The lovebirds first crossed paths on the ITVBe reality show in 2018, and by May 2019, they confirmed they were officially an item. They announced they were expecting their first child together in May 2020, and in November 2020, Shelby gave birth to son Abel after a challenging three-day hospital stay. However, in October last year, the couple shocked fans by reportedly going their separate ways. A source told The Sun at the time: “They’re still co-parenting their child together and want to keep things normal for Abel but the romantic relationship is over,” adding that Shelby was being supported by family and friends, reports the Mirror. Shelby also dropped a major hint about her alleged split from Sam on TikTok, posting a video with the telling audio: “This is a song I wrote about men… It is called ew…” She cheekily captioned it: “Am I speaking for the majority of us at this point?” Despite the recent speculation around their alleged separation, Shelby had fans buzzing when she shared a sunny snap with Sam from their Ibiza getaway on Instagram. Followers were thrilled to see the couple reunited after Sam’s absence from Shelby’s feed.
Shelby and Sam are set to become parents for the second time
One fan exclaimed: “I’m so happy that you are back together! Well done guys!” Another echoed the sentiment: “I’m so happy you guys are back together.” A third chimed in: “That’s such great news! Never give up!” TOWIE pal Chloe Lewis couldn’t resist commenting: “So nice to see you both.” Before welcoming baby Abel into the world, Shelby decided to leave TOWIE to focus on her growing family, following Sam’s earlier departure from the show to concentrate on their relationship. Sam expressed his contentment away from the reality TV spotlight on Instagram, stating: “Me and @shelbytribble have never been happier and we are continuing our little fairytale away from the pressure and anxiety from the show. I really feel I have made the right decision to focus on the things that are truly important to me!”Story SavedYou can find this story in  My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
