A source told The Sun that Smith is heartbroken, adding that the two split due to busy careers and differing schedules:
“Sam and Brandon had a real whirlwind romance. They really fell for each other. But they are both so busy with their careers and unfortunately things just haven’t worked out,” the source revealed. “Sam is obviously devastated. This is the most significant relationship he has ever had.”
In January, Smith discussed his relationship and the joy it brought him, even considering writing “happy love songs.”
“I’m in a relationship right now and for the first time, I think I deserve to be happy,” Smith said. “I’m actually asking myself if I’m going to be writing some happy love songs soon.”
Fans have shared their devastation via Twitter.
