Past Relationships Of Sam Smith
Sam Smith had been romantically linked to ‘13 Reasons Why’ actor Brandon Flynn in the past. The pair separated in 2019. It was the pressure of Smith’s hectic schedule that led to the couple going their separate ways.
The ‘Fire On Fire’ singer admitted that their career has made it difficult for them to find and keep love. I feel like I sound so depressing all the time when I talk about it, but I get depressed on tour. “I think it’s the responsibility and pressure that makes me struggle,” they once opened up about the pressures of touring.
Prior to their relationship with Brandon, they had dated dancer and model Jonathan Ziezel. Smith also dated Charlie King in 2015 and model Jay Camilleri in 2016. They also dated British actor Andy Newton Lee in 2016.
