Sam Smith is rumoured to be dating a former Brexit campaign worker named Shahmir Sanni – who made headlines after becoming a whistleblower from within the Vote Leave campaign.
The 28-year-old chart topping star is said to be in the fledgling stage of a blossoming romance with the political campaigner – despite being at opposite ends of the political spectrum.
Sam has been a champion of equal rights – and a poster person for the gender non conforming community after coming out as non-binary in March last year.
While Eurosceptic political activist Shahmir, 26, worked for the Vote Leave campaign during the 2016 EU referendum.
The Mail on Sunday claims the duo are becoming an unlikely couple, have been out for a string of dates, and were spotted enjoying drinks together at a Soho bar earlier this month.
A friend of the singer whispered to the publication: “They are having a great time.
“No one thought Sam would strike up such a friendship with a Brexiteer, but they just clicked.
“They move in the same circle of friends, have been on dates together, and have also been seen kissing.”
A spokesperson for the star has dismissed the rumours of a romance and claimed news of Sam dating Shahmir is "false".
Shahmir made headlines two years ago when he became a whistleblower accusing Vote Leave of misspending campaign money and declaring the referendum was won illegally.
His personal life was dragged into the spotlight after his former boyfriend Stephen Parkinson, who had been Prime Minister Theresa May ’s political secretary, outed him to the press.
Sam has been linked to a number of his profile men over the years – most recently linked to 13 Reasons Why actor Brandon Flynn.
Sam and Brandon split last year, but The Lonely Hour star has previously been linked to TOWIE star Charlie King and model Jonathon Ziezel over the years.
Meanwhile, the singer is said to be gearing up to release their third studio album – but the planed 2020 release has been paused amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
