Love Island Stars Tyrique Hyde and Samie Elishi Debut at Pride of Britain Awards After Announcing Pregnancy
The couple, seven months into their romance, revealed they are expecting their first child just hours before attending the prestigious event.
Samie Elishi and Tyrique Hyde, stars of the reality dating show Love Island, made their first public appearance since announcing their pregnancy at the Pride of Britain Awards on Monday. The couple, who have been together for seven months, shared their joyful baby news just hours before arriving on the red carpet.
Hyde, 27, was seen cradling Elishi's baby bump as they posed for photographs. Elishi, 26, wore a satin halterneck dress. The couple shared a video montage on Instagram featuring their first ultrasound and early pregnancy moments, set to the song "Forever My Lady." Hyde captioned the post, "Can't wait for this next chapter.. Love you @Samie Elishi."
Elishi previously won the third series of Love Island: All Stars with Ciaran Davies, but the pair split three weeks after leaving the villa. She publicly confirmed her relationship with Hyde in April, following a trip to Morocco. Reports at the time suggested Elishi and Hyde may have been connected prior to her appearance on Love Island: All Stars, with insiders indicating that differences in lifestyle and upbringing became apparent between Elishi and Davies after the show concluded. Elishi, from North London, and Hyde, from Essex, are described as having aligned lifestyles and outlooks, whereas Davies, from South Wales, presented a contrast.
Hyde had previously expressed admiration for Elishi before she entered the All Stars season, stating in an online clip that he found her to be "very good looking" and later remarking on her being "so cool" when encountering her at events. The couple's relationship timeline suggests they began spending time together shortly after Elishi's split from Davies.
