Sam Smith has dated a handful of famous men before and he has been really been opened about his romantic partners in the past.

Sam Smith has never been shy about discussing their love life, or lack thereof, in the past. In a 2014 interview with FaderSam revealed that their debut album, In the Lonely Hour, was almost wholly inspired by one of the many unrequited relationships with other men of which they’ve been a part.

In fact, Sam even told this man that the album was about him. While he still didn’t reciprocate their feelings, it still gave them a bit of closure.

“I feel almost like I signed off this part of my life where I keep giving myself to guys who are never going to love me back,” they told Fader in 2014. “It’s all there now and I can move on and hopefully find a guy who can love me the way I love him.”

Sam would finally get a shot at love during that same year, having fallen into a romantic relationship with male model Jonathan Zeizel. Unfortunately, they would later confirm their breakup in early 2015 during a concert in Toronto.

While their relationship was short-lived, Sam’s second public relationship became a little more serious. In 2017, Sam revealed that they were in a relationship with actor Brandon Flynn (13 Reasons Why, Hellraiser). Their reported “whirlwind romance” lasted nine months before they split.

An unnamed source told The Sun in June 2018 that despite the fact the two had fallen deeply for each other, “they [were] both so busy with their careers, and unfortunately, things just haven’t worked out.” Brandon never publicly addressed their breakup, but in September 2018, Sam told The Times U.K. that, “Brandon was wonderful. I’m still trying to figure out what I took from that relationship and what it meant to me. It’s still quite raw. All my relationships have ended in a nice way, never nasty.”

Sam Smith is rumoured to have hooked up with Daisy Lowe (2014), Charlie King (2015), Andy Newton Lee (2016), and Jay Camilleri (2016), per J-14.
