Paparazzi caught Sam Smith planting a tender kiss on the head of New York-based fashion designer Christian Cowan this week. The couple were spotted walking arm in arm on the street in NYC, further fuelling rumors the couple are dating.

Smith wore jeans, a yellow shirt and a matching yellow blazer with furry cuffs. The British singer is in the Big Apple preparing for a high-profile performance this weekend on Saturday Night Live.
Cowan, 25, has created outfits for Jennifer Lopez, Lady Gaga, Cardi B, Lil Nas X and SNL’s Chloe Fineman, among others.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
According to Page Six, Cowan also accompanied Smith when they got a new tattoo recently.
Smith enjoyed vacation time in Thailand and New South Wales over the holidays. An artist from Australia’s Markd Tattoos’ yesterday posted an image of Smith visiting to get new inkwork. Cowan was also with Smith.
“At first I didn’t believe it when I got an email saying that Sam Smith would like a tattoo from me,” said the tattooist. “Even on the day I thought it was just a hoax… One of my proudest moments as a tattoo artist!”

Cowan also accompanied Smith to the White House in December. Smith was performing to mark the occasion of President Biden singing the Respect For Marriage Act.
The singer posted a photo standing alongside Cowan, Biden and First Lady Dr. Jill Biden, and Vice President Kamala Harris and First Gentleman, Doug Emhoff.

Smith enjoyed the biggest hit of their career with last year’s duet with Kim Petras, ‘Unholy’. Last week, the nonbinary singer dropped a new track, ‘Gimme’, with Koffee and Jessie Reyez.
Check it out below.
Smith’s new album, Gloria, is out on January 27. They have announced extensive tour dates across the US and Europe.

That song is truly annoying headache material. I’m glad tho, that he’s appearing on SNL. I want to see that. Tho hopefully they make him keep his clothes on.
Kangol2
Get it, Mx. Thang!

It seems I’m alone here on Queerty, but I loved “Gimme” the second I heard it!
Also, I appreciate that the hyper-masculine, hairy-chested muscular body is considered desirable by a very visible percentage of the population. But there are other body types that people find desirable as well!
Baldies, bears, bikers, body builders, chubbies, clubbers, cross-dressers, dad-bods, drag queens, farmers, footballers, geeks, hairy, labourers, leather men, married men, medical, military, muscle men, older guys, otters, pencil-thins, preppies, punks, rugby players, short guys, skins, smooth, swimmers, tall guys, tattoo-ies, transgenders, twinks – to name just a few!
There exists a significant and enthusiastic audience for softer, rounder, curvier, hairless bodies: aka Chubby Chasers! Many Chubby Chasers are quite fit themselves, but do not find the hard, muscular, masculine body-type exciting. They’re more “opposites attract” and fall into the range that prefers a more vulnerable, “femme” body. I say, more power to our Sammie, who’s workin’ that street at the moment!

I had sex with this body builder extreme once and talk about hard muscles. They were too hard. I felt like I was hugging a sack of potatoes. Yes all shapes and sizes Bachy for sure.

I guess Sam is eating again. Good for him, we need more full-figured singers.

nobody cares.
LumpyPillows
Yes, but what are nobody’s pronouns?
Kangol2
You cared enough to post. Again.
LumpyPillows
I must say, Sam sure seems to have the tiger by the tail these days. Good for Sam.

So Mx. Smith is gay after all but just too ashamed to “identify” as one?
Progress, I guess.
Kangol2
I think they consider themself/theirself nonbinary, so “gay” doesn’t exactly apply, though they appear to be attracted to and now dating a cis gay man.
Diplomat
All indication is he is gay, male for male, or to clarify, dik4dik. He’s never dated women as far as I know, which would leave bi out of the picture.
Dixie Rect
I thought he was an obese woman now? It’s all so confusing.
Diplomat
He’s a good male singer. Facts are the relevant terms in this case. Gender dysphoria is his confusion, not to be confusing or attached to the general public.
BLAKENOW
hahah The shade is real in the comments about Miss/Mr/They/He/Who Smith and I love it.

It’s the little things….
LumpyPillows
Well pronouns are nonsense, but Sam is pretty cool anyway.

”The couple were spotted walking arm in arm on the street in NYC”……
It’s called a sidewalk in NYC, the pavement in the UK. It’s amazing how this person seems to get under y’alls skin and causes a rash. I hope you can sleep at night knowing Sam might be having a good time.
Full disclosure…………I’ve never heard a note of his music, nor do I care to because Bach and Chopin are calling me, but it’s revealing how imature you all become whenever his name comes up.
inbama
So gays aren’t allowed to be bitchy anymore?
Dang, you queers are such control freaks.
And if you’re going to use a word like “immature,” you should learn how to spell it.
abfab
At least you have time to pay attention to typos. Save it Bama.
Diplomat
Now now. It’s not complete without Mozart.

Going to the White House dressed like that. Uh, uh, qweeeen!
abfab
Tell us who you wear when you’re invited to a WH soiree…….

His boyfriend looked nice. I don’t mind the goofy handbag as much as the open-necked shirt and cheap necklace. Aside from his questionable fashion sense – it really is never that good – the real point is that Sam and his boyfriend were in the White House and photographed with the most powerful people in the world. That’s a win.

Listening to Gimme now after listening to Unholy. Glad to see they’re not just repeating the same thing again again. I can get lost in their version of I Feel Love. The voice is flawless.
