Sam Smith disclosed that they were banned from online dating because apps did not believe their profiles were genuine.
The “Unholy” singer, who identifies as non-binary and uses “they/them” pronouns, revealed in a new interview that Tinder and Hinge canceled their accounts out of fear of impersonation.
Smith, 30, told ET Canada on Monday, “I never used Grindr.” “I used Tinder once; I believe I was kicked off Tinder.” I was removed from Hinge because they believed I was not myself.”
However, the Grammy winner said that they “didn’t verify” their profiles.
They remarked “I should have done that.”
However, Smith said that despite their hectic music careers, they have “always been able to date.”
If the “Stay With Me” singer were to return to online dating, the bio section of their page would be dedicated to their love for their dog Velma.
The dog was credited with teaching them how to love. “I truly believe that I did not love anyone outside of my family, friends, and other acquaintances. … She has taught me this very well.
By the way, I miss her terribly; I haven’t seen her in decades.
Smith is notoriously tight-lipped about their romantic life, but they were recently caught cuddling up to New York-based designer Christian Cowan.
Last week, the “Latch” star was caught walking arm-in-arm with Cowan and even gave him a head kiss.
They were first spotted together with President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris at the White House in December 2022 for the signing of the Respect for Marriage Act. It is unknown when their prospective romance began.
Recently, Smith disclosed to British GQ, “I’ve only had three relationships. All of them, without exception, were outstanding instructors.”
The musician explained that they do not require “another person to direct them to me” since “I direct them to myself.” Because I am self-aware. And it is lovely. Each and every relationship is unique. Every two individuals are unique. And I believe it is simply studying the same language together.”
