MUMBAI: Grammy winner Sam Smith has joked about his future lover.

The 'Stay with me' hitmaker, who picked up four Grammys at the awards last weekend, even spoke about his recent split from Jonathan Zeizel, reports mirror.co.uk.

"I was recently (seeing someone) but I split up with them about three weeks ago, I could not bring out 'In The Lonely Hour' and go to the Grammys with someone, I had to be lonely for the Grammys," Smith said during an interview on 'The Ellen Show'.

He then joked, "I have just got to make sure my next boyfriend can polish my Grammys for me."

Smith also spoke about the mysterious ex who he wrote 'In The Lonely Hour' about, and his experience with love.

"I just find it funny, such a sad record and sad experience turned out to be a happy one. He does (know who he is)," he said.
