After Michael Sam split from his fiancé and longtime boyfriend, Vito Cammisano, this summer, fans have been wondering who the openly gay sports star would end up with next. And fans thought perhaps they’d found the answer last week when Sam posted photos of himself with “Empire” star Jussie Smollett. But are the two really dating?
Throughout the past week, Sam has shared three photos of himself with Smollett. One of them, which started the suspicion, shows Sam with Smollett at the “Empire” season premiere.
Another shows Smollett wearing one of Sam’s new inspirational T-shirts as the two stand next to each other.
Of course, the questions about their relationship began to grow and the internet began buzzing with dating rumors. But when TMZ caught up with Smollett and asked him about the three photos Sam posted of him on his Instagram page, as well as the rumors that the two of them are dating, Smollett got straight to the point and denied any claims that he and Sam are an item.
“Man, y’all get up out my face about that. That’s the homie right there,” Smollett said.
Well, it looks like Sam is still enjoying the single life, and, as always, Smollett will likely keep his romantic life under wraps.
