Sam Fender is one of the UK’s biggest emerging talents. The 30-year-old has already racked up three number one albums and has scored three top 10 hits. Currently on a huge stadium tour, he will play three sold out nights at his hometown of Newcastle’s St. James’ Park in June.
And fans who are going to see the Seventeen Going Under hitmaker live this summer may spot a familiar face in the crowd as it has been reported that Sam has been dating actress Rosa Collier since 2023.
Who is Sam Fender’s girlfriend?
Sam Fender is reportedly dating actress Rosa Collier. The pair are said to have met in 2022 when Rosa was studying at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and started dating for a few months before taking a temporary break.
A source told The Sun ‘things became way more serious in 2023’ and that Sam ‘is very much in love with Rosa.’
They added, ‘They’ve travelled quite a bit together and recently they went on a romantic holiday to the Maldives.
‘They seem serious. She knows Sam’s family and band well and is on tour with him now. If his fans look closely, they’ll see her cheering from the crowd. Rosa is always front and centre, supporting her man.’
Sam has not shared any snaps of Rosa on his social media, but he was seen in an Instagram story uploaded by Rosa. She recently posted a cone of chips in Amsterdam, when Sam was on tour at the time.
Who else has Sam Fender dated?
Sam has never publicly confirmed who he is dating but he has been linked to other stars since shooting to fame with his debut album in 2019.
In early 2022, he was linked to fellow British singer Raye after they were seen attending a Brits afterparty together.
A source said at the time, ‘Sam and Raye met each other on the music scene and get on really well. It's very early days but they've spent a lot of time together over the past few weeks and have been on a string of low-key, secret dates.’
Later that year, it was reported he was dating Anatomy of a Scandal and Bridgerton star Hannah Dodd. It is believed Sam initiated their brief romance by liking a number of her posts on social media.
He has also been linked to model Lottie Moss and Norwegian singer Sigrid.
