Sheridan Smith is once again grappling with personal heartbreak after the untimely death of her ex-boyfriend, Graham Nation.
The stylist, known for his work with Hollywood stars like Demi Moore and Catherine O’Hara, tragically passed away at the age of 39.
His sudden death occurred at a gym in Los Angeles on February 14, 2025.
Authorities from the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner have confirmed that the case is still under investigation.
Sheridan and Graham: A Brief but Meaningful Relationship
Sheridan and Graham’s relationship was short but meaningful.
The two dated in 2017, with Sheridan calling him her “dream man.”
They even lived together in her London home, and their bond was often visible in public, like the times they were spotted in Notting Hill.
Despite their breakup, which saw Graham move out of Sheridan’s home, it was reported that there was no animosity between them.
Sources mentioned that Sheridan, though heartbroken by the split, still cherished the memories they shared, even as she dealt with feelings of loneliness after their separation.
Sheridan’s Struggles and Canceled Autobiography
As if the pain of Graham’s passing wasn’t enough, Sheridan is also facing setbacks with her long-awaited autobiography, Honestly.
Initially announced in 2021, the book was meant to explore some of the darkest chapters of her life, including her struggles with alcohol, mental health, and relationships with high-profile figures like James Corden and Jamie Horn, the father of her son.
However, after multiple delays, Sheridan has decided to shelve the project indefinitely.
A source shared that her mindset had changed, and she wasn’t sure about sharing every detail of her life with the public anymore.
The decision to cancel the book came as no surprise, considering Sheridan’s long history of facing personal challenges.
A Period of Grief and Professional Setbacks
Sheridan has never shied away from discussing her mental health struggles, often connecting them to the pressures of fame and loss.
Her father’s death in 2016 had a profound impact on her, triggering an extended period of grief.
At the time, she expressed gratitude for the public’s support, sharing how people would stop her on the street to offer comfort.
In addition to her personal challenges, Sheridan also faced professional setbacks.
While starring in the West End production of Funny Girl in 2016, she suffered a highly publicized breakdown.
Stress, exhaustion, and her father’s illness forced her to take a break from the show.
She later admitted feeling ashamed of that period but now looks back with a sense of gratitude for the lessons learned.
More recently, her performance in the West End play Opening Night was deeply personal for her, as it depicted a character struggling with alcoholism, similar to Sheridan’s own battles.
Unfortunately, despite her dedication to the role, the production faced critical reviews and was prematurely closed due to financial difficulties. Sheridan was deeply affected by the play’s early closure, as she had poured her heart into it.
Remembering Graham Nation: A Life Cut Short
The news of Graham’s passing has left a deep impact on those who knew him, including his colleagues and friends in the industry.
The Wall Group, the agency that represented him, shared a heartfelt tribute, remembering Graham as a “one-of-a-kind soul” who touched the lives of everyone he met.
They expressed their sadness, saying, “We are honoured to have been part of his journey and to have helped him share his artistry with the world.”
In the days leading up to his death, Graham had posted a celebratory message on Instagram, thanking Schitt’s Creek actress Catherine O’Hara for the opportunity to style her hair for a Super Bowl commercial.
He had also recently worked with other high-profile names, including Erin Foster, Madison Beer, and Meghann Fahy.
