First, a reminder of this very sweet and romantic pic collage and birthday message Steph made for Sam. A previous source sent it to me and said I could share it. 👇

Before I post each pic individually, indulge me in some debunking of SamCait shipper lies. There's nothing that I relish more than PROVING shippers wrong. A few weeks ago, I posted this screenshot of Sam holding his cell phone and you can see his cell phone screensaver. 👇

Close up. 👇

Pic rotated to see it better. 👇

The sane part of the fandom aka us, knew that it was a pic of Sam and Steph at Rik Rankin's wedding last July. The insane part of the fandom aka shippers, said it was a pic of Sam and Caitriona Balfe. Hahaha. 🤭 Um, yeah, nope. Shippers tried to say it couldn't be Steph because the dress she wore to Rik's wedding had straps and the cell phone pic looked like the dress was strapless, or very thin straps like what Cait wore...

Weelllll, here is PROOF POSITIVE that Sam's cell phone screensaver is indeed of him and Steph. 👇 And the reason the dress looked strapless was because Steph was wearing a light colored bolero jacket. Case closed, Edith. 🤗

And LOOK, they're holding hands! 😍 👇

You guys, how cute is it that Sam has them as his cell phone screensaver?! The man IS IN LOVE. ❣️

Now, let's check out the other pics separately and in more detail.

Sam and Steph KISSING at Rik Rankin and Sammie Russell's wedding July 2025. 👇 😘

I know some people are wondering how long they'd been dating at the time of Rik's wedding if they are already kissing and he took her as his date. BUT, remember I told you guys sources told me that Sam and Steph have known each other for many years. They were each living their lives separately, had relationships with other people, and then when the timing was finally right for them to be a couple, it makes sense that they didn't waste any time. Life is precious and short and they both know that. Kind of the stuff that epic love stories are made of...that's why it's ironic that the shippers who say they are all about epic love, have always focused on the wrong things. Anyhooo...

Sam and Steph cuddled together and her young daughter is also in the pic, you can see the top of the little girl's blonde hair at the bottom of the pic. 👇So adorable!

The trio going on a ski vacation together. And look at Sam's arm around Steph's daughter. 👇 You can see his ski glove on her arm. It's lovely to see how much Sam has integrated her into his life. Their smiles! 💓😍

For those saying this may have been as early as January 2025 when Sam posted he went skiing...I don't know, most people use the same snow gear unless they are super frequent skiers. And even if that is when they went, like I said Sam and Steph have known each other for years. I know Steph's second husband died August 2024. So what? Grief is personal and I'm not going to begrudge anyone how they grieve. If it was as early as January 2025, like I said, Steph of all people knows too well how precious and short life is, and maybe she and Sam didn't want to wait longer to be with each other. I don't know that for sure, but I'm not going to judge them. What's important is HOW HAPPY they are. And I'm sure Eoin would want Steph to be happy. Regardless, let's not make assumptions as to when the relationship turned romantic--let's simply focus on the here and now, and the here and now is the happiest Sam I've ever seen. People at Landcon said he was glowing and giddy.

And lastly, Sam and Steph WERE INDEED in Paris together! 👇💘 The forehead kiss is the sweetest thing ever! Sam, you romantic man, you! *sigh*

So, that's all for now, peeps. I cannot wait to see what's next for #stepham. 💘💝💖💗💓💞💕💟❣️
