Grammy winner Sam Smith has confirmed that he is in fact loved up and happy in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres.
The singer and 13 Reasons Why actor Brandon Flynn were spotted locking lips on the streets of New York City last month – and now Sam has finally confirmed their romance.
Probing for information on Sam’s new relationship, Ellen cut to the chase by asking if he was still single, and 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.”
During the interview, Sam also took the opportunity to speak about his controversial acceptance speech for Best Original Song at the Academy Awards in 2016.
“It all started with a hip flask basically, of tequila. I forgot to say Best Male Actor. I basically said that I was the first gay person to ever win an Oscar.”
“I obviously know I’m not. Afterward I saw Elton John at the after-party and he was like, ‘I’ve won an Oscar.'”
Sam also admitted that his decision to take some time out of the spotlight afterwards was due to him missing his family.
“It all got a bit too much. After the Oscar I just really needed to hug my mom and just be with my sisters and go back home. A lot of mom snuggles.”
The time out obviously did him some good as his first single off his second studio album Too Good at Goodbyes has already hit number 3 on the official music charts.
The Thrill of it All will be released November 3rd 2017.
