As lockdown restrictions begin to ease up, Home And Away’s Sam Frost has wasted no time getting to know her hunky new cast member Ethan Browne.
The former Bachelorette, 31, was all smiles as she was spotted in Sydney recently with the handsome New Zealand-born actor, picking up a takeaway coffee before strolling through Rose Bay together.
Social media has been abuzz with the pair’s close friendship after Sam has been seen liking and commenting on shirtless images of Ethan working out, despite the actor having a girlfriend.
While COVID-19 had delayed Ethan’s appearances on the soap, it seems the pair will be spending a lot more time together as Home And Away producers announced they are ready to start filming again.
It comes as the blonde beauty sparked rumours she had secretly split from her long-term boyfriend, David Bashford.
While they gushed last year over their excitement for their future, it seemed as if things have taken a dramatic turn for Home And Away’s Sam Frost and her boyfriend Dave Bashford – the news was confirmed to Woman’s Day by a source close to Sam, 30, and Dave, 27 earlier this year.
“It all became too much for Sam who was going through a lot. Her career was taking a new path and her mental health was definitely not where it needed to be,” says the insider. “When things are good, they’re both very happy, but the lows are bad. They argue over trivial things.”
The couple reportedly spent New Year’s Eve apart, with Sam even fleeing to New Zealand with her best friend to get away from it all.
