It was the relationship that pulled viewers the world over into a whirlwind of romance, passion and scandal. And now, new details surrounding Sam’s controversial engagement to bachelor Blake Garvey have surfaced.
In 2014, Blake, 33, sparked national outrage after proposing to Sam on national television as part of 2014’s The Bachelor finale, only to break up with her shortly after.
According to The Daily Mail, a source close to Blake has revealed that Sam’s party-driven lifestyle is what caused him to question the longevity of their relationship.
The source said: “After they stopped filming Sam would call him drunk at nights and he realised they were on different pages.”
The source claims that the drunken phone calls led Blake to believe that she wasn’t “potential ‘mother of my children’ material.”
Adding, “She was a party girl, it wouldn’t have worked.”
“They mutually agreed to split despite her [Sam] claiming otherwise.”
Sam Frost has continued to make headlines since appearing on The Bachelor in 2014.
You don’t need to be a Bachelor enthusiast to know Blake proposed to Sam on national television, only to dump her for the woman who took out third place on the reality show, Louise Pillidge, 28.
Speaking of the relationship, the source said: “He desperately wanted to pick Louise but felt she was not able to handle the media spotlight. The producers convinced him to go with Sam as she was better for telly.”
After revealing that there was in fact pressure to propose, the source said that Blake, “did really like Sam”, but was always more interested in pursuing a relationship with Louise.
Blake and Louise have since separated after an 18-month relationship.
We have to admit, Blake and Louise did make a very lovely couple!
