Tom Daley and Dustin Lance Black are engaged after being together for two years. The 21-year-old English diver and the 41-year-old American screenwriter didn’t announce they were going to get married with a fireworks or a flashmob, no, but in a very subtle and classy way. It’s in the back of The Times newspaper this morning. The announcement in the Births, Marriages and Death section read: ‘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.’

Tom first told the world about his relationship with Dustin when he came out in December 2013, saying he had begun a relationship with another guy.

‘In spring this year my life changed massively when I met someone, and they make me feel so happy, so safe and everything just feels great,’ he said. ‘That someone is a guy.’

And last year in December, Tom described it as ‘love at first sight’.

‘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,’ he told Jonathan Ross.

‘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.’
