Does that mean she was his gf or just he liked her? In the same book he taklks abt avoiding relationships so Iโ€™m just confused
Let's see if I can offer a bit of clarity, Anon.
Sam referred to Elspeth Brodie as an old GIRLFRIEND in the 92 y video interview and said this about her in his book, Waypoints. ๐Ÿ‘‡
Tumblr media
Sounds like a girlfriend to me, Anon. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ
As for you being confused with regard to Sam and relationships. I'm assuming you're referring to this part of Sam's book. ๐Ÿ‘‡
Tumblr media
He CLEARLY says he had a few relationships in the past where he gave it his all, "I used to go in with 100 per cent commitment." Maybe he's talking about Elspeth Brodie during his theater years. Or Katie Rebekah when he lived in London. And I would imagine he is also referring to Abbie Salt, with whom he had an almost one year relationship in 2015. And for sure, Mackenzie Mauzy, his most serious relationship that we know of, which lasted two years from 2016-2018.
He says he looks at his life and the possibility of a LONGTERM relationship...something he can "sustain in five or ten years' time." To me, he's saying he HAS devoted himself in relationships and then he starts to wonder if he can keep it going, gets scared (given his parents' divorce, as well as his brother getting divorced), and the relationship ends.
Sam seems to have decided to not have another long term relationship for now--hence the short term ones since 2018, after the break up with Mackenzie. As I've posted before, my Mackenzie family source confirmed that Sam and Mackenzie broke up because Mackenzie wanted to get married and Sam didn't...so they parted ways.
The last sentence BREAKS MY HEART "I'm also mindful that I'm the son of a man who disappeared." ๐Ÿ˜ญ IOW "I don't want to fuck it up the same way my dad did." And the easiest way to not fuck it up is by not getting married or having kids.
Sam doesn't want to get hurt, but just as importantly, he's saying he doesn't want to hurt anyone else. To me, that's both admirable and tragic. If you grow up knowing that your father left you, your brother, and mother, and literally chose to not be part of your life until you were an adult, it makes you wonder if you have the "same genes," and would do the same thing. It makes you wonder "why wasn't I enough for my dad to stay?" And when you're an adult, that translates into "I'M not enough to stay." ๐Ÿ˜ญ
In summary, given how emotionally scarred Sam is from his father abandoning him as a toddler, it will take a HUGE leap of faith for Sam to ever get married, let alone, have kids.
How do you walk away from this little guy? ๐Ÿ˜” ๐Ÿ‘‡
Tumblr media
It's really a sad story and I wish some of his haters would have a bit more empathy. Hope springs eternal...๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

Got this in DM from one of my followers who went to the 92 Y event in New York and got a copy of Sam's book, "Waypoints." ๐Ÿ‘‡
Remember how in the 92y video, Sam mentioned an old girlfriend in his theater days, Elspeth, and I posted it that it was Elspeth Brodie. Well, Sam once again CONFIRMS this in his book. This ๐Ÿ‘‡ is from the inside of the book.
Tumblr media
"Captured...my heart, on and OFF the stage." Aw, so sweet. โค๏ธ
Too bad Sam can no longer be open about his current love life because of all the harassment and bullying from Extreme Shippers and assorted trolls. ๐Ÿ˜

From Submit Option:
"Sam Heughan, in his 92NY Waypoints event, talked about his ex-girlfriend who probably was a tenant of Richard Madden. Was it Abbie Salt do you think? Link to the panel:ย https://youtu.be/AMge0LH0UmE"
โ€-----------------------
Anon, if you listen closely at around the 35.28 mark, after Sam mentions Richard Madden and Sam's girlfriend at the time being Richard's tennant, you hear Sam say the name "Elspeth."

youtube
So, I looked up Sam Heughan and Elspeth and here are the results. ๐Ÿ‘‡
Tumblr media
Elspeth Brodie is a Scottish actress that acted with Sam. ๐Ÿ‘‡
Tumblr media
The play they acted in together was The Pearlfisher in 2007. ๐Ÿ‘‡
Tumblr media
This is the first time I hear about her as being one of Sam's ex-girlfriends...and this was courtesy of Sam himself... so she can now be CONFIRMED as one of Sam's ex-girlfriends. ๐Ÿค— You know how I love me new info...well, new/old. โค๏ธ
