The Netflix star’s happy news comes just a year after his failed proposal on the show.
Sharing snaps of his fiancee Shani Goldstein, who previously appeared on Big Brother Israel, Sam wrote: “This time last year I went through my toughest times coming off the back of love is blind and it wasn’t easy!
“I gave up on everything and locked myself in my room.
“BUT 12 months later I’m engaged to the love of my life and we are expecting our first baby.

“Life is a journey but just remember when you are down and out you can always come back stronger!
“Thank you to everyone who believed in me and gave me the chance.”
When he was on the first UK series of Love is Blind last year, Sam formed a connection with Nicole Stevens.
The pair connected in the pods, with their bond growing throughout – as Nicole found herself torn between Sam and Benaiah Grunewald-Bridey.
Beniah expressed to Nicole that he thought Sam was on the show to fine fame and not love.
Despite this, Sam popped the question to Nicole and she said yes.
However, Nicole broke things off when they got to Greece before rekindling things with Beniah, who proposed to her later on.
Sam was coined a producer plant, villain, “a walking red flag” and “cringe” – after accidentally saying he’s after the “best wife for his kids”.
He delivered one of TV’s most awkward scenes ever as he met fiancée Nicole for the first time after proposing to her through a wall, telling her she had “boring brown eyes” and “I think I love you” after putting the ring on the wrong hand.
The backlash left Sam feeling like he “didn’t want to be around anymore”.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun last year, Sam admitted: “The first few days…yeah, the first few days I questioned everything, and I fell into a very dark place, I have to be honest.
“I tried to be really brave and tell everyone I’m absolutely fine, but I spent a few days on my own in my flat, and just sort of locked myself in my room.
“I tried to just tell everyone ‘I’m fine. It’s going to be fine’, but then it got to Friday, and someone from production welfare called me, and I just broke down on the phone.
“I was like ‘I can’t do this anymore. I have to be honest, I’m struggling’.”
“I think in hindsight, I wish I did it on day one and I didn’t wait three days to do it,” he says of speaking out.
“But it’s tough because if I’d actually committed a crime, or hurt someone, I’d get it. I just felt a bit hard done by.”
