Speaking about their relationship with OK! Magazine Paul said: “I’ve never felt this way about a girl before. It’s hit me hard.”

In the said interview Sam added, “We talk about kids more than we do marriage, but as couple we want the whole package.”

Well, it looks like they are well on their way then! According to the Mirror a source has said the twosome are very happy with their news:

“They are really thrilled and really looking forward to being first time parents together.”

Sam and Paul met on a night out, in Essex, naturally, shortly after she and Joey Essex had split up. While they are not living together at the moment, once Sam has finished with her home’s renovations the pair will be co-habiting full-time.

Paul, a property developed, and Sam had a tough few months as Sam was diagnosed with Chron’s disease. Now though it seems the pair are happy to be looking towards a bright future together.

Exciting times ahead for the pair indeed, we wish them all the best on their new adventures!
