"I've never really kind of played by the rule book," they said about dating. "I love people, and whoever I fall for, that's who I fall for. I don't know who that's going to be." According to the "Stay with Me" singer, their first relationship was significant in learning more about them.

One of Smith's most public relationships was with "13 Reasons Why" star Brandon Flynn but they have also been linked to Charlie King, Jonathon Zeizel, Andy Newton Lee, and Francois Rocci.

"Hopefully, I'll find a boyfriend – but they're absolutely nowhere to be found anywhere in London. I've been searching all over the place. Honestly, I've been on the frontline now for a good three years, and it's exhausting."

In the same year, Smith came out as non-binary and claimed they were open to dating any gender. Smith's coming out received praise from many who applauded their bravery.

Sam and Charlie King's Brief Relationship

Smith also had a brief relationship with King in 2015 after meeting online. The pair don't share the same circle of friends, so getting to know each other was something incredible.

Rather than being open with their relationship, Smith and King kept their dates a secret and usually hung out in the less popular pubs in London or at home. Unfortunately, their busy schedules did not allow them to see each other as often, and eventually, they broke up.

It is unknown whether the pair went separate ways amicably, as they had an awkward run-in soon after. During an event, Smith failed to acknowledge their ex and went straight to their dressing room area.

During an interview, they regretted posting their photos on Instagram and making them appear more serious than it actually was. As for the reason for their split, Smith claims they simply did not mesh well together. No one was heartbroken heavily.

Smith is not the only non-binary celebrity who has been outspoken about their preferences. Previously, "Our Flag Means Death" star Vico Ortiz also came out as non-binary.
