In 2019, Sam revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that he and Ashley had a 3-year-old son. He was discussing young people watching Euphoria, which he said was for "all ages" regardless of the subject matter, and added, "So I think if you feel like your kid is going to watch it regardless of what you say, then maybe you should watch it with them and have a conversation about it."
He continued, "Something could be extremely overwhelming, and I’m sensitive to it even with my own son. He’s 3 years old, and I don’t like when he’s watching something and there’s a really suspenseful score. I feel like it just soaks into him and it gives him anxiety. But he’s also 3."
