Inside Adam Lambert's Low-Key Love Life

Posted by Almeda Bohannan on Wednesday, May 8, 2024

Adam Lambert and Sam Smith: are they or aren't they? The rumors started in 2016, when the singers were often spotted together, however, Lambert didn't take long to shut that right down. "I love that rumor, actually. The minute I heard it, I texted him and said, 'So?'" Lambert said on Watch What Happens Live," in 2017, adding, "He's such a nice guy, he's so funny, but no." Lambert did admit that the friends have done "a lot of bonding," dishing that he and Smith "did ride a rickshaw in London from one club to another, wasted, at like 3 in the morning."

That bond was tested after Smith caught flack for seemingly throwing shade at Michael Jackson. In a since-deleted Instagram post by Lambert, an inebriated Smith was heard saying, "I don't like Michael Jackson, but ['Human Nature'] is a good song." Naturally, the internet melted down, but Lambert was quick to explain.

Speaking with People, Lambert said that after a day boating and champagne, all he wanted to do was "post a picture of [his] new Gucci sunglasses." Instead, he posted a video of himself in the shades that included Smith's comment, which "[didn't] sound right out of context," as "it was a sliver of a fuller conversation that was actually quite interesting." Lambert of course extended an apology to the British crooner and their friendship is just fine.
