regarding my relationship with Inga. I’ve just learned what to do in situations and to not take her for granted ever again. I’ve upset a few girls, including Inga, and I think I would definitely have gone about things differently if I could.

Have you met each other’s parents yet?

Inga: It’s coming up to a year since we’ve met each other’s parents. I’m really close with Sam’s Mum.

Sam: Mum definitely prefers Inga to me.

Inga: She calls me her daughter and baby girl! It’s so cute. And even when we’ve broken up, she’s been so supportive. She’ll be very impartial. And that’s what we really needed. It was like gaining another parent. She really has our backs as a couple and it’s lovely.

Do you trust each other 100%?

Inga: It is one of those things that if you lose your trust, it’s hard to get back. I think that was the fundamental thing going back into this relationship. We both needed to make sure it was 1,000%.

How are things with Verity Bowditch?

Sam: Next question!

Inga: Sam was very silly and he knows that now. But we’ve sorted all of that out. When Sam and I got back together, we had to shut it down and it had to be put in the past as we wouldn’t have been able to progress as a couple if it wasn’t all ironed out with Verity.

Have you seen her recently?

Inga: She invited us to her birthday recently and it felt normal. I think it’s crazy this has all happened in the last year as it kind of feels like it’s happened over 10 years.

Sam: Yeah, I was so stupid. I think it’s nice that we can all just be friends now and move on.

Inga: We all get on now. I think all of us have put it in the past and we’re being adults about it.

What did friends think when you were getting back together?

Sam: In the past, people have always been like, ‘God, you’re back together.’ I think when we first broke up, I tried to show that I didn’t care. But, this time, I’ve shown my genuine feelings and been very open with everyone.

Inga: It’s the first time anyone has truly championed us. In the beginning, we did make a bit of a mess of it and so, of course, no one would support us. But people started to see the softer emotional side to us and realise these are two people that have genuine feelings for each other.

Do you feel it’s important that viewers see this side of your relationship?

Sam: Yes. I think it’s so common for couples to fall out and come back together. We’re in a good place now and it’s the right time for us. Neither of us were ready before but now we are.

Inga: I think one of the reasons it’s going so well this time around is our friends are supportive now. Before, we were almost isolated from everyone and only had each other. It’s made such a difference and now we’re a lot happier.

What do you love about each other the most?

Sam: Inga is very caring and affectionate. She’s constantly giving love and that’s something I’ve always craved. She’s very supportive and my best friend.

Inga: I’ve been in a long-term relationship before and there was always something missing but with Sam, I think I finally got the things I wanted this whole time. And that was the passion, the fun, the spontaneity. I’ve always wanted to travel around with the person that I’m with and have those adventures. Finally, I found someone that I can do that with.

You fell out with Liv [Bentley] in the last series, Sam. Has this made you stronger as friends?

Sam: I was lost about what I truly wanted and believed in, I made silly mistakes. I was getting rid of Liv because I wanted to do anything to get Inga back. That was not the right thing to do. But I value Liv a lot. We’re stronger than ever now.

Was there a moment you both knew you wanted to reunite?

Inga: We hadn’t spoken in weeks and Sam messaged me saying, ‘Do you want to meet up?. So we ended up meeting and there were so many sparks. It wasn’t exactly the best time because there was a lot going on and it was quite messy. But I think that moment was when I realised I was still very much in love with Sam.

Sam: We ended up going to Hyde Park and we were chatting for ages. We spent such a long time apart and we had found each other again. I honestly feel like I had just got home.

Inga: It did feel like home. When something feels right, that’s when you know you have to give it another chance.

Do you see yourselves getting married and having kids?

Inga: That’s something we have spoken about and we’re both excited to have that in our future but we have so much to do before then, like travel together and have more adventures.

Sam: I think we’re still children ourselves! It’s the first time I’ve had a girlfriend where we’re just kids and we can totally be ourselves. We can sit down and either play Mario Kart or have a romantic meal.

Inga: We are best friends, really. It’s important to have a best friend in the person you’re with because then you can spend a lot of time with each other and have fun. I’m glad we have that.

Sam: We could spend every second of every day with each other. When we broke up, it was so difficult because I tried to move on and so did Inga, but nothing could really replace that.

Sam, will your feud with Julius Cowdrey ever end?

Sam: I hope it never ends. I quite enjoy it. That guy takes life way too seriously. I like when people take the p*** out of me and I like taking the p*** out of people.

When did it start?

Sam: I was kind of OK with Julius back in the day and we even got matching tattoos. Now, he’s just annoying. Whenever I’ve done something wrong in my life, he’s always been there to pick it apart. Maybe one day we can end the feud because it is just banter, at the end of the day.

Inga, are you friends with him?

Inga: We’ve always had a kind of on-off friendship but we’ve never been overly close. But Julius is a guy that just wears his emotions on his sleeve. And that’s fine but he’s very sensitive. I think he takes offence at the smallest of things. So, hopefully he can lighten up a little.

Does Maeva and James Taylor having a baby surprise you?

Sam: I was really shocked when I found out but you can see how ready they are and James has really been working on the dad bod. They are 100% soulmates and couple goals! I’m just waiting for the godfather call.

Inga: They are massively couple goals. I think when I watch them together, they’ve got so many different dynamics that you can aspire to have in a relationship. I think they are so perfect for each other and I’m happy that Maeva and James have finally got everything they deserved.

Tell us what we can expect from you both in the new series of Made In Chelsea?

Sam: More pettiness from me and also you’ll get to see a lot more of the dynamic of our relationship.

Inga: Yeah, we can be quite naughty together. And I think our sense of humour kind of matches and we can be a bit childish. But all in a banter way, so it’s been fun to show that.
