Thursday, May 7, 2026 - Sam Smith and his boyfriend of more than three years, fashion designer Christian Cowan, are engaged.
The couple, who attended the 2026 Met
Gala together on Monday, May 4, were overheard talking about their
engagement at the Mark Hotel before walking the red carpet, Page Six
reports.
“From what I understand, it was a private engagement,” a
hotel lobby spy told the publication.
“They are over the moon, and from what I hear, so in
love!”
Smith — who identifies as non-binary and uses
“they/them” pronouns — later posted about the duo’s outfits on
Instagram.
Quoting Cowan, Smith captioned the carousel, “I have always
loved Erté. I love the way he brought costume art to the world through his
visionary illustrations.
“The infamous 1920s opulence and craft. 255,000 individual
crystals and beads. 2,000 hours of artisanal hand sewing. This look is a love
letter to the king of fashion illustration, and to my love, Sam.”
The Grammy-winning singer, 33, and Cowan, 32, were
first linked in December 2022 when they watched then-President Joe Biden
sign into law the Respect for Marriage Act (RMA) at the White House.
The RMA, which repealed the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act
(DOMA), ensures federal recognition of same-s£x and interracial
marriages.
Smith and Cowan — who are both UK natives — have since been
photographed engaging in PDA in New York City, accompanying each
other to tattoo appointments and attending numerous runway shows.
