British Olympic diver Tom Daley and
screenwriter Dustin Lance Black have announced their marriage
engagement.
“The engagement is announced between
Tom, son of Robert and Debra Daley of Plymouth, and Lance, son of
Jeff Bisch of Philadelphia and Anne Bisch of Lake Providence,” an
announcement titled “Mr T.R. Daley and Mr D.L. Black” in the
Times of London's Birth, Marriages and Deaths section stated.
Daley, 21, who came out bisexual in a
2013 YouTube video, and Black, 41, started dating in the summer of
that year.
Earlier this year, Daley told The
Guardian that his attraction to men increased when he met Black.
“I always knew that I had that
attraction to guys, but I just thought that was a usual thing, being
attracted to guys and girls. It was only when I met Lance I started
having such strong feelings,” Daley said.
He added that dating someone who “gets
how we have other things in our life that we want to be successful
at” makes it “much easier.”
“I want an Olympic gold medal; he
wants a smash hit in the box office or a really good film,” Daley
said.
