Gavin & Stacey star Sheridan Smith has been through a lot of heartache – and she was delivered another crushing blow recently when it was revealed that an ex-boyfriend had died unexpectedly in Los Angeles, aged just 39.
Stylist-to-the stars Graham Nation, who has worked with Demi Moore, Jared Leto and Venus Williams, died after collapsing in a gym on Valentine's Day. The case is now pending an additional investigation, according to the LA County Department of Medical Examiner.

Graham, who is believed to have first met Sheridan when he was styling her hair for a shoot, is survived by his make-up artist partner Tonya Brewer and their six-month-old son, Romeo.
Sheridan, 43, dated the celebrity stylist in 2017, calling him her “dream man”. At the time, she wrote about him, “Look how fit my man is #punching,” on a loved-up snap of the couple.
When they parted ways, a source reportedly told a newspaper that Sheridan was heartbroken after Graham “moved out” of her London home, claiming, “There is no animosity and Graham is still there for her, but she feels quite lonely at the moment.”
It would be understandable if the news has hit Sheridan hard. As well as the pain of his loss, her ex’s death must surely also act as a poignant reminder to mum-of-one Sheridan – who is currently thought to be single – that, despite several high-profile relationships, she is yet to find The One.
Last May, the actress – who, as well as a roller-coaster love life, has struggled with well-documented addiction and mental health issues over the years – admitted that she had signed up to dating apps again.
The move came three years after her split from ex-fiancé Jamie Horn, who she met on Tinder and welcomed her son, Billy, with in 2020.
At the time of their split, she said she was “still figuring out” her love life but was more than “happy” with spending her time with her little boy.
Speaking of being in the acting business, she admitted, “It’s hard to let anyone into that world, and for anyone to want to be part of that world as well, so who knows what the future holds, but I’m happy.”
She also said she felt she was “good” at being single – but that her mates would disagree with her. “Of course, I’d love to get older with somebody, but if I don’t I’ve got my boy and I live for him. It’s me and him against the world. Everything is for him, so I don’t feel the need now to be dating like I always used to.
“Hopefully one day, someone will love me for me.”
Sheridan’s rocky romance history included a year-long relationship with her Gavin & Stacey co-star James Corden in 2007. The pair seemed like love’s young dream, but went their separate ways after a year, rekindling their romance in 2009 for a short time.
James previously described Sheridan as “the love of his life” and confessed that he was “heartbroken” when things didn’t work out between them.
