Tom Daley has taken to social media to share a rather cheeky wedding snap with husband Dustin Lance Black to mark almost a decade since they tied the knot in a romantic ceremony at Dartmoor National Park
Tom Daley has shared a cheeky unseen snap from his wedding to Dustin Lance Black. The Olympic diver, 31, tied the knot with Hollywood director Dustin, 51, in 2017 and went on to become parents to Robbie Ray, seven, as well as three-year-old Phoenix Rose together.
The big day all took place in Bovey Castle Hotel in Dartmoor National Park on May 6 2017, and, on their ninth wedding anniversary, Tom, who got together in 2013, marked the day by sharing a new snap with their fans.
The first picture showed the grooms walking through the gardens with their families and friends behind them, but in the second photo, the pair of them were standing at a set of urinals, with Dustin cheekily gazing downwards.
Tom wrote: “Nine year wedding anniversary,” and emblazoned his sweet comment with a red love heart emoji.
The pair met when former Celebrity Traitors star was at a a low point in his diving when he was suffering from a lack of confidence, but that didn’t stop him making a play for his now-husband.
Recalling that time, Tom recently explained: “I got to a really low point with my diving where I thought I wasn’t going to be able to keep going like I didn’t see the point in carrying on. Meeting Lance, he kind of inspired me to want to carry on. Inspired me to want to be great at what I do.
“He inspired me to want to be the best person that I could be. It was really special, because I think it was the first time that I realised that being attracted to men wasn’t just a sexual thing. I actually could fall in love with a man.”
Meanwhile, Dustin explained that it was Tom who took charge and gave him his number to get things started. He said: “My phone, he puts his number in, and when he hands it back and I look at it, he’s put a winky face at the end of his phone number. No heterosexual man has ever put a winky face at the end of their number when they give it to another dude!
“The first things we started sharing were about the fact that he had, not so long ago lost his dad. I had not so long ago just lost my big brother, who was like my dad, because I never had that. I had recently won an Academy Award. He had won his first Olympic medal.
“We were able to share with each other the post accomplishment blues and devastation, the way that when you win something you only ever dreamed about, there’s something inside you that disassembles and has to be put back together, and that there’s almost no one on the planet you can share that with, because people think, Well, gosh, you should be so grateful!”
Tom previously explained that despite their 20-year age gap, the pair have managed to simply “align” with one another thanks to the passage of time. He told UsWeekly: “One hundred percent. It’s funny because the people that know us know that I’m the more mature person that kinds of runs the show in the house.
“As we get older, I think we both align very well on what we want to achieve. We’re both really big dreamers. I think that was the biggest thing for us, that we’re both so supportive of each other. We don’t limit the other person’s dreams. We really make each other feel like we can achieve whatever we set our minds to!”
