A Portuguese getaway filled with sights and sweets
During their Portugal vacation, Samantha and Raj visited several popular landmarks, including the Basilica of Our Lady of the Rosary at the Sanctuary of Fátima,
Padrão dos Descobrimentos—also known as the Monument to the Discoveries—and the Arco da Rua Augusta. One picture shows Raj eyeing a generously sized chocolate-glazed donut, while another captures Samantha quietly admiring the cityscape.

Fans were quick to flood the comments section with affection and compliments. “What a cutie,” read one comment, while another fan wrote, “Finally she happy and her soul got safe place.” The post was widely shared, with followers expressing how happy they were to see Samantha enjoying a peaceful phase of life.
