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

‘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.
The representative did not respond to previous requests for comment from Daily Mail Australia several weeks ago, fueling speculation the couple have split.

Home and Away actress Sam and navy diver Dave started dating in July 2017.
They were last seen out in public together on September 21 at the Colgate Optic White Stakes Day together in Randwick, Sydney.
Sam and Dave appeared to spend New Year’s alone, with the former Bachelorette enjoying a girls’ trip to New Zealand with her best friend, Laura French.
Last year, their romance hit the headlines after Dave pleaded guilty to the charge of possessing 0.4 grams of cocaine in May.

The 27-year-old was busted at the Beach Road Hotel in Sydney’s Bondi on May 4, during a covert police drug operation.
Dave pleaded guilty to the charge at Waverley Local Court in Sydney on June 4, and on June 25 faced Magistrate Michael Compton after writing a letter expressing his ‘remorse and insight’ at the charges.
The court heard how Dave’s ‘actions have impacted himself, but also on his family and particularly his partner’.
Magistrate Michael Compton handed Dave a 12 month good behaviour bond and conditional release.

Referring to the intense public scrutiny Dave came under, Sam said at the time: ‘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.
‘But it was something that happened and now it’s public because of me.’
Sam said that having defended and protected our country for over 10 years as a navy clearance diver, Dave shouldn’t be under such intense public glare.
‘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 said.
