Fact Check: Sam Smith Has Not Claimed To Be "Self-Partnered"
Satire content was falsely promoted as fact.
Claim:
“Sam Smith has clarified that he is SELF-PARTNERED which means that they is not single but he is actually in a relationship with themselves.”
Rating:
Satire.
An 𝕏 post (archived) sharing the claim said, "Did I just have a stroke."
This rumor originally circulated in November 2024 with a similar Facebook post (archived) that some readers seemed to interpret as the truth.
However, there was no evidence that Sam Smith has self-declared as “self-partnered.” No credible news outlets (archived) have reported on this alleged declaration.
The rumor originated with a Facebook post (archived) by Wakefield News - a page (archived) that lists itself as “Satire/Parody.”
24 minutes after the Wakefield News post, British Feed repeated the story in its own Facebook post (archived).
