Sam Frost has reportedly split from her long-term boyfriend, Dave Bashford.

The pair have not shared a picture together on Instagram since September.

‘It all became too much for Sam who was going through a lot,’ the source claimed.
‘When things are good, they’re both very happy, but the lows are bad. They argue over trivial things.’
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Sam’s representative for comment.
Her agent did not respond to previous emails from Daily Mail Australia several weeks ago, when rumours of a split first surfaced.

Sam, who plays Jasmine Delaney on Home and Away, began dating navy diver Dave in July 2017.
They were last spotted in public together on September 21, at the Colgate Optic White Stakes Day in Randwick, Sydney.
Sam and Dave appeared to spend New Year’s Eve apart. The former Bachelorette instead enjoyed a girls’ trip to New Zealand with her friend Laura French.

In June last year, Dave pleaded guilty to possessing 0.4 grams of cocaine.
The 27-year-old had been busted during a covert police drug operation at the Beach Road Hotel in Sydney’s Bondi on May 4.
On June 25, magistrate Michael Compton handed Dave a 12-month good behaviour bond and conditional release.

At the time, Sam supported her boyfriend throughout his legal troubles.
‘I just love him so much and I think, fair enough if it was me, but it wasn’t me and I had nothing to do with it,’ she said of the media scrutiny Dave faced.
‘But it was something that happened and now it’s public because of me.’
Sam said that Dave shouldn’t be criticised too harshly because of his 10 years of service as a navy clearance diver.
‘He’s human, he made a mistake and he’s extremely remorseful and I think it’s unfair that it’s had to play out in the media because he doesn’t deserve it,’ she added.
