Why on earth would he pay for a trip for the mum and child just so she could post a 5-second story? It would have been much more convenient if he’d recorded it himself or taken some photos and sent them to her to post as if she’d done it herself (whilst she was still in Ireland). But then you’re telling me that: he paid for two weeks’ stay at a resort and flights for both of them just so she could post that story whilst he stayed at a luxury resort nearby. And let’s not forget his nephew: did he stay at the luxury resort?

Have you ever been to Mallorca? What you said about walks, remote places and so on doesn’t make sense

First of all, if she had only posted generic clips without any physical proof that she had actually been there, it would have been very easy to assume she wasn’t there at all. Just like with the Christmas photos, for example.

But I’ll tell you what doesn’t make sense to me.

It doesn’t make sense to me that Sam would want to spend two full weeks with a woman he appears, at best, simply not to like. We’ve had an entire year of public appearances in which he has actively avoided her touch and has not initiated physical contact even once.

It doesn’t make sense to me that he would choose to spend that much time alone with her and her daughter in an isolated location when he can barely seem to make eye contact with her.

She still looks like someone whose company he tolerates rather than enjoys.

I am going to work with what Madam Mao has shown the Internet people. I know, just as Marple does, where S - and, for that matter, Finn - stayed and it is not what the Widow showed her clients fans.

Were you familiar with the Mediterranean island infrastructure (yes, that includes routes), you would have probably shut up and remained more intelligent than what you just showed us.

Honey, there is no sidewalk. On both sides of the road:

And there is more. I don't have to be Miss Cleo to tell you exactly where she took that video that she posted in her stories:

At the very end of the property, where the stone fence is replaced with chain link mesh. On that little dead end path, which is funny, because the villa itself is situated on a dead-end route:

Use your brain, Anon and make it make sense: she was lackadaisically walking around in a secluded area, a fair distance from the main route - that thing with 🚗 and 🚌, you know - just to take some footage of cats enjoying the welcome shade?

It goes without saying, Anon - in such an environment, a car is a must. This is not flat land, btw.

And now, from a local's POV to your preposterous entitlement, darling:

Not exactly Blackpool's Prom, right?

And before you screech and call me a keyboard expert, allow me to remind you I am a longtime lover of the Mediterranean. Plenty of summers spent in the glorious heat of the French Midi, Corsica and Greece. A deeply affectionate, first-hand knowledge of a summer life rhythm that you are still to master. Morning drives, lazy beach mornings, merciful lunches and long siestas.

Never sell cucumbers to a gardener (Romanian proverb).

The heat? Probably that hot:

Just to clarify: he wasn’t staying at the villa she posted.

I don’t know whether anyone actually checked the location, but the villa from her story is quite literally in the middle of nowhere. It isn’t somewhere you casually stop on the way to somewhere else because you spotted a few cats you simply had to pet. There isn’t even a convenient place to pull over, and it certainly isn’t somewhere you’d just wander past on a walk.

So the chances that she somehow stumbled across this remote villa by accident, just in time to film the sign and pet a cat, seem close to zero to me.

And why would she deliberately mislead the fandom about the location in the first place? It didn’t make Sam look any better. If anything, that villa only made it seem like he was cutting corners when it came to her. And by the time she posted the story, there was no real risk of exposing anyone’s current location, since neither of them was still in Mallorca.

So the most obvious conclusion is that she really was staying at that villa.

Well, well, well… Sam's out on the town with Steven in London, Cait's doing promo… in London too! Steph, better start stretching, you might be getting subbed in! 👋😂

I know absolutely nothing about Reiki, Anon, so I’ll have to take your word for it.

I’m still trying to understand when she actually has time to treat anyone, if she does at all, let alone gain meaningful experience in the field.

One of the most important things in any therapist, especially one who supposedly works with children, is consistency and availability. You need to create a safe space and build a strong, trusting relationship with the client for the treatment to be effective.

I don’t believe for a second that this was some romantic getaway.

I also find it hard to believe she went straight from a long holiday into a retreat with no gap in between. My guess is that the trip ended well before last weekend, and the Mallorca content was simply saved and released later when it became useful.

But I do have to wonder: doesn’t she have a job? Clients who need her?

S and C both reposted this plea from an Irish farmer for people in Ireland to buy fresh local produce otherwise it will be composted.

The cat poster did not .

I obviously don’t know what Sam’s financial situation looks like, so I’m careful not to make definitive claims. But there is a lot of logic in what you’re saying, considering what we know about his wealth and the enormous investment in the distillery, which may or may not be paying for itself yet.

I can only assume that this is one of the things weighing on him over the past year. Because it isn’t just the property and the renovation. It’s employees, salaries, and people whose livelihoods depend on him. And unfortunately, he still doesn’t seem to be making much of an effort to expand his audience.

If I were him, I would completely rethink my image.

I’d lean into something more classic and polished. Maybe grow the beard out a little for the prestige factor. Present a stable, loving relationship with a woman who exudes style and intelligence. I think he knows where to find one. And generally create a sense of premium around both himself and the people connected to him.

At the end of the day, just because he didn’t name the brand “Heughan” doesn’t mean he isn’t the face of it.

He needs to reach a male audience, because realistically, that is still the demographic consuming more whisky, vodka, and tequila. And if he wants to sell a premium brand at premium prices, he cannot keep presenting himself like some tacky nightclub guy covered in accessories, rings, and kitschy tattoos.

I am right by checking the booking page that the villa was vacated a couple of days ago so what is the gain from posting this story and leaking the villa name now? I can only think there’s trouble afoot and she is purposely leaking that he’s choosing or not able to spend much?

What we know of her for sure by now is that there’s an agenda.

There’s clearly an agenda here. Common sense would suggest she’s only revealing the location now because she’s no longer there and wants to avoid unwanted attention. But the more important question is: why reveal the place at all?

We all know the answer. She needs people to see that she was there, supposedly with him.

I’m not sure the intention was to ridicule him, because ultimately that reflects on her too. I doubt she expected that to be the takeaway from the story, but honestly, who even knows anymore?

What I don’t understand is why they keep playing these games when the result consistently communicates the exact opposite of what they seem to want.

For those who are willing to look, the story is completely different. She posted her accommodation. That is all.

And no, the argument that 'she snapped a 📷while walking' is so naive and uninformed that I have to 🤣🤣🤣.

Bat, in honor of that anon we've apparently been driving up the wall, I'm officially becoming the anon who gives an opinion nobody asked for... but is going to give it anyway—and in Spanish, just to make it even better. Deal with it, anon. 😁

Now I finally get Sam's bargain-bin wannabe bad-boy look for this whole relationship. Everything about it is so cheap and low-budget that showing up in a classy casual outfit—because let's be honest, mate, we all know you can pull one off—would stick out like a sore thumb. You've got to dress to match the tacky atmosphere.

A vacation at an overcrowded tourist hotspot, standing in line like every other tourist? A Story where the location just accidentally slips into the frame as if nobody noticed? That's such a tired cliché from bad movies: make it look like an accident.

Seriously, who doesn't carefully check every corner of a post before uploading it to make sure they aren't revealing where they are or who they're with... unless that's exactly what they want people to know?

This woman's playbook is so textbook second-rate attention seeker that it's honestly hilarious. And Sam, whatever you're spending on this whole circus would've been far better invested in a proper vacation. There are plenty of discreet, luxury destinations out there. Or doesn't she deserve a beach in Barbados, Hawaii, Bali, or French Polynesia?

Steph, girl... with all the fish in the sea, and you settled for the grouper? 🤡💩

Anon tienes una manera de decir las cosas que me encanta, yo soy mas politicamente correcta, pero esa retranca que tienes es una pena que se pierda en las traducciones pero como también hay bastantes blogs de habla hispana se te entiende el contexto perfectamente. Tienes unos puntos muy interesantes. Sam tiene el poder adquisitivo como para evitar sitios masificados para sus vacaciones como ya lo ha demostrado muchas veces, entonces…🚩

Anon, I love the way you say things. I'm usually a bit more politically correct, but your dry wit is priceless. It's a shame that some of that sarcasm gets lost in translation, although there are plenty of Spanish-speaking blogs around here, so people can still figure out exactly what you mean from the context.

You make some really interesting points. Sam certainly has the financial means to avoid overcrowded tourist spots for his vacations—he's proved that plenty of times before, so...🚩

Unless this was booked at the absolute last minute and every other villa on the island was already taken, I find it hard to believe Sam would choose a place like this.

I may have high standards, but it looks perfectly average, with the pool being pretty much its only real selling point, and the price is much more in line with what an ordinary family might spend than with the standards of a wealthy celebrity.

Remember the story with the hats at the Dodgers game? A few hours of people questioning whose hand it was, and then suddenly their sad little game selfie appeared?

Apparently the goats weren’t enough to establish the location this time, so a video had to be posted with both the venue sign and the name of the island clearly visible. God forbid anyone in the fandom miss her location two whole weeks after Sam was spotted there.

How pathetic is it that she has to spoon-feed people clues on her “professional” account just to imply they vacationed together?

Which is a slightly funny thought, considering that for the past year he has looked allergic to her touch and as if making eye contact with her might cause him to burst into flames.

I have a lot of thoughts about this. Mainly, I find it interesting that Caitriona was also in the same country at the time, which is certainly a fascinating coincidence. But none of those thoughts lead me to actually believe Sam and Steph vacationed together.
