It was the romance of last year's X Factor, but Tamera Foster has split with Sam Callahan to focus on her career - according to The Sun.
It's being reported that Tamera was forced to distance herself from Sam in order to launch her career as the British Rihanna. But encouragement or not, a source has claimed that the pair split because of differing career aspirations: 'Tamera had strong feelings for Sam, but she is also very ambitious. It wasn't her intention to hurt him, but she knew it was time to move on. Sam is moving on with his career and is still very ambitious so it just wasn't going to work'.
Since Tamera got signed by Simon Cowell's label Syco in March, she has apparently been warned off Sam as well as being too busy working on her sound to maintain a proper relationship. 'SO GUYS I HAVE NEWSSS. I'm The Newest member of syco music!! GET THAT WORKK! IM SO BLESSED TO HAVE MY DREAM JOB AT THE AGE OF 17, Thank God Always (sic)', the singer wrote on Twitter when she got the deal. Just last week, she tweeted about her upcoming new music, giving fans a teaser: 'messege to all of my fans ! Thank you for being so patient, I'm taking my time so I can give you the best ! I won't let you down. 2015. 1(love)'
Could she be the British Rihanna that Simon is hoping for?
