The 23-year-old diver first announced that he had a boyfriend in a YouTube video back in 2013, and the couple later announced their engagement in 2015.

Dustin Lance Black, 43, is best known for winning the 'best original screenplay' Oscar for the 2008 movie Milk, which is based on the life of gay rights activist Harvey Milk.

Tom Daley won bronze medals at the Olympic Games in both London and Rio de Janeiro.

Congratulations to them both!
