Reality TV stars Samie Elishi from Love Island and Bec Zacharia from Married At First Sight Australia share a surprising connection that predates their fame. Social media detectives uncovered 2019 photos of the pair working together in London, including conference snapshots with colleagues and a black-and-white selfie posted on Bec’s account.
Unexpected Early Bond
The images reveal drastically different looks for both women, captured during Bec’s time living in the UK. Social media buzz highlights the duo’s professional collaboration at the event. Notably, Samie no longer follows Bec on platforms, amid Bec’s portrayal as a controversial figure in the ongoing Married At First Sight Australia series due to heated confrontations.
Samie’s Reality TV Triumphs and Romance Update
Samie, 26, first competed on Love Island’s ninth season in 2023, returned for All Stars in 2025, and won series three in February alongside Ciaran Davies, 23. The couple split just three weeks after claiming the £50,000 prize.
She now enjoys a budding romance with fellow Love Island alum Tyrique Hyde, 26, from season ten. The pair recently jetted off to Agadir, Morocco, for their first holiday together, sharing intimate moments like a jet ski ride in matching life jackets and Samie lounging by the pool.
New Brand Deal and Relationship Buzz
Before departing, Samie celebrated her role as W7 Cosmetics’ brand ambassador with a dinner at The Ivy Asia in London. Sources close to her note excitement about the trip and her thriving career and love life, as she focuses on the connection without external distractions.
Tyrique, who previously coupled with Ella Thomas before their early 2024 breakup, openly pursued Samie online. In past clips, he praised her looks, calling her “very good looking” and “so cool” after real-life encounters at events.
