Sam Smith is hunting for an older man to love, here is a look at the singer's past relationships
Crowd favorite English singer and songwriter Sam Smith, aka Samuel Frederick Smith, quickly rose to prominence because of their (the singer prefers to be referred to as they, them and their) talent, and well, relationships. Now, the 27-year-old singer has revealed that they are in search of an older man to love after "freaking out" about being single during the quarantine lockdown. Sam has now turned to Raya, an exclusive celebrity dating app.
"For the first two weeks I was like: Oh my God I'm single'. I went on this dating thing and it was the worst! Then you get attached to guys, and then you're forming quarantine relationships over the phone, it's a dangerous path," said Sam. "I think I want to be with someone older now. I need someone who has passions and has their own drive. It's nice to be able to date on your phone. I haven't done it in years – I just want the romance."
Sam has a few men in their past that have brought them great music but a lot of hurt, with their recent one being '13 Reasons Why' star Brandon Flynn. Sam is currently single after having deleted all traces of Flynn off their Instagram account in July 2019 - the couple split in 2018. Here's a rundown of Sam's relationship's past, well the ones we know about:
Jonathan Zeizel (#Samathan)
After Sam had gone public about their sexuality, they dated Jonathan Zeizel, whom they met during the filming of 'Like I can' where Zeizel was an extra. In October 2014, the duo took to Instagram to confirm their relationship, but that only lasted for two months. In Toronto, right before singing, 'Good Thing,' a breakup song, during a performance, Sam said, “This song is very special to me today, as I’ve actually had to do a very similar thing with someone I’ve been seeing."
Charlie King
This one was a tad bit confusing as tabloids ran with the fact that King and Sam were spending time at "top-secret locations" and Sam's flat. Apparently, King had connected Sam almost a dozen times with tweets but both denied that they were a couple in August 2015. However, at the 'V Festival' after a so-called awkward moment between the two, King said the duo had been seeing each other for six months.
Jay Camilleri
After the media reported that Jay Camilleri and Sam were together, the former opened up to 'The Mirror' about the duo's dates and how Sam was going to help Camilleri start a charity for men suffering from eating disorders. Nothing was ever confirmed by Sam.
Brandon Flynn
The couple was definitely #goals, and Sam told 'The Mirror,' "It's weird bringing out an album and not being single because when I brought out In The Lonely Hour, I was so lonely. But now I'm singing songs about another guy, I'm quite happy." The duo ended up calling it quits in 2018 which seemed to have affected Sam quite negatively. "I feel like I sound so depressing all the time when I talk about it, but I get depressed on tour. I've just gone through a break-up so I'm not in the mood for romance," they had said at the time. "When I see couples I just want to poke their eyes. It's hard to be happy for other people when you feel so s**t."
