Ella is rumored to be dating Sam Hine, GQ's senior associate editor, in New York City. Sam Hine was born on August, 26, 1993, which means he is seven years older than Ella Emhoff. On Friday, May 14, he shared a picture on Instagram of the second daughter in a long, pleated black skirt, white button-down, black blazer, and black tie, accessorized with black loafers. Another photo shows her riding in a car in her chic outfit and sunglasses.
Who is Sam Hine?
Sam Hine grew up in Chicago, but moved to New York to pursue a career in fashion. "I got an internship with Antonio Ciongoli when he was creative director of Eidos," he previously told Grailed. "I got paid in clothes and spent the summer soaking up as much about how the industry works as possible."
Some of his past work includes a profile on Henry Golding, a guide to the best menswear stores in Los Angeles, and an interview with John Mayer, "He was just so down to talk about fashion minutia and underground bootleg T-shirt brands and stuff like that," Sam told Grailed.
"John nerds out about all of it as much as we do at GQ. He told me how obsessed he was with a random Instagram story where Virgil [Abloh] laid down the perfect spray paint ombre on a pair of sunglasses. He's in so deep."
Back in March, Sam and Ella were photographed cozying up as they walked around the West Village, which further fueled dating speculation about the two. While neither publicly confirmed their relationship, the couple looked stylish, dressed to the nines. It's unclear when the pair first met.
However, there are rumors that a potential romance started after they were seen dining outdoors together at a New York restaurant in February, according to Artnet News. The second daughter recently made her modeling debut at Proenza Schouler's fall 2021.
"I was pretty surprised when everything with IMG was happening because when I was younger, I never saw that as being part of my timeline," she told The New York Times. "As someone who, like a lot of young girls out there, had self-confidence issues, it is intimidating and scary to go into this world that is hyper-focused on you and the body."
