Daley has won the Olympic Games once, the World Championships three times, the Junior World Championships twice, the European Championships five times, and the Commonwealth Games four times.

And whenever he is not out being a legend, he just sits around trying to knit something up, sweaters, scarves, anything.

It was only at an event at Battersea Power Station in May 2014 that the couple finally came out together as a couple and revealed Tom’s mysterious lover.

Then about a year later, in 2015, the couple decided that it was time to take things further and got engaged.

The couple got married in May 2017 at the five-star golf resort in the Dartmoor national park.

The venue was 30 miles from Plymouth, Devon, where Tom was raised, and just 50 close friends and family members attended.

Black seems to have a very rough time growing up due to his sexuality. He grew up in a Mormon household and in the confines of military camps. 

He himself found himself in a state of emotional turmoil since the age of six or seven when he would find himself looking at the boys of the neighborhood. 

Black had a very hard time coping with his sexuality. He would often find himself being shy, dark, and even suicidal.

Tom Daley Children 

The couple announced that they were expecting their first child via Instagram on Valentine’s Day of 2018.

In March 2018, Tom confirmed that the baby will be born via surrogate and disclosed the sex, revealing the couple would have a boy.

Once again, the couple announced the birth of their second child via Instagram. It is a boy who was born on 28 March 2023, and he would be name Phoenix.
