Radio 2 Breakfast presenter Sara Cox and singer Sam Smith both discuss LGBTQ family life in recent public remarks. Cox says she is a “proud mother” of her queer daughter, Lola, 22. She also has two other children: son Isaac, 18, and daughter Renee, 16, with her husband, Ben Cyzer; Lola is described as her child from a previous relationship with Jon Carter. Sam Smith, in related comments, says they “can’t wait to start a family,” describing excitement about becoming parents. The two are presented as bonding over LGBTQ parenting, with the coverage focusing on how they view parenthood and family-building within LGBTQ contexts. Across the reports, the common themes are Cox’s perspective as a parent of a queer child and Smith’s expressed intention to begin a family, framed as part of broader discussion of LGBTQ parenting.
