Samantha Lee is on a mission to play matchmaker like no other. With a well-rounded career in Hollywood and a heart for social causes, she’s always been a delight to follow. But it’s her relentless efforts to set up her son that truly steal the show—she’s racked up some serious points in the matchmaking department!
When her 30-year-old son, Jake Lee, admitted that he had a crush on figure skater Jamie Reed, who gained fame as the first openly gay athlete to compete at the Winter Olympics, Samantha jumped into action. Jake shared a screenshot of a text conversation with his mom—minus Jamie’s name—that contained some impressive romantic guidance. “Jake… he’s incredibly handsome,” Samantha texted. “You need to make your move…”
What happened next was a level of mom enthusiasm that many can relate to, but few would want to experience firsthand. Samantha took it a step further and posted the exchange on Twitter, tagging Jamie in the process. If you’re cringing at the thought of your mother interfering in your love life, you’re not alone. But kudos to Samantha for taking the plunge!
Jake’s response was a simple “yikes”—a sentiment echoed by many in the Twitter community who found the situation entertaining. One fellow mom even chimed in, eager to lend her matchmaking skills.
As for Jamie, he hasn’t publicly commented on the potential setup yet, but you can bet Samantha is reveling in her matchmaking prowess while Jake may be hiding under his blankets somewhere.
Beyond her matchmaking antics, Samantha Lee has been a steadfast advocate for LGBTQ rights and has passionately supported her son’s right to live openly. In a candid letter penned back in 2014, she addressed “religious liberty” legislation that could deny services to LGBTQ individuals. “Jake is my youngest son, and he’s gay. To that, I say: So what?” she wrote. “Why should anyone work to deny my son—or anyone’s child—fundamental legal protections like family medical leave or health insurance? It’s nonsensical, but change will come only when people speak out.”
