The “Unholy” singer, who is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns, revealed that they were banned from some online dating apps because both Tinder and Hinge believed the account belonged to a catfish impersonating Smith. I got chucked off of Hinge because they thought that I wasn’t me.” Smith admitted, “Well, I didn’t verify my profile, so I should have done that.” While the “Stay With Me” performer revealed they’re no longer on dating apps, Smith noted that they’ve “always been able to date” despite their busy schedule. I miss her loads by the way, I haven’t seen her in ages.” In October 2022, Smith revealed to British GQ that they’ve become more “open” to “romantic attention” as they’ve grown in confidence.
