The rumours first began when she was still with Ciaran and Tyrique made a bold move on social media to ask her to contact him next time she's in London.
To add even more question marks above their relationship, Tyrique and Samie were also spotted at a Baller League match together just after she split from the welshman and flew home from New York.
And the latest bit of evidence which all but confirms the new relationship is Tyrique talking about her on one of his social media livestreams.
Questioned by guest and All Star contestant Carrington Rodriguez, he was asked how he would feel if he was in Ciaran's shoes and saw someone making Instagram posts about their partner.
Tyrique responded: "Would I appreciate it? Probably not. But I’d understand that the game is the game, innit? Everyone has their own personalities, I showed mine.
"I’m someone that has to go big or go home. I decided to go big, and now she’s coming home."
Samie has yet to address the rumours she's dating Tyrique.
Ciaran has also commented on the rumoured relationship and said: "During the time before New York when we were seeing each other he sent flowers to her house and I found out maybe a day or two days ago.
"How he got the address I’ll never know. Now I’m just getting made to look a fool.
"I’ve also come to find out that he unfollowed me the day before we split and the day after he did that post about Samie."
