Is there something in the air? The gays keep breaking up! This time it’s Sam Smith, the Grammy Award-winning pop singer, and his boyfriend of nine months, Brandon Flynn, an actor from Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why.
According to The Sun, the pair split because of their busy careers. A source close to Smith told The Sun, “Sam is obviously devastated. This is the most significant relationship he has ever had. Thankfully he is on tour across the US at the moment which has been a welcome distraction.”

The pair originally got together back in December, when they posted about their relationship on Instagram and were met with a lot of positivity. They went to the Grammys together, Smith met Flynn’s family, it was a whole big gay thing. Now that it’s over, some fans are very disappointed. It’s been a big couple of months for gay breakups. Who could possibly be next?
