Sam Ryder’s Wife: The Singer Has Been in a Long-Term Relationship with Lois Gaskin-Barber
While it's unclear whether or not Sam Ryder has a wife, the singer has been in a loving relationship with Lois Gaskin-Barber for over ten years. The couple appeared to have gotten married in Instagram pictures, but they are yet to set the record straight on their relationship status.
Sam Ryder has become a fan-favorite following his nearly 15-year-long career in the music industry and fame on social media. He has been off the market for over a decade, as Lois Gaskin-Barber has been the singer's girlfriend for twelve years.
The couple has yet to share if they have tied the knot. However, they were certainly dressed for a wedding in an Instagram post featuring Lois Gaskin-Barber in a white lace dress and a bouquet.

Lois Gaskin-Barber and Sam Ryder Have Been in Each Other's Lives since They Were Teenagers
In honor of Ryder's birthday in June 2021, Gaskin-Barber took to Instagram to share a picture of her and the singer wearing beaming smiles, revealing that she has known "the most wonderful man this side of the cosmos" for many years. Gaskin-Barber captioned the post in part:
"[...] I've spent my entire adult life by your side seeing in birthdays from our teens to our 30s, and they just keep getting better [...]."
While it remains unclear whether or not Ryder and Gaskin-Barber are officially husband and wife, the latter celebrated their 10th anniversary in 2021. In the photo dump of "cherished shots" from people they love capturing their love, Gaskin-Barber donned a lacy white dress and held a bouquet, while Ryder wore a suit, sounding wedding bells.
The same picture of the couple embracing seemingly during a ceremony appeared in another Instagram post commemorating their anniversary in 2022. "Recently celebrated 11 years of big belly laughs and love together, yay," the caption partly read.
Lois Gaskin-Barber and Sam Ryder Are Not Only Dating but Business Partners
In 2017, Ryder turned to Facebook to reveal that his absence from the internet had been because he and Gaskin-Barber had opened a café. Ryder added:
"[...] Sooo between making salads (and watering my beloved plants) there hasn't been much time for updates but every day we're finding our groove a little more [...]."
According to reports, the singer and his girlfriend also opened a juice bar, the Lone Wolves Organic, in Coggeshall, Essex, England, in 2017, but it closed two years later.
However, Ryder's girlfriend has seemingly continued the Lone Wolves brand as she runs a handmade jewelry business, Lone Wolves Creative, and often showcases her pieces on Instagram.

Unlike His Girlfriend, Sam Ryder Does Not Share Much about His Private Life on Instagram
Ryder's career in the music industry as a singer and guitarist dates back to 2009. However, he shot to fame on TikTok and launched a solo career after signing with the record label Parlophone in 2021.
Since making a name for himself as an artist — and sharing the stage with stars such as Rita Wilson — Ryder had amassed over four million followers on social media at the time of writing. But, despite his large social media following and growing fan base, he has kept aspects of his life, including his love life, private.
However, fans have been able to keep up with his and Gaskin-Barber's relationship on her Instagram account, which regularly captures the couple's romance. In April 2022, she posted a picture of her and Ryder hugging and revealed they were "best pals."
In June 2022, Gaskin-Barber posted a photo on Ryder's back and shared she had taken a hiatus from posting to celebrate her "angel," followed by a post of the pair at the beach in Bournemouth, England.
Earlier this year, Gaskin-Barber joined Ryder on tour and documented her experience on Instagram, and in a heartfelt post in January, Ryder's girlfriend shared:
"As 2022 began, I was so daunted by what we knew was coming on our journey that I cried almost every day[...]."
However, the couple's journey was a positive experience and a "beautiful milestone," Gaskin-Barber documented in a series of images in April. Ryder's girlfriend recently captioned a photo dump of the couple in Liverpool, England, "Infinitely, boundlessly, immeasurably thankful."
