Rose would often share photos of her and Sam on social media
Before joining Strictly, Rose did share a photo of the pair to celebrate their six years together. Alongside a photo of the two of them on a trip, she wrote on Instagram in 2020: "Six years we been together and I still don't find you annoying."
During Rose and Giovanni's Strictly journey, the pairing even enjoyed social time with Sam. In 2021, Sam was pictured with Rose and the professional dancer during a fun dinner date in celebration of the actress' 27th birthday.
Rose has also previously shared photos on her Instagram of the couple's travels together, including from their holiday in Peru in 2019 when they travelled along the Amazon River.

Opening up about her relationship, Rose did previously tell the Express that the couple enjoys watching TV together, including her own show, EastEnders. "I watch with my boyfriend a lot," she said, adding: "We have similar tastes in shows, but I also like watching alone so there are no disruptions".
The pair have since parted ways, reportedly due to Rose's busying schedule in recent months. In August, it was confirmed that Rose was departing her role as Frankie in EastEnders and had landed an exciting presenting role fronting a documentary titled Signs For Change, all about the daily challenges, discrimination and barriers faced by deaf individuals.
