The Seven presenter said he will sometimes spend weekends in Melbourne, too, so as to maximise the couple’s shared time.
‘Whenever we have spare time, it’s together,’ said Sam.
However, he insisted marriage wasn’t on the cards yet, only offering an ‘uh, no’ when pressed on the issue of matrimony.

In an interview with The Kyle and Jackie O Show last month, Sam admitted he was shocked to discover Rebecca didn’t recognise him from TV.
‘She had no idea who I was, which it kind of made me feel, “Oh, that’s really beautiful,” but then part of me was, like, a little bit furious. Like, surely one of your friends has heard of me, someone!’ he said.
With Rebecca based in Melbourne and Sam in Sydney, he said they spent ‘about six months’ talking online before finally meeting in person.
Describing their first meeting as ‘nerve-wracking’, Sam revealed he sent the stylist his showreel so she could see what he did for a living.

Sam said they ‘finally’ met in person at the end of the last year, and things have been going well ever since.
‘We just got along so well straight away. And now we’re on, and I’m so happy, she’s awesome,’ he gushed.
The popular TV star announced his relationship with Rebecca on Instagram on March 27, and said they’d been introduced by a mutual friend.
