Jess Harding and Sammy Root (Season 10)
Jess and Sammy made their romance official weeks before they won the season 10 prize in August 2023. After returning home to England, they celebrated their victory with their loved ones.
Rumors swirled in October 2023 that the season 10 winners had gone their separate ways less than two months after the finale aired. Sammy subsequently confirmed the news via his Instagram Story.
“Yes, we had a private conversation regarding our relationship, but this was left up in the air and we haven’t had a chance to speak in person,” Sammy wrote in a lengthy statement. “For me to see then today via the mid that we had officially broken up came as a total shock.”
He continued: “I was committed and respectful to our relationship. Unfortunately, things don’t always work out the way you hoped. Despite how this has all played out today, I think Jess is an amazing woman and genuinely wish her all the best.”
Jess did not publicly address the breakup at the time.
