Adam Rippon(II)

Has been in a committed relationship with his long term Finnish boyfriend Jussi-Pekka Kajaala since 2018, and has stated so publicly on several occasions and to several publications, including US Magazine (April 28, 2019); The Human Rights Campaign 2019 Los Angeles Gala; and he made it "Instagram Official" on his own Instagram account in 2018.

[on coming out as a gay athlete at the PyeongChang Olympics, 2018] It's so important if I have a platform that I use it. For a long time I thought that if I shared my story, I might not be accepted. But I gained so much confidence from it. When you are really able to embrace yourself, the whole world opens up and it's so liberating. I think I lost 400 pounds of stress after I did it. I felt...free.
