Wow, Love Island’s Samantha Kenny is dating HUGE reality TV star and I don’t know what to think

Fresh off the back of finding nationwide fame on season 11 of Love Island, Samantha Kenny has reportedly grown close to noneother than reality TV’s biggest love ’em and leave ’em type, Pete Wicks.

In 2024, makeup artist Samantha entered the Love Island villa on day one and immediately coupled up with hunky hairdresser Sam Taylor. She was then stolen by another reality TV f**kboy, Joey Essex, and she remained with him until being dumped from the island on day 16. She’s been relatively quiet ever since, but now Samantha has been linked to – drum roll, please – Pete Wicks. Was it ever going to be anyone else?

A few weeks ago, the pair were spotted on a night out in London shortly after Pete’s split from Maura Higgins. People speculated about a potential romance at the time, and now it has seemingly been confirmed.

“Pete and Samantha have gone on a few dates and have really hit it off,” a source told The Sun. “She’s got a wicked sense of humour and is absolutely gorgeous. Samantha is a fresh start for Pete.”

Though it doesn’t actually mean anything, after all, Pete is also following Teddy Swims and Chris Hughes, they do follow one another on Instagram. I’m not putting my eggs in this basket until there’s a ring on it; we’ve been duped too many times in the rollercoaster that is Pete Wicks’ dating life.

Who had Pete Wicks dated before Samantha Kenny?

Pete Wicks’ first public girlfriend was fellow TOWIE star Jess Wright, but that romance tanked when she was pictured smooching Lewis Bloor.

“We nearly fell out over that. But we’re not really compatible relationship-wise. We’ll always have a bit of chemistry, but we’re better off as friends,” Pete said at the time.

Pete then had an on-again, off-again fling with Megan McKenna, with the two initially breaking up on TOWIE and later getting back together for a short while on Celebs Go Dating. After that was Jacqui Ryland, a glamour model, followed by Megan Barton Hanson, Chloe Sims, and Ella Rae Wise.

Pete’s most notable relationship as of late was with Maura Higgins BEFORE she necked on with Danny Jones and broke the internet. Rumours swirled for months about a possible romance, with them being spotted kissing in public and exchanging cheeky quips on Instagram.

“Maura fell for him very quickly and very hard – so for things to end so soon has been heartbreaking. But in any relationship, she needs to be able to trust someone 100 per cent, and she just couldn’t find that with Pete, so she had to end things,” a source told Closer after their relationship tanked.

“She’d introduced Pete to her family and friends back home in Ireland, and they were surprised when she announced that things were over. But it’s Maura’s call, and she’s told them she believes it was never going to work.”

Obviously, Pete’s most stable relationship is with Sam Thompson.
