‘My time is running out’ – Sam Thompson opens up about fear of not becoming a dad

Sam Thompson opened up about his hopes to become a parent

In the beautifully frank and honest conversation, Sam told Jamie that becoming a dad is something he's always dreamed of, but confessed he feels like his time is running out, despite only being 33 years old.

He told his fellow Made In Chelsea alum, "My time is running out. I want to be a dad so badly, so badly. I just don’t know if it’s going to happen."

Jamie stressed that Sam has plenty of time, but the presenter admitted he can't help but feel like he's on a time crunch.

“I don’t know, I sometimes feel sad that I’m never going to get to be a dad. I would love to be a dad at some point,” Sam said.

Jamie attempted to reassure Sam by telling him that Al Pacino had a baby when he was in his 80s.

"I don’t want to be 80. I want to be a youngish parent, I hope, one day," Sam stressed.

He continued, "I really wanna be a parent. More than anything, I just want Pete [Wicks] to be a godfather to my kid. I would love that so much."

Sam has been praised for being so honest about his fears surrounding fatherhood.

One fan wrote, "I love that Sam is talking about this. It's such a real fear for so many!"

Another added, "I relate to this as someone who has just hit 40 and is still single - the fear is so real."

"Becoming a parent in your late 30s / early 40s is quite normal these days. When he finds the right person, it can absolutely happen for him," another added.

Sam is currently in a relationship with influencer Talitha Balinska. They have reportedly been dating since August 2025.
