In September it was first reported that Jay, who hails from Melbourne, had moved into the Home And Away actress' townhouse in Sydney's inner west.
According to the report, Sam has insisted the pair are 'just friends', however pals of the pair say 'their relationship has taken a romantic turn during lockdown'.
Sam confirmed she was single in July during an appearance on Nova's Fitzy And Wippa, in which she joked about looking for an attractive male celebrity to join her 'singles bubble during lockdown'.

Her previous relationship was with Dave Bashford.
Meanwhile, Jay split from international model Leah Johnsen in late 2019.
The news comes after Sam confirmed she would be temporarily written off Home and Away while she waited to get fully vaccinated against Covid-19.
It follows a remarkable backdown from the reality TV star after initially maintaining she would not be getting the jab.
The saga began when Sam shared a video to Instagram last month in which she tearfully admitted she was unvaccinated and was struggling with her mental health due to other people judging her.
She said: 'I was really hesitant about doing a video or even speaking up about this sort of thing, but I feel like it's getting to a point now in the world where there's a lot of segregation.'

Her video caused a great deal of controversy, mainly because of her use of the word 'segregation' when referring to the way society 'judges' unvaccinated people.
Channel Seven last month announced a vaccine mandate across all shows.
The network said it 'will only engage fully vaccinated presenters, cast and crew' from January 10, meaning Sam was essentially told: 'Get the jab or face the sack.'
She confirmed on Tuesday she will be fully vaccinated by late February - about seven weeks after the vaccine mandate comes into effect.
Her character, nurse Jasmine Delaney, will be 'written out temporarily' until she's double vaxxed.
