He wrote: "My best friend, and soul mate….some would say my person. I’m afraid you’re stuck with me forever happy birthday. "I love you so much, and wow have I missed you over the past month! Here’s to another amazing year with you.". However, the relationship was to end just days later.

A source close to the couple told MailOnline: "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. "But after a tough year of working hard at their romance, they have split and will be focusing on their individual careers going forward into 2025.
"There has been no scandal or fallout between them, it's just the result of a difficult year, where they both had to spend a lot of time focused on their own projects.". Following the split, Sam joined some of his Made In Chelsea pals for a wild New Year as Zara stayed in their Chelsea home.
The TV star, 32, was seen in a pub making a toast as Reza Amiri-Garroussi filmed. Sam and Reza were joined by a group of pals at Kensington Rooftop Gardens, including MIC star Josh Patterson. In his speech, I’m A Celeb winner Sam said it was going to be a "memorable evening" as he told his reality telly pals how lucky he was to be spending New Year with them.
