Tom Daley Boyfriend: 2012 London Summer Olympics Diver Says He Is Not Bisexual
Olympic diver Tom Daley has changed teams. The athlete says he is no longer bisexual and now only plays for one team: the one that is attracted to men.
Back in December, Daley released a video on YouTube where he confessed that he is bisexual.
"Of course I still fancy girls, but right now I'm dating a guy and I couldn't be happier," he said in the video.
The 19-year-old Olympian was referring to Dustin Lance Black, a 39-year-old Oscar-winning screenwriter, with whom Daley is still involved. In a recent interview with ITV2's Celebrity Juice, Daley said their relationship is "all good."
During the same interview, Daley also revealed that he has changed his tune since the YouTube confession, saying he only likes men.
"I am a gay man now," he said yesterday.
Daley also explained why he felt the need to come out in a such a public way.
"I came out on YouTube as I wanted to say what I wanted to say without anyone twisting it," the 2012 London Summer Olympics bronze medal winner said.
Revealing his sexuality on YouTube helped Daley find peace.
"I did it on YouTube because people were constantly digging and asking questions," he explained.
Just days after Daley's video hit YouTube, sources revealed that he was dating Black.
"I told my family before I told the world," he continued. "I was terrified. I did not know what the reaction was going to be."
Daley kept mum when he was asked to reveal the names of celebrities that remain in the closet.
"We don't all sit down and write down each other's names," Daley responded. "It's not like the AA+. It should not really matter. Nobody should care."
In his December video, Daley said that he plans on winning a gold medal for Great Britain at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Daley's interview airs tonight on ITV2 at 10 p.m.
