Singer Sam Smith has officially announced his engagement to fashion designer Christian Cowan.

In an interview with The New York Times on the 28th (local time), Sam Smith revealed that Christian Cowan, whom he has been dating for three years, is his fiancé.

The couple was spotted together multiple times since their first date in 2022 but did not publicly acknowledge their relationship until May 2024. Although it was later reported that they became engaged privately last May, this marks the first time Sam Smith has directly confirmed the engagement.

Sam Smith also explained that the title of his upcoming album, "Hazel Eyes," set for release on August 21, was inspired by Christian Cowan's hazel-colored eyes. He added that the album, featuring a total of 12 tracks, includes numerous songs centered around their relationship.

In the interview, Sam Smith stated, "I believe that singing love songs as a queer person in this era and world is itself a radical act for me," adding, "The vitriol and hatred I read and witness will not allow me to change the way I love."
