In 2017, a relationship doesn't mean squat unless it's on Insta.

We had Bebo love, we had Facebook's 'in a relationship with' but the only way to tell the world how in love you and your other half are these days is with a solid couple pic on the gram. Sam Smith's new boyfriend Brandon Flynn is in on this and has just made their relationship social media official. He shared a photo of himself and Sam (wearing adorable matching unicorn hooded neck pillows that we really want to get our hands on) on his page last night. We knew about the pair of them already but it's fab that we finally have a cute couple selfie to swoon over. Brandon himself alluded to how quiet he and Sam have been about their relationship with his caption - "Rare sighting in London." He also shared a snap of Sam looking festive on his story with a love heart emoji. Bless. Sam and the 13 Reasons Why actor have been dating for several months but it was only revealed that they were dating back in October when pictures of the pair kissing on the street in New York emerged.   Sam's opened up a little about being in love, saying Brandon's job means they understand one another. "Right now what I’m experiencing is very early days, but it’s nice to be with someone who kind of gets it. "My job has got in the way of my relationships in the past because it’s just hard to relate to, and people don’t want to be a part of what I’ve got going on in my life."
