Tom Daley has insisted he and his fiancé Dustin Lance Black are “stronger than ever” after intimate pictures and an explicit Snapchat video reportedly emerged of him stripping off for a British fan.
The Olympic diver has spoken out about the leak, insisting he was “on a break” from his future husband at the time and that he was aware of what happened.
The double Olympics bronze medal winner told The Sun: “I’m 22 years old, and if you talk to someone through social media it is what it is. It was nothing more than that. We never physically met.
He added that things are very much back on with his screenwriter fiancé and they are full steam ahead with planning their forthcoming nuptials.
“This will absolutely never happen again now that we’re getting married,” he added. “The date is set, and we’re raring and ready to go for that wedding now.”
Lance has also spoken out, explaining that honesty is the secret to their relationship.
The 42-year-old added to The Sun: “Tom and I talked about anything and everything that went on. That’s the secret to how we are so close and can survive tough times.
The couple first met in 2013, just months before the Olympian opened up about his sexuality in a YouTube video to fans. They got engaged in October 2015.
