Smith’s romance with American model and dancer Jonathan Zeizel began on the set of their music video for “Like I Can”. The pair’s connection quickly blossomed, leading them to confirm their relationship towards the end of 2014.

However, the romance was short-lived, lasting only about two months into January 2015. The first hint of their split surfaced during a concert in Toronto, where Smith emotionally introduced their song “Good Thing”, a track about break-ups, as reflecting their personal experience with someone they were seeing.
