Singer Sam Smith and fashion designer Christian Cowan are engaged. The artist, known for their soulful, heartbreaking ballads such as “Too Good at Goodbyes” and “I Know I’m Not The Only One,” confirmed their engagement to The New York Times on Tuesday. “For me, there’s something radical about being queer in this time, in this world, singing love songs,” the 34-year-old non-binary singer said in an interview with the outlet. Smith came out as non-binary in 2019. “I think I float somewhere in between,” they said to Vanity Fair when discussing their gender identity. The new fiancées have been dating for three years and were overheard discussing their engagement at the 2026 Met Gala in New York City in May. The fashion designer, 32, created both looks worn by the couple at the event. “From what I understand, it was a private engagement,” an insider said to Page Six, reported shortly after the A-lister event. “They are over the moon, and from what I hear, so in love!”
