The couple were spotted packing on the PDA at a nearby beach on Wednesday after reports they were giving their relationship 'one last shot' following weeks of 'crisis talks.'
Sam and Zara, who have been together for four years, sparked rumours they had split in recent weeks after a blazing row.
During their 'rocky' patch, Zara's Strictly pro partner Graziano Di Prima admitted to kicking her in rehearsals last year in an apology statement, after he was sacked from the BBC show over her claims.
While the shocking details over her Strictly experience emerged, Zara was seemingly battling to save her long-term relationship with Sam behind closed doors at the same time.
It's been reported there's been 'a lot of tears' and 'strain on their relationship' due to the allegations surrounding Graziano, but the couple are said to be sticking by each other and doing everything to make it work.
A source told OK magazine: 'Things have been very up and down for Zara and Sam over the past few months and there have been points that they’ve thought about ending it.
'Ultimately that [Graziano scandal] put extra stress and pressure on her and Sam as they were both dealing with a lot. She feels her Strictly experience has been tarnished. There have been a lot of tears.
'But they both have a lot of love for each other and are determined to try to give it one more go. They know what they have together and don’t want to have any regrets. They are determined to fight to stay together.'

Zara and Sam's break comes after she broke her silence about the news that her pal Pete Wicks would be taking part in the new series of Strictly Come Dancing.
Pete, 36, signed up for the show after it emerged that Zara was physically and verbally abused by her professional dance partner Graziano Di Prima while taking part in the competition last year.
However, sharing the news to Instagram, she threw her support behind Pete saying it 'made her so happy.'
Re-posting the official announcement, Zara wrote: 'I've never been so excited. Love you.'
In a comment, she added: 'This makes me so happy. You’re going to have the best time. I am so proud of you. I cannot wait to see you in some sparkles and maybe even some hot pants.'
Sam also shared: 'No words. So proud of you... the content we are going to make that you don't even know about yet.'
Zara and the former TOWIE star frequently joke they are in a throuple relationship with Zara's boyfriend Sam who has been best pals with Pete since 2019.
Despite their close-knit friendship, he has landed a spot on the Strictly line-up amid shocking reports Zara performed on the show with a 'fractured' leg following an injury in training and needed painkillers to get through ten-hour rehearsals.
The latest revelation comes after professional dancer Graziano, 30, admitted to kicking Zara during their sessions, causing him to be sacked from the BBC series.
It follows claims his abusive behaviour was caught on video, in clips Zara stated were 'incredibly distressing to watch.'
A source told MailOnline: 'Zara is so happy for Pete landing the Strictly gig.

'Her experience on the show was so individual – she hopes no one will go through the same again.'
They added: 'She knows that Pete will have an amazing time and could even impress the judges, he's incredibly hardworking and a good person, and will thrive in the environment, which can be intense, but he performs best when he's challenged and under pressure.
'Zara doesn't want anything that happened to her to taint his Strictly journey and backs Pete even if it is a bit close to home.'
Pete joined Sam in the Strictly studio audience last year and together they wore patterned shirts embellished with Zara's face to show their support.
They posed for photographs alongside Zara and Graziano, who has since fled to his native Sicily in the wake of his Strictly axing.
The Sun revealed Zara needed painkillers to get through ten-hour training sessions after breaking a leg bone on Strictly.
A source told The Sun that the TV star danced during the show's Halloween week with a fractured leg, and it was 'literal horror in every sense of the word.'
An X-ray revealed severe ligament damage plus a stress fracture on her left tibia.
Show bosses learned the full extent of the injury only two weeks ago when Zara spoke to private investigators amid the inquiry into Graziano's behaviour.
