British Olympic diver Tom Daley talked coming out on YouTube in a recent interview with AOL Build.
The 22-year-old Daley came out in a 2013 YouTube video.
"Of course, I still fancy girls," he said at the time, but "right now I'm dating a guy."
The guy, screenwriter Dustin Lance Black (Milk, When We Rise), is now his fiance.
"Coming out on YouTube, it wasn't something that I thought about at any of that," Daley said this week, adding that it was a relief to get the weight off of his shoulders.
"It felt like the right thing to do at the time," he added.
Daley was also asked who was the better chef in the relationship, and he answered that he is.
"He's very good at the American Southern comfort food," Daley said. "But he doesn't necessarily know how to cook the healthiest of meals. So, I tend to do most of the cooking."
