Tom Daley, 21, and Dustin Lance Black, 41, announce their engagement

We’ve covered Olympian Tom Daley’s relationship with Oscar-winner Dustin Lance Black before. Daley is only 21 years old now, but he got together with DLB back in 2013, when Daley was only 19. At the time, DLB was 39! Now DLB is 41. Considering they’ve been together for two years, maybe we should stop making a big deal about the age difference? Except that now they’re engaged. Dustin Lance Black, a 41 year old, got engaged to a 21-year-old. There’s a whiff of Stephen Fry to this situation, right? Except in Fry’s situation, he was 30 years older than his new husband.

British Olympic dive champion Tom Daley is engaged to his screenwriter boyfriend Dustin Lance Black — and they announced their happy news in the Times of London newspaper.

As Us Weekly reported back in December 2013, Daley, 21, and Black, 41, started dating in the summer of that year. The Olympic champion came out as bisexual to fans via his YouTube page on Monday, Dec. 2, revealing that he’d fallen in love with a man, but not disclosing Black’s identity at the time.

“My life changed massively when I met someone, and they make me feel so happy, so safe and everything just feels great,” Daley gushed. “That someone is a guy. It did take me by surprise a little bit,” he continued, noting, “I still fancy girls.”

Sources told Us that the 20-year age gap between Daley and his Oscar-winning Milk scribe love wasn’t something that bothered him at all. “Tom told friends he ‘doesn’t care what people think,'” our insider revealed. And it looks like this relationship was meant to be! Because the couple are now engaged to be married, and proudly announced their exciting news by placing an article in the Times of London’s Births, Marriages and Deaths section.

The announcement was titled, “Mr T.R. Daley and Mr D.L. Black,” and continued, “The engagement is announced between Tom, son of Robert and Debra Daley of Plymouth, and Lance, son of Jeff Bisch of Philadelphia and Anne Bisch of Lake Providence.”

Daley and Black moved in together in London in May of this year.

If this makes them happy, then God bless. They’re both adults, although Tom was just barely an adult when he first got with DLB, so that makes me uncomfortable. I actually think it’s probably a good sign that DLB moved to London for Tom, although if we’re being honest, I don’t really think this will last more than a few years. Still, I enjoy the fact that LGBT couples are now free to put their engagement announcements in conservative newspapers only to have it fall it apart in a few years. We’ll see, gentlemen!
