“I’m now singing songs about another guy.” Sam Smith finally talks about boyfriend on Ellen

Sam Smith has finally confirmed he’s in a relationship.

Ahead of the release of his new album, The Thrill of It All, the star revealed all on – where else? – Ellen’s sofa.

It is widely believed Sam is dating 13 Reasons Why actor Brandon Flynn, although neither has named the other as their boyfriend on record.

When Ellen asked the Pray singer: “You’re not single right now anymore, right?”, he replied, “No, I’m not. Which is crazy. 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, so it’s quite weird.”

Sam made headlines over the weekend by revealing in a new interview that he feels “just as much woman as I man.”

He told The Sunday Times: “People don’t know this, but when I was 17, I remember becoming obsessed with Boy George and Marilyn. There was one moment in my life when I didn’t own a piece of male clothing, really.

“I would wear full make up every day at school – eyelashes, leggings, with Dr Martens and huge fur coats, for two and a half years.”

The star hinted at his gender-fluid identity earlier this year with a sweater bearing the slogan: Attitude of a Man, Essence of a Woman.
