Here's a look at Taylor Tomlinson's broken engagement with Sam Morril and her whopping net worth amid 'Prodigal Daughter' release.
Prominent American stand-up comedian and television host, Taylor Tomlinson, dropped her fourth Netflix stand-up special, Prodigal Daughter. The show premiered on February 24, 2026 and has been generating immense buzz ever since. The show already garnered subsequent viewership and love, putting Taylor back in the spotlight. The 32-year-old humour queen opened up about her personal life in the special. As her candid remarks take over the viewers, here's a look at her past relationship with Sam Morril.
Just like Taylor Tomlinson, her ex, Sam Morril is also a popular American stand-up comedian. Besides being a being a comedy skit performer, his website describe him as as a writer and actor. Sam is known for his prolific joke-writing and for appearances on major late-night programs like The Tonight Show, where he chatted with hosts like Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, and Conan O'Brien. He also co-hosts the weekly podcast, We Might Be Drunk with fellow comedian, Mark Normand. His specials have been regarded as among the best-written in the current comedy scene.
Some of Sam's most popular comedy specials include You've Changed (2024) on Amazon Prime Video, Same Time Tomorrow (2022) on Netflix, Up On The Roof (2020) and I Got This (2020) on YouTube, and Positive Influence (2018), produced by Amy Schumer for Comedy Central. Sam Morril was the host of the Emmy-nominated show, People Talking Sports. He also made a cameo as a comedian in the 2019 global hit, Joker.
Comedians, Sam Morril and Taylor Tomlinson's love story began in late 2019. Their relationship began as a close friendship that developed "very organically" after Sam reached out to Taylor with respectful messages about her television stand-up sets. As the duo kept chatting, they caught feelings for each other. They wasted no time and started dating after a few days. The duo then publicly confirmed their status as a couple in early 2020. Sam and Taylor became a beloved comedian couple, who often shared deets of their relationship with their fans.
Sam and Taylor were in a live-in relationship during the COVID-19 pandemic. The former couple became well-known for chronicling their quarantine together in a web series called New Couple Gets Quarantined. Their live-in experience in Los Angeles led to the creation of their podcast, This Is Important To Me, in 2020. It mostly featured accounts of Sam and Taylor's domestic life, including discussions of the movies they watched and their daily chores. At that time, they even got engaged; however, they called it off within a few days.
In Taylor Tomlinson's March 2020 appearance at The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon!, she humorously recounted her broken engagement with Sam Morril. She said, "I got engaged. Thank you. It did not work," and laughed it off. She joked that the breakup "wasn't that sad", and she was relieved, as her ring wouldn't get caught on stuff like her sweaters and her freedom. According to her, it just "wasn't the right fit", and she even felt annoyed and "terrible" about using the word "ex-fiancé" while talking about her cancelled engagement.
In the same monologue, Taylor shared that she liked getting engaged more than she even imagined. She mentioned having a ring on her ring finger made her feel like her life was perfect, and she wouldn't need anything else as long as she had a fiancé who loved her; however, the illusion was soon broken. In her comedy skit, Taylor hinted that the reason for her breakup was Sam and their inability to handle each other's differences. They might not have liked certain aspects about each other, which couldn't be fixed even if they tried. Sharing her resolve to not consider marriage anymore, Tylor wrote on Facebook:
"Don't Get Married. Calling off an engagement WAS very sad but...pretty happy I'm not planning a coronavirus-themed wedding right now tbh."
Taylor Tomlinson's wealth is largely attributed to her rapid rise in the comedy industry, specifically through high-profile Netflix deals and extensive live touring. She has released three major specials, Quarter-Life Crisis (2020), Look At You (2022), and Have It All (2024). In 2023, she reportedly signed a multi-speciality deal to further expand her relationship with the platform. Taylor's 2023 tour was one of the highest-grossing for a comedian, generating over USD 17.5 million in sales from 132 shows. By 2025, she was averaging roughly USD 300,000 per night at major theatres and arenas.
As of late 2024, her net worth was estimated to be approximately USD 4.2 million, as per The Bulletin Time. Following her Netflix special and the release of Prodigal Daughter, her income is expected to rise even more. Taylor is slightly richer than her ex-fiancé, Sam Morril. As of February 2026, his estimated net worth is approximately USD 3 million, as per Celebrity Net Worth.
