I am single: Sam Smith

London: Grammy-winner Sam Smith says he is "still very single" following his split from Jonathan Zeizel earlier this year as he is focusing on his relationships with friends and family.

The 23-year-old "Writing's On The Wall" hitmaker had a short-lived romance with the American dancer earlier this year but has now confessed he is not yet ready for a relationship, reported Female First.

"At the moment I'm trying to hang on to a relationship with me and my family and my friends. Once I've got into the routine of this life, which maybe I'm still trying to get into that cruise-control with, then I think maybe I can introduce a guy. I'm still very single," he said.

The singer also said he is glad he never had a real relationship before he found fame as he believes he would have missed the normality of it.

"I'm trying my best. There's different challenges. The blessing for me is that I didn't have a boyfriend before I got well known so I didn't know any different. If I'd been in a relationship before I got well known I think I'd be a bit more upset," Smith said.
