In an interview with the UK's Jonathan Ross broadcast Saturday, Daley described how he met his boyfriend.
"I'd never felt like anything like it before," Daley said. "We were at a party and I hadn't even spoken to him all night. I didn't know what to do or if he was gay at first. I typed 'call me' in his notes with a smiley face on his phone, and the next day he texted. He makes me feel safe and happy, right now I couldn't be happier."
"I'd never felt the feeling of love, it happened so quickly. I was completely overwhelmed by it to the point I can't get him out of my head all the time. I've never had it before where I love someone and they love me just as much."
"My family ...they're all so supportive of me and I couldn't ask for anything more," Daley added.
