March 23, 2015

Tom Daley's relationship with his boyfriend Dustin Lance Black prompted the Olympic diver to come out in December 2013 – and now the couple have celebrated their two-year anniversary together.

The 20-year-old swimmer shared a heartfelt message on his social media accounts alongside the first selfie they ever took together. "2 years ago I met my [frog] and my life changed forever! Thank you for making these past 2 years so special," he wrote to his Instagram followers.

US-born Dustin, meanwhile, took to his Facebook page to share the sentiment: "Two years ago we took a selfie just after meeting... the very moment my life changed forever. Happy Anniversary my love."

Tom and his film-maker beau Dustin made their first public debut in May last year, months after the diver released a personal video clip on YouTube in which he explained to fans that he was in a relationship with a man.

The talented sportsman later opened up on their relationship, admitting it was "love at first sight". Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show in December, he said: "I'd never felt like anything like it before. 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'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."

Tom was honoured with the Man Of The Year trophy at the 2014 Attitude magazine awards in October. Taking to the podium at the London ceremony, he said: "It's a real honour to be named Man of the Year 2014 by Attitude magazine. It's been a good year and to be given this award means a lot."
