Olympian Tom Daley is 20 years younger than his screenwriter husband, Dustin Lance Black. Here's a timeline of their relationship.

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image">Getty ImagesDustin Lance Black wrote and directed ABC's gay rights miniseries, "When We Rise."</div></div></div>PASADENA, California - Dustin Lance Black says he's fully aware of the war being waged by members of the so-called alt-right on his upcoming ABC television miniseries "When We Rise," and how it could affect its success."Loud and clear, I want to say because this show is under attack by the alt-right online. We have been targeted. We'll get absolutely zero ratings on every internet platform," Black said during the Television Critics Association press tour on Tuesday. "But this show is not a war. We are not against anyone. Every single person in this world is a minority in one way or another. It just depends on how you slice the pie. And this show tells us how we are related."The alt-right community is a fringe conservative movement that has associations with racism, bigotry, and white nationalism. A spotlight has been on the movement recently, since President-elect Donald Trump's recently appointed chief strategist, Steve Bannon, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/trevor-noah-blasts-republicans-trump-steve-bannon-hire-2016-11" target="_blank">has been accused of promoting bigoted parts of the movement</a>. But Black hopes that people of all backgrounds and beliefs tune in to the show and make up their own mind."There's an idea about the show out there in some small groups. Let's be real," Black said. "I think a lot of people who voted for Donald Trump will love this show. I don't see this show as the type of show that's only trying to speak with half the country. That's not what this is all about. I didn't write this show for half the country. I think if Donald Trump actually watches the show, he might like the show.""When We Rise," which Black wrote and directed, chronicles the American gay rights movement. Black said he began developing the project with ABC (against his business manager's advice) four years ago. And while he hoped the political climate would be different when it aired, he said that he wasn't blindsided by the current conservative re-emergence."I would give anything in the world for it to be less topical," Black said of the show's timing. "I never could have imagined it would land in this moment. I'm not entirely surprised. We know that history is not a straight line. We know that history is a pendulum. I knew this kind of moment might happen. I'n grateful for ABC's courage. I'm grateful for everyone up on the stage and all the artists that helped make this, because I do think it's a necessary conversation to have right now.""When We Rise" premieres Monday, February 27 at 9 p.m. on ABC. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/montel-williams-bill-oreilly-factor-lgbt-obama-polls-bill-called-coward-2016-7">Bill O'Reilly called out Montel Williams for walking out 'about some gay thing' - and Williams had a fiery response</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="NoczJ2NDE6OphhKdu_7CGuadSUF-pPMa" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>

Dustin Lance Black talks alt-right attack on his new gay rights TV show: 'We'll get zero ratings'

<ul class="summary-list"><li>The British diver Tom Daley is preparing to compete at his fifth Olympics.</li><li>Daley described the "20-20-20" post-workout nutrition rule he follows to support his training.</li></ul>With four Olympics and a gold medal under his belt, Tom Daley was set on retiring. Then, less than a year before the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tickets-paris-2024-olympics-opening-ceremony-sticker-shock-sold-out-2024-1">2024 Paris Games</a>, the British diver changed his mind; his 5-year-old son had said he wanted to see his father compete.Thanks to that push from his son, Daley — one of his country's most <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/who-is-tom-daley-diver-british-influencer-2021-7">celebrated and popular athletes</a> — will become the first British diver to compete at five Olympic Games.While juggling childcare, the 30-year-old is training hard and eating well to defend his title in the 10-meter synchronized diving event, in which he <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tom-daley-owes-gold-medal-at-tokyo-olympics-to-knitting-2022-10">won gold in Tokyo</a> in 2021.He told Business Insider the nutrition principles he follows and how he deals with pressure ahead of the Olympics.<h2 id="00e5a270-d916-4ee5-8922-34aa075200e6">Post-workout protein and carbs</h2>Speaking with BI as part of his partnership with the travel app Trainline, Daley said the way he <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/pro-athletes-favorite-post-workout-performance-snacks-2023-7">fuels himself</a> depends on his training, whether he's diving or weightlifting.No matter the workout, though, he follows what he calls the 20-20-20 rule: consuming 20 grams of carbohydrates and 20 grams of protein within 20 minutes of finishing a session."It's the best way of being able to restore you and get you ready to recover for the next training session," Daley said.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/guides/health/diet-nutrition/best-food-to-eat-after-workout">Nutrition experts</a> recommend eating protein and carbohydrates after a workout. Carbs help replenish glycogen stores, while protein helps repair and rebuild muscle fibers. How much a person needs varies, though.A large body of research has found it's unnecessary to <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link c-link--underline" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/best-time-to-eat-protein-to-build-muscle-2019-10">eat protein</a> within the hour following a workout to achieve muscle gains. Dietitians previously told BI that <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link c-link--underline" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/5-tips-for-eating-protein-for-weight-loss-muscle-gain-2021-2">overall protein intake</a> is more important and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="c-link c-link--underline" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/protein-timing-after-workout-training-dietitian-advice-2022-3">spreading it out over the course of the day</a>, including after a workout, is effective for muscle growth and recovery.<h2 id="4848e204-156b-458a-a280-54bf5eee1d00">He prioritizes prepping meals and snacks</h2>Daley said that to hit his 20-20-20 target, he eats convenient snacks, like protein bars or shakes, and whole foods, such as Greek yogurt and an apple. Sometimes he grabs boiled eggs or a tuna sandwich.Daley said he's a fan of simple recipes that don't take too long to prepare and that his husband — the screenwriter, producer, and director Dustin Lance Black — and their two children will also enjoy."I do like to prep <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mediterranean-diet-salad-recipes-delicious-2023-5">salads</a> for the week every Monday," Daley said. "So I go to the store, and I have mason jars that I fill up with a salad for each day when I'm training, just to make it super easy to stick to that routine and stay consistent."He likes to cook enough for the family to have leftovers to eat the next day, and he meal preps to support his training and schedule."If you're able to just spend a couple of hours preparing what you might need for the rest of the week so you don't have to do it every day, it's those little things that, in the long run, will make it easier to stick to what you need to do," Daley said.<h2 id="4d0d5e38-0905-40f0-b6e1-07e09cebbc7a">Daley juggles training and childcare</h2>Daley said that when he decided he'd compete in Paris, "there was a big ramp up from nothing to training again."As a dad of two young boys, Daley, like many parents, is constantly juggling tasks. While in his younger years he trained twice a day, he now does one 3 1/2-hour session six days a week to fit in childcare and school drop-offs.At the Paris Games, Daley is set to compete in only the synchronized diving event, whereas previously he competed in the synchronized and individual events. He said that maintaining a consistent training routine helps him stay motivated, determined, and committed.Daley said he was in the "home stretch" of preparations and had learned to train smarter, not harder, to avoid injury now that he's older."If you need to make a training session a little bit easier because you're not feeling it today, that's totally fine," he said.<h2 id="f36031b2-e5a4-4a29-807e-ffe3f5cfe461">Perspective helps Daley deal with pressure</h2>Looking back at his first Olympics, in 2008, Daley said he felt he didn't really know what he was doing and so simply enjoyed the experience.He said that in 2016 and 2021, competing felt more "intense," and he felt anxious about making mistakes."I spent lots of my youth really figuring out how to be able to deal with the pressure of a competition when you only get one shot every four years," Daley said. "I was almost torturing myself through the whole experience rather than being able to enjoy the moment that I had worked so hard for."The roller coaster that was Tokyo 2020 — the events were postponed for a year because of the coronavirus pandemic — helped Daley realize there's only so much he can control."I think the way that I was able to then perform at my best was to realize that I'm more than just a diver," he said. "I'm a dad, I'm a husband, I'm a son, a brother, a friend."I like to knit, I like to crochet, I like to try and do as much as I can in the LGBTQ+ activism space, all of those things. When you realize that you're more than just what you do, I think it allows you to be content with whatever happens in the competition."Additional reporting by Mykenna Maniece.

<ul class="summary-list"><li><keyword id="250191" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Tom-Daley">Tom Daley</keyword> became an overnight sensation as a British Olympian in 2008.</li><li>He won bronze at the 2012 Games, and again in 2016. When he won gold Tuesday, there were tears.</li><li>We're not crying. You're crying.</li></ul>The end of Tom Daley's wait for an elusive Olympic gold medal was made sweeter as his husband and mom reacted adorably at home.The British diver became an overnight sensation when he qualified for the Beijing Games in 2008, aged 14.He won back-to-back bronze medals at the 2012 Games in London, and the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro, but as a gold medalist in the European Championships and World Championships through the years, he longed for the same color medal at the Olympics.On Tuesday, at <a href="https://www.insider.com/category/tokyo-2020" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Tokyo Games</a>, his wait was over as the 27-year-old - alongside teammate Matty Lee - <a href="https://www.insider.com/tom-daley-wins-an-olympic-gold-medal-with-emotional-victory-2021-7">nailed the men's synchronized 10-meter diving event.</a>The pair dived impeccably throughout the event, topping the leaderboard after four dives, and then staying there to the end with a total score of 471.81 - edging China's Cao Yuan and Chen Aisen.Long motivated by his pursuit of the gold, Daley's Olympic journey had previously been one of narrow misses, earning bronze medals. Away from sport, tragedy hit when his father Robert, died aged 40 of cancer in 2011.Growing up, he was bullied out of one school, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/jul/26/tom-daley-tokyo-olympic-diving-glory-team-gb" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as The Guardian's writer Donald McRae reported</a>.But never wavering from his desire to be an Olympic champion, Daley's determination has for years engulfed Britain.And there was a clear and widespread emotional outpouring when the athlete had finally achieved what he had set out to do since he was a child.He had won.With British flags stuck to the wall behind them, his mother Debbie, and Daley's husband, Dustin Lance Black, could not hold back their joy as they celebrated raucously.Watch them react right here:Debbie and Dustin were not the only ones to react with such emotion, as Daley himself could be seen weeping while wearing a coronavirus mask, when he was later awarded with that long-awaited gold medal.And, <a href="https://www.insider.com/tom-daley-wins-an-olympic-gold-medal-with-emotional-victory-2021-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">as Insider reported at the time</a>, a TV reporter for the BBC called Nick Hope could be heard crying live on air.Daley returns for the individual men's 10-meter platform dive in a preliminary round that begins Friday at the Tokyo Aquatics Center in Japan.

Daley, who rose to fame after qualifying for the 2008 Olympic games in Brazil, <a href="https://www.insider.com/who-is-tom-daley-diver-british-influencer-2021-7">is also a YouTuber with more than 900,000 subscribers</a>. "It's been such a crazy rollercoaster ride," Daley said while introducing the clip that was posted on Tuesday. "I mean, I've been diving for 20 years, four Olympic games, and many events and many attempts at trying to win an Olympic gold medal and this guy rocks up on his first Olympic games, first time ever competing at the Olympics and wins gold. Genuinely can't believe it and it's been so incredible."Later in the video Daley, 27, revealed he'd planned a surprise for his 10-meter synchronized diving partner Lee upon their return to the Olympic village on Monday. "I had a little plan I'd brought out with me for a little present for Matty," Daley said, before showing a clip of him bringing Lee a gift-wrapped ring box on the evening after their win.According to <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/i-know-i-m-50-of-the-team-matty-lee-happy-to-be-the-other-guy-in-winning-partnership-with-tom-daley-stkjjp505">The Times of London</a>, Lee, who is 23, became Daley's synchronized diving partner in 2018.In the video clip, Lee appears to carefully unwrap the gift while remarking that he "might know" what Daley has gifted him. A camera close-up finally reveals the gift to be a gold ring featuring the symbolic Olympic five rings. Daley, who started competing at the Olympics at the age of 14, also said he'd planned to gift the ring to Lee before they even arrived in Tokyo and had bought himself a matching piece of jewelry. <div type="image" title="Tom Daley and Matty Lee show off their matching Olympic golden ring jewellery after they won gold medals in diving on Monday." height="738" width="1542" msid="84824869" hostid="261"></div>Daley, who married <a href="https://www.insider.com/tom-daley-dustin-lance-black-relationship-timeline-2021-7">Dustin Lance Black</a> in 2017, is then seen comparing his wedding band to his Olympic gold ring and affectionately calling Lee his "work husband."In a post-competition <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/57966599">interview with BBC</a> on Monday, the Olympic gold medalist spoke about how his partnership with Lee was instrumental in bringing home a gold medal."Lots of people would have counted me out but I'm in the best shape and with the support with Matty, we've had that unstoppable mentality this year and that's the first time I've ever been able to think like that," Daley said. Representatives for Daley did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

He continued to The Telegraph, saying: "It can be quite daunting and scary for people, especially in sports where the fanbases might not be as accepting. I didn't realise the impact it would have on people around the world to live as myself. I feel extremely proud of that."<div type="image" title="British diver Tom Daley biting his Tokyo Olympic gold medal" height="2061" width="2748" msid="85139589" hostid="261"></div>Daley <a href="https://www.insider.com/tom-daley-hopes-inspire-young-lgtbq-people-tokyo-olympics-win-2021-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">won his first Olympic gold medal alongside Matty Lee</a> in the men's synchronized 10-meter diving event in Tokyo.

Leading up to the ceremony, media outlets thought it would be a star-studded event, but it turns out, the couple only had 19 of their closest friends in attendance. They both wore Zac Posen outfits - DeGeneres in pants and a blouse, while de Rossi wore a backless gown. The house was lit with candles and they sat on pillows on the floor when they said their vows, <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/inside-ellen-and-portias-wedding/">according to Jess Cagle at People</a>. Motivational speaker Wayne Dyer officiated the wedding and shared some inspiring words."Today we have taken a giant step forward toward the ideal that all of us, with no exceptions, are not only created equal, but we each have the unalienable right to pursue our own happiness," Dyer said at the ceremony, according <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Bmi7PWVg39C/?utm_source=ig_embed">to a post on DeGeneres' Instagram</a>.<h2>Neil Patrick Harris married his longtime partner David Burtka in a private wedding in Italy with some special guests</h2>In September 2014, the couple said their vows in Perugia, Italy, after <a href="https://www.insider.com/neil-patrick-harris-and-david-burtka-relationship-timeline-2018-10">being together for 10 years</a> and fathering twins. Although the ceremony was private, it was revealed that the <a href="https://people.com/celebrity/neil-patrick-harris-marries-david-burtka/">two wore Tom Ford suits</a> and that "How I Met Your Mother" director <a href="https://people.com/celebrity/neil-patrick-harris-marries-david-burtka/">Pam Fryman officiated the ceremony</a>.

Their twins, Harper and Gideon, also participated in the ceremony. Gideon was supposed to be the ring bearer but he refused. Instead, he said he wanted to be "orange boy," so they let him hand out oranges as he walked down the aisle, <a href="https://www.eonline.com/news/576794/neil-patrick-harris-and-david-burtka-s-son-was-the-orange-boy-not-the-ring-bearer-new-details">Ripa told E!

This time the ceremony was much smaller, but still, celebrities like David and Victoria Beckham and Ed Sheeran attended. The latter ceremony was filled with roses and contemporary art, while the couple's twin sons acted as ring bearers. Wild mushroom soup, beef short rib, onion pie, chocolate pudding, and ice cream were served along with Laurent-Perrier champagne, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-30568634">according to the BBC</a>.<h2>Samira Wiley and Lauren Morelli's wedding was all about 'celebration and Funfetti'</h2>In March 2017, "Orange Is the New Black" actress Wiley married Morelli, who writes for the show. They tied the knot in Palm Springs where they both wore custom Christian Siriano, who also attended the wedding. Their ceremony featured songs like Montell Jordan's "This Is How We Do It" and Justin Bieber's "Baby.""I wanted it to be about celebration and Funfetti cake," Wiley <a href="https://www.brides.com/story/samira-wiley-opens-up-on-her-wedding-to-lauren-morelli">told Brides in 2017</a>.They spent their honeymoon in Italy. <h2>Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Justin Mikita's New York wedding was another star-studded event</h2><div type="image" title="jesse tyler ferguson and justin mikita march 2020" height="1503" width="2000" msid="87528769" hostid="261"></div>After two years of dating, "Modern Family's" Ferguson and Mikita married in a ceremony in New York City in July 2013. Screenwriter Tony Kushner officiated the event, but he <a href="https://www.popsugar.com/celebrity/Stars-Jesse-Tyler-Ferguson-NYC-Wedding-31020751">wasn't the only star to attend</a>. Eric Stonestreet, Cat Deeley, Julie Bowen, Padma Lakshmi, Rebecca Romijn, and Jerry O'Connell were also there."We really want a great mixologist for a craft cocktail bar," Mikita <a href="https://people.com/celebrity/jesse-tyler-ferguson-justin-mikita-wed/">told People earlier that year</a>. "There are some great New York speakeasies, like Milk and Honey. So we're trying to bring a cool vibe like that to our wedding."The couple also asked that instead of wedding gifts for people to donate to Tie The Knot, which worked to legalize same-sex marriage in the US.<h2>Tom Daley and Dustin Lance Black held their wedding at a castle in England</h2>In May 2017, Daley, an Olympic diver, married his partner Black, a Hollywood screenwriter. The two wed just 30 miles from Daley's hometown in Plymouth, England, at Bovey Castle Hotel.There were 120 people who attended, coming from as far as Texarkana."Obviously, the location was incredible but everything else was really relaxed, it was just so normal," Daley wrote in a social media post, <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-devon-39846355">according to the BBC</a>.The London Gay Men's Choir sang "Marry You" by Bruno Mars during the wedding and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/reviews/out?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mirror.co.uk%2F3am%2Fcelebrity-news%2Finside-tom-daley-dustin-lance-10377251">Daley even reportedly baked the cake himself</a>. <h2>Lance Bass has described his wedding to Michael Turchin as 'unique'</h2>In December 2014, Bass said "I do" with his partner Turchin at the Park Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles in front of 300 people, including Darren Criss, Christina Applegate, Gabourey Sidibe, and Lisa Vanderpump. "There were a lot of things we wanted to add into this wedding that are very unique," Bass <a href="https://people.com/celebrity/lance-bass-and-michael-turchin-inside-our-wedding/">told People in 2014</a>. For starters, they didn't have a wedding party and didn't have a flower girl. Instead, they had supermodels walk down the aisle as their flower girls. They also wanted the color scheme to be more masculine, so they incorporated dark reds and purples into the wedding. Although Bass decided not to perform at his wedding, his former NSYNC bandmates JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick were all in attendance. Chasez even performed during the wedding.<h2>Melissa Etheridge sang an original song for her wife, Linda Wallem, at their wedding</h2>After four years together, Etheridge and Wallem, a TV producer, <a href="https://people.com/celebrity/melissa-etheridge-weds-linda-wallem-shares-photo/">tied the knot in 2014</a> in an outdoor ceremony at the San Ysidro Ranch in California.

In December 2013, on the night of New Year's Eve, the two said their vows in a very private ceremony at a friend's house.They tried their best to keep the wedding a secret because they didn't want any media coverage.

"We didn't have any rings, so I went into our jewelry and was digging out rings. I said, 'We have to have some kind of rings!'"

While Hilton originally named the TikToker, he later <a href="https://twitter.com/ThePerezHilton/status/1253028593770229760?s=20">deleted the tweet with his name</a> in it. He went <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr45EkdGeUo&amp;feature=youtu.beu.be">live on YouTube</a> on April 22, saying, "I really regret mentioning this 16-year-old's name because... he may have been drinking, he's not an adult."Since Hilton brought up the video, people online have been discussing both the alleged incident in question and the normalization of similar age gaps between gay men.Others have discussed the potential legality of the interaction.<a href="https://twitter.com/ThePerezHilton/status/1253487820389277697?s=20">According to Hilton</a>, the video was filmed at a diving meet in Beijing, China, in March 2019, when the Tiktoker in question was 15 (and Daley would have been 24). The <a href="https://www.fpa.org.uk/factsheets/law-on-sex#age-consent">age of consent</a> in the United Kingdom, where Daley is from, is 16. <a href="https://aspe.hhs.gov/report/statutory-rape-guide-state-laws-and-reporting-requirements-summary-current-state-laws/sexual-intercourse-minors">In the United States</a>, it varies from 16 to 18 dependent on the state. <a href="https://www.economist.com/china/2020/04/23/the-push-to-raise-chinas-age-of-consent-from-14">In China</a>, where Hilton said that the video was filmed, it is 14.Hilton, whose real name is Mario Armando Lavandeira Jr., was faced with scrutiny upon first publishing the tweet. He reasserted that video depicted Daley on Twitter, saying, <a href="https://twitter.com/ThePerezHilton/status/1253025391133945856?s=20">"It's definitely him. 100%" in one tweet</a>. In the April 22 live on YouTube, he doubled down, asserting that it was indeed Daley and the unnamed TikToker in the video."All I can confirm is that I saw this video and it is Tom Daley in the video, and it is this other person. [...] For those of you who didn't believe me, I came through with receipts," he said, also sharing multiple screenshots that he said are from the video in question. Hilton also explained in the YouTube live video, which is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr45EkdGeUo&amp;feature=youtu.beu.be">currently available to watch in full</a>, that he hadn't shared the video because the other person in the video was "16 and may have been 15 at the time," also <a href="https://twitter.com/ThePerezHilton/status/1253036800056020993?s=20">saying on Twitter</a> that "posting [the video] could be considered child p*rn."Additionally, he speculated that it was possible that Daley could have bought the footage, which would have hypothetically left Hilton open to be sued for copyright violation should he have shared it.A competitor in the 2008, 2012, and 2016 Olympic games, Daley is also an influencer, frequently posting vlogs and workout videos to his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/tvtomdaley/videos">YouTube channel</a>, where he currently has over 850,000 subscribers.
