When Sam Heughan graced the television screen in August 2014 as hunky Scottish heartthrob Jamie Fraser in Outlander, viewers across the globe swooned and couldn’t help but ponder if he was single.

Sam, the self-proclaimed “romantic at heart,” currently officially remains on the market as a single man and is arguably one of the most eligible bachelors – but unofficially, he was spotted with a mystery woman…

He certainly has no shortages of admirers. Despite this, Sam has remained notoriously quiet regarding his romantic relationships but there have been a few lucky women.

Given his dating history, fans believed Sam to be a work-a-holic but during an interview on The Drew Barrymore Show in August 2022, he quickly addressed the rumours.

“My whole career, not just Outlander, but as an actor, I have always put that first,” he said.

“It’s hard when you travel a lot. My priority has been my career, so that’s where I am at the moment. But I am sure at some point, I will get knocked off my feet, then I’m screwed.”

Fans suspected Caitriona and Sam to be dating.

Outlander fans did begin to ponder if Sam’s on-screen chemistry with his co-star Caitriona Balfe went beyond the camera. However, it was quickly shut down as their chemistry was purely platonic.

“We just started chatting in the [chemistry] test before we started the audition, and we just seemed to get on,” Sam previously told EW.

Meanwhile, Caitriona has told People: “We’re really good friends. We’re both going through the same experience, so that’s great, we both really understand that. I hope I’m as good support as he is to me.”

However, on May 29, 2024, the Outlander star was spotted holding hands with a mystery woman despite telling People he was “still looking” for love earlier in the month. 

The pair were walking the streets of Soho, London when spotted by paparazzi. Sadly, the identity of this woman remains a mystery and given Sam’s history of being light-lipped, it will remain so for a long time.
