Fashion designer Christian looked as stylish as ever in an oversized blazer and black sweater.

The couple, who were first linked in January, were joined by event organizer Susanne Bartsch as they posed for a photo.

Prior to their relationship with Christian, the Stay With Me singer had a high-profile romance with 13 Reasons Why actor Brandon Flynn.

Sam has also been romantically linked to British reality TV star Charlie King and soap star Andy Newton Lee.

Despite their high-profile romances, Sam prefers to keep their love life out of the public eye.

‘I’ve never really followed the rules. I love people and whoever I fall for, that’s who I fall for. I don’t know who that’s going to be,” Sam said The sun.

“Now I don’t know what gender they’ll be, to be honest, and that’s liberating – not to be limited to one category of people. I just fall in love with whoever I fall in love with.”

Sam has also been romantically linked to Francois Rocci, Jonathon Zeizel and Jay Camilleri and has spoken about how their relationships have influenced their music.

Speak with The sunthey said: ‘A queer person’s first relationship is sometimes a big thing, because that’s where you discover the most about yourself.

“And so (the Love Goes album is) more about me and my journey after that really. But yeah, it’s basically a break-up album.

“In general, I’ve never really thought about people, any human beings, in rigid terms. I grew up in a family where the balance of power between the genders and all these things had completely shifted.”

They explained: ‘My mother worked, my father was a househusband. My sisters are incredibly strong women.’
