Sam Smith Is Engaged to Christian Cowan and Named Their Album After His Eye Color

Sam Smith just made our entire week. The Grammy-winning singer confirmed their engagement to fashion designer Christian Cowan in a New York Times interview published on July 28. The couple, who started dating in December 2022 and made their red carpet debut at the 2024 Met Gala, are now planning a wedding. And the romantic details do not stop there.

Sam’s upcoming album is titled‘Hazel Eyes’as a direct tribute to the color of Christian’s eyes. The first track,‘Everlasting Love’, marks a major milestone for the artist. It is their first song about requited love. Sam told the Times,“For me, there’s something radical about being queer in this time, in this world, and singing love songs.”Christian, who designed Sam’s Met Gala looks for 2024 and 2025, clearly has a huge influence on both their style and their art.

This is such a feel-good moment in pop culture. A major artist finding real, reciprocated love and pouring it into their music is something we can all get behind. What do you think is the most romantic gesture in this whole story? The album name, the Met Gala looks, or the fact that this is Sam’s first love song that actually gets a happy ending? Let us know in the comments.
