Love Island Couple Reveals They Are Now Officially Boyfriend And Girlfriend

They left the Love Island village in third place and revealed that they would be making their relationship official soon after spending time outdoors together.

And Samie Elishi and Tom Clare have now revealed they are dating after enjoying a romantic date on Tuesday night.

Samie, 22, announced that Tom, 23, was now her boyfriend when she shared a video of him dancing in the back of a taxi after their night out.

She captioned the clip: ‘This is my BOYFRIEND everyone (love heart and laughing face emojis).

The couple had dined at Gloria Trattoria Italian restaurant in London’s Shoreditch, where it seems they decided to make things official.

Samie shared a glamorous photo of the couple on her Instagram page after the night, where she was dressed in a sexy cut-out dress.

The keyhole-style dress showed off her cleavage and slender physique, while she completed the look with a full face of makeup and slicked-back locks.

The reality star was having a fruit cocktail while they waited for their food to arrive, a wheel of cheese pasta, a restaurant specialty that is prepared at the table.

Clearly a fan of the restaurant, Samie wrote, “My favorite place with my favorite person.”

Meanwhile, Tom looked stylish in a basic white All Saints t-shirt and jeans.

The pair flew home to the UK last week after coming third during the Love Island final.

It was a great welcome home for them as the couple were surprised by friends and family on Friday night.

The footballer and real estate agent were overwhelmed when their friends filmed them walking to the surprise party, which featured their initials in giant letters.

Co-star Claudia Fogerty even turned up at the party as she reunited with her friends after she was kicked off the island before the finale.

Tom also took advantage of the next morning to answer if he had already made things official with Samie, confirming that although not yet, she will soon be his girlfriend.

A large group of Tom and Samie’s nearest and dearest gathered to throw them their homecoming party, leaving the young couple overwhelmed.

Decorating a venue for the party, a giant ‘S’ and ‘T’ in light box letters were placed in one corner, along with a whimsical balloon arch and neon light reading ‘Crazy in Love’.

Many also filmed their arrival as the couple walked upstairs to see all their guests waiting, greeting everyone with shocked faces and hugs.

Claudia also surprised the couple, who left the villa before the last week in a quadruple dump.

As he made his way to the party, both Tom and Samie were shocked, with the latter putting his hand over his mouth before running over to hug his friend.

Sharing a video of the moment to her Instagram Stories, Claudia wrote: ‘Surprise @samieelishi @tomclare I wouldn’t miss your homecoming party for the world. I love you both very much and I am very proud of you.’

The next morning, Tom turned to his own Stories to answer some fan questions as Samie took the couple on a road trip.

Asked by a follower if he was surprised to see Claudia back at the party, Tom replied: “The best surprise, she’s a top girl.”

Many were eager to find out if Tom and Samie, who declared their love for each other in the Love Island villa and described themselves as ‘exclusive’, were officially dating.

Setting the record straight, the footballer told the camera: ‘Samie will be my girlfriend very soon. We are very private people and it’s something that just the two of us would do, but yes, she will be my girlfriend 100%.’

Tom and Samie managed to make it all the way to the final and place third, despite both coming in as stunning contestants.

But ultimately, they lost to winners Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan and fell just behind runners-up Ron Hall and Lana Jenkins.

The duo will meet the entire cast of Love Island on Sunday night’s reunion episode of the show, which will see them sit down with host Maya Jama, a week after leaving the village.
