Sam Smith is engaged to fashion designer Christian Cowan. The 34-year-old singer, known for hits like 'Stay With Me', 'Unholy' and 'Promises', has been in a relationship with the 32-year-old designer for a little over two years. They made their public debut together at the Met Gala in 2024.
Engagement Revealed
The Grammy Award-winning star initially shared the news with the New York Times during a new interview, describing Christian specifically as 'fiancé' for the first time. Sam also explained that the title of the new album 'Hazel Eyes' was inspired by Christian's eye colour.
Living Anonymously
Sam recently addressed the idea of being able to live anonymously as a couple despite their joint fame. Sam said: 'I think you can. I do. I always feel like I’m left alone, and then if anyone comes up to me, they’re normally very complimentary, which is fabulous for my ego, instead of like, “Who the f*** is that?” But it’s, but it’s good. It’s the only city in the world if I wear a miniskirt, I get wolf whistled. I had a guy like bang my ass once and be like, “Fancy a kiss?”'
New Album 'Hazel Eyes'
At the time, Sam was making an appearance on the Dish podcast and also teased more about 'Hazel Eyes', which is due out in August. Sam said: 'It’s a very romantic album, and very, just kind of proud in the romance. You know, I like flowery- beautiful things, so I’ve leaned into that and I’m just very proud of it. I love it.'
Missing British Classics
Despite enjoying life in the US, fish and chips is the one thing Sam misses and often craves the British classic whilst living so far away. Sam added: 'It’s actually one of the disasters of my life right now. It’s like I actually get sad sometimes. Apparently, it’s something to do with the potato, I got told, and the water in New York and you can’t get it the same. But I have a thing with fish and chips, right? So, I love fish and chips from fish and chip shops where like the chips like stick together. And you’ve got like the silver hot plate when you walk in. But I feel like the gastropub fish and chips, um, like I call them posh fish and chips, I don’t see that as fish and chips. And like even in London, I find it hard to find like proper fish and chips. Like my family from Whitley Bay, my favourite fish and chip shop is called Marshall’s there- which is amazing. And but yeah, I just. When people talk about fish and chips, they’re not talking about the same fish and chips I am.'
