Who is Sam Reece?

Bearded beauty Sam Reece, 24, has been steadily gaining fans since the breakdown of his relationship with Stephanie Davis.

The Manchester-based model is signed up to modelling agency Nemisis and regularly posts images from his shoots on Instagram to his 237,000 fans.

You may recognise him from when he went on the TV show First Dates, where he received backlash after requesting he split the bill with his date.

When did Sam Reece date Stephanie Davis?

The couple got together in spring 2015, but it all went downhill as she went into the Celebrity Big Brother house in 2016.

Last January, Stephanie sensationally dumped Sam on national television during her stint, and struck up an intimate relationship with Jeremy McConnell.

It appears that the split still touches a nerve, as he appeared to take a sly dig at his ex-girlfriend on social media as she flaunts her rekindled relationship with Jeremy McConnell last month.

Along with eyes and a laughing emoji, he wrote on Twitter: “Does anyone have any loyalties anymore.”

In January he seemed to brand the ex-Hollyoaks actress a “snake” – and hinted that he and Jeremy were both her victims.

Who else has he dated?

Sam started dating Real Housewives of Cheshire star Dawn Ward's daughter Taylor, after splitting from Stephanie. 

On one of the episodes he was invited for lunch with her parents, millionaire couple Ashley and Dawn Ward — where he also had the pleasure of meeting housewife Lauren Simon.

The relationship was short-lived as the pair went their separate ways just after the programme aired.

In recent months he has been linked to Ex On The Beach star Harriette Harper, who uploaded a photo of a huge rock on her ring finger with the caption "Perfect end to a perfect weekend" sparking rumours the new couple could already be engaged.
