Sam Howell is very successful in keeping his private life away from the social media reach. Extracting his Instagram and Twitter account, he has never shared any photos with any girls. It seems Sam prefers his love life behind the camera.
It may be that he is still single. As of 2022, he is just 22 years old and focusing on his career without spending time in romances.
But with his tall, muscular physique and a promising career, no doubt there must be girls wanting to date the North Carolina Tar Heels quarterback.
