Pop star Sam Smith is enjoying the heights of the UK charts at the moment with his collaboration with Calvin Harris, 'Promises', but he's had a rocky road in his personal life this year, having split up from his partner of nine months, 13 Reasons Why's Brandon Flynn.

Now, the 26-year-old singer has opened up about his former relationship with Brandon in an interview with The Times. "I'm still trying to figure out what I took from that relationship and what it meant to me," the singer explained, "It's still quite raw."

It was back in October last year that Sam was first spotted kissing the 13 Reasons Why actor in public. The pair were snapped in New York, where Sam was due to appear on Saturday Night Live, walking arm in arm and enjoying lunch together in Greenwich Village.

However, less than a year later, sadly their relationship didn't last, but whilst many can be bitter after a relationship ends, Sam has nothing but good things to say about his former partner, describing him as "wonderful". He went on to explain how, "All my relationships have ended in a nice way, never nasty."

Brandon, who plays Justin Foley in the hit TV show, hinted a couple of weeks before their first public outing together that he counts himself as part of the LGBT community. Taking to Instagram he posted a rainbow flag with the words 'Equality' printed on it. Sam then commented on his photo with a simple 'x'.

At the time, the pair had not confirmed their romance, despite a number of strong hints on social media. However, in the following months the couple started to post photos on Instagram of each other and mention each other in their captions.

It's been reported that the pair split due to their busy schedules, back in June this year, however Sam didn't confirm or deny this in the interview.

Sam Smith is currently on tour in the US before moving on to Asia, meanwhile Brandon is set to star in the third series of 13 Reasons Why.
