Is Sam Smith Married?

The pair had gone public with their newfound romance in December 2017. A source claimed the "Stay With Me" hitmaker and the "13 Reasons Why" star planned on getting hitched in Australia only weeks after same-sex marriage was legalized. However, the couple was not engaged at the time.
An insider revealed, "Sam thinks it's the perfect place to get married." Meanwhile, Smith had spoken candidly about their love life then, talking about their relationship with Flynn, and admitted for the first time that they believed they "deserved" happiness.

In September 2018, Smith revealed they rarely have time to date because of work obligations. They are constantly on tour almost every year, and during that period, they were single.
Their last relationship was with Flynn, whom they dated for eight months before parting ways. They spoke fondly about the actor and revealed:
"All my relationships have ended in a nice way, never nasty."
