Samie Elishi and Tyrique Hyde have announced they are expecting their first child together, marking a major milestone in their relationship just months after going public with their romance.

The Love Island stars shared the news on Monday, 19 October, through a video posted on social media, featuring moments from their pregnancy journey, including positive pregnancy tests and footage of Samie attending an ultrasound appointment.

The couple also shared images of their baby’s scan, giving followers a first glimpse of the exciting news. The announcement was accompanied by Jodeci's song Forever My Lady, adding to the emotional feel of the video.

Tyrique also shared his excitement about becoming a father, writing on his Instagram Story:

"Don’t make a scene. Can’t wait for this next chapter. Love you @samieelishi.”

The announcement was met with congratulatory messages from fans and fellow reality television personalities, with many celebrating the couple as they prepare to enter parenthood together. One person commented:

“Aww! How cute! Congratulations to them both!”

Another wrote:

“They are truly in love. I see them lasting a very long time. Awww, congrats!”

However, the news also caught many followers off guard, particularly given how recently the pair confirmed their relationship.

One surprised fan commented:

“Was not expecting to see this on my TL today!”

Another person acknowledged the speed of their relationship while still expressing support for the couple, writing:

“While this is all happening all very quick, I actually DO think they suit each other a lot and seem very smitten with each other. Congrats to them!”

Others focused on the relatively short time the pair have been together, with some questioning how quickly they have reached such a significant milestone. One person commented:

“Wow, after only six months together!? She won All Stars with someone else earlier this year too. Congrats to them tho!”

The reaction comes after Samie experienced a whirlwind few months in her love life, having won Love Island: All Stars earlier this year with Ciaran Davies before their relationship came to an abrupt end.

Samie and Ciaran were crowned the winners of the ITV2 dating show's third series in February 2026, after building a connection in the villa that had convinced many viewers they could make their relationship work outside the programme.

However, their romance did not last long once they returned to everyday life. The pair split less than three weeks after their victory, with their separation becoming a talking point among fans who had supported them throughout the series.

Ciaran later spoke about the break-up, explaining that communication between them had changed after leaving the villa and that he felt the relationship had become one-sided. Samie also addressed the separation, indicating that she could not continue a relationship when her feelings were no longer there.

The quick end to their romance surprised viewers, particularly given that they had only just won the series together. Their split also meant Samie was single again only a short time after the show had presented them as its winning couple.

Around the same period, Samie began being linked to Tyrique, another familiar face from the Love Island franchise. The pair were spotted together in March, shortly after her separation from Ciaran, before making their relationship public in April.

This means Samie moved from winning All Stars with Ciaran in February to beginning a new relationship with Tyrique within roughly one to two months. Their romance has since progressed, with the pregnancy announcement arriving around six months after they made their relationship official.

Tyrique had previously revealed that he had been interested in Samie for years, having first met her before either of them became well known through Love Island. He later explained that they had not been speaking romantically while she was in the All Stars villa, and that their relationship developed after she left the show.

The timing of their relationship attracted attention online, with some fans questioning how quickly Samie had moved on following her split from Ciaran. Others, however, felt that the couple appeared happy together and should be allowed to enjoy their relationship without being judged by its timeline.

Now, the pair are preparing to welcome their first child together, taking their relationship into a new chapter that neither may have anticipated when they first reconnected earlier this year.

Despite the surprise surrounding the announcement, many supporters have focused on the excitement of becoming parents, with fellow reality television stars and fans sending messages of congratulations.

The couple have not publicly shared further details about the pregnancy, including how far along Samie is or the baby's sex. However, their video has given followers a glimpse into the journey so far, with the ultrasound footage making the announcement particularly special.

For Samie, the news marks a major personal milestone following a busy year that has included an All Stars victory, a high-profile break-up and a new relationship. Tyrique is also preparing for a significant change as he gets ready to become a father.

While some viewers are still getting used to how quickly their romance has progressed, the couple's announcement has brought plenty of excitement from those happy to see them take this step together.

With their first baby on the way, Samie and Tyrique now have a new chapter to look forward to, and fans will be watching as the pair prepare for parenthood.

Congratulations to Samie and Tyrique as they prepare to welcome their little one, we wish them all the best as they begin this exciting new chapter together!
