Although the rumours have yet to be confirmed it has been widely reported that the Olympic diver is going out with Hollywood screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, most notable for writing the Harvey Milk biopic MILK, starring James Franco and Sean Penn.

Speaking candidly about how Daley met with his boyfriend:

"It really was love at first sight, I'd never felt anything like it before. We were at a party and I hadn't even spoken to him all night," Tom said

"I didn't know what to do or if he was gay at first. I made the first move, I typed 'call me' in his notes with a smiley face on this phone and the next day he texted. He makes me feel safe and happy, right now I couldn't be happier.

"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."

Speaking about labelling his sexuality, Tom went on to say:

"Everything is all pretty new so I don't see any point in putting a label on it - gay, bi, straight, any of those kind of labels," he explained.
