   Adam Lambert was previously in a relationship with Finnish reporter and reality TV star Sauli Koskinen from 2010 to 2013.

   In summer 2018, he spoke of being single for five years, telling Gay Star News: "I could meet and really click with a special guy in whatever city I’m in for a few days, but then I have to continue to my next destination.

   "What’s hard is attempting to see each other again – especially after just a first date. That’s a lot of expectation and pressure to place on someone. Flying to another country for a second date is understandably intimidating."

   Adam was also said to be dating Spanish model Javi Costa Polo, but this romance reportedly ended in late 2019.

   Since late 2020, Adam has been in a relationship with partner Oliver Gliese.
