New love on the horizon? Sam Smith is now looking for ‘The One’ on Tinder after failing to find love on the celebrity dating app, Raya, it was reported on Sunday 

A source said to The Sun: ‘Sam has been single for ages now and pals are keen to find someone. It’s hard enough to meet someone normally, but in the past year, because of the pandemic, Sam’s love life has suffered.

‘Friends are hoping they can find a regular person who isn’t bothered about Sam’s star power or anything like that.

‘On Tinder, a lot of people haven’t believed it really is Sam because it’s not every day you see a superstar on there. But all of the matches are being vetted by friends, who are sending ­profiles to Sam in the hope that one of them could be The One.’  

MailOnline have contacted Sam’s representatives for comment.

Sam was seen locking lips with French-born designer Francois Rocci last year.   

According their former love interest’s website, he graduated with a BA(hons) in Product and Furniture Design from Kingston University, London in 2016.

He also has a Masters in Design Product from the Royal College of Art, London which he obtained in 2018.  

The Diamonds hitmaker was previously linked to model Jay Camilleri in 2016 after a brief relationship with model Jonathan Zeizel in 2014.

They were also linked to former Hollyoaks actor Andy Newton-Lee, 39, back in 2016 after the pair were spotted sharing a kiss on a night out. 

That same year reports surfaced that Sam had hung out with former TOWIE star Charlie King, although they decided to keep their relationship platonic.   

The Grammy award-winning singer’s last serious relationship was with 13 Reasons Why actor, Brandon Flynn, in 2018, 

Back in April the star admitted they were freaked out about being single when the coronavirus lockdown started in the UK and revealed they immediately turned to dating apps when the restrictions were imposed.

Speaking on SiriusXM, the singer said: ‘For the first two weeks I was like “oh my God I’m single”. I went on this dating thing and it was the worst!

 ‘And then you get attached to guys, and then you’re forming quarantine relationships over the phone, it’s a dangerous path…’  

Sam previously admitted they were hit hard by the pain of the break-up from Brandon, 27, and said they felt at their lowest when touring.

Sam said: ‘Being on tour is a bit of a crazy experience, I get really low sometimes on tour.

‘I feel like I sound so depressing all the time when I talk about it, but I get depressed on tour. I think it’s the responsibly and pressure that makes me struggle.’  

The Promises hitmaker also confessed that they hated seeing couples being romantic with one another, and often became jealous of other people’s relationships.

Sam admitted: ‘I’ve just gone through a break-up so I’m not in the mood for romance.

‘When I see couples I just want to poke their eyes. It’s hard to be happy for other people when you feel so s**t.’
