Tom Daley’s Boyfriend Is, Allegedly, Dustin Lance Black

As of yesterday my money was definitely on someone younger, but according to “sources” who spoke “exclusively” with Entertainment Weekly, Tom Daley’s new boyfriend is Oscar-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black. Who is twice his age. Plus one.

The Sun in London may have actually broken the news, with the supposed “friend” telling the paper that Tom is “besotted with Dustin.” *

As I suggested yesterday, knowing that Lance (as his friends actually call him) and Tom were spotted a couple months back at a Coffee Bean in L.A., this would align with a) Lance’s penchant for dating extremely young, twinky guys, and b) Tom’s comment about feeling “safe,” which I’d associate with someone older.

A lot older.

Twice his age.

Plus one.

Anyway, I’m super fucking happy for them. Really happy for Lance, especially, who at 39 already has an Oscar, and plenty of money from his constant LGBT speaking gigs, and can have any piece of ass he ever dreamed of in the region of Southern California — which, in case you didn’t know, is chock full of Grade-A-excellent and prize-worthy pieces of ass — but he had to go to London and get some Olympic medal-winning diver-and-TV-star ass, because he can.

For Tom’s sake, given he is young and naive and inexperienced, I hope that Lance goes easy on him and his perfect, diver’s ass, and doesn’t cast poor Tom aside in six months, as he’s probably been doing with twinks since the late 90s. If that were even possible. Because this is Tom Daley we’re talking about. And it’s not going to get much more perfect. And how awesome is it to be turning 40 and still banging 19 year olds? Admittedly. That is awesome. The entire homosexual and teenage-girl universe is counting on you, Lance, to make this one work. Because if you break Tom Daley’s heart, there will certainly be hell to pay. On Twitter, and every-fucking-where. Count on it.

* And I’m still kind of skeptical about this, actually, especially since that “friend” didn’t even know to call him Lance, and not Dustin, and because there’s this guy in the mix, who seems like way better boyfriend material.

  1. I still don’t understand why the gay porno set has spent the last year trying to convince everyone Daley is the hottest thing ever.

    Like. He doesn’t even crack the top 20 of hot Olympic divers, let alone life in general. Though I guess when it comes to twinks, the most important thing has always been that they’re twinks. Not that they’re, you know, actually hot.

    1. Are you at all aware of who Tom Daley is? He is a Olympic champion British diver, not a porn actor. The fact that he is attractive and has a large gay following even before this story hit the media, does not put him in the category of porn star material. Go ahead and jerk off on whoever you fantasize about…. Glaucoma has apparently set in for you.

  2. Daley on The Jonathan Ross Show – “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.”

    Ummm, if it is DLB then this is a load of SHIT. No possible way he didn’t know that DLB was gay.

    1. Tom was only 15 when Dustin got Oscar and little media coverage in the UK. Belive it or not, a lot of people don’t know who Dustin is. Even in the gay community he’s pretty much unknown in the UK. He is not high-profile gay celebrities like Elton John. And Tom is just coming to terms with his sexuality so probably he didn’t pay that much attention to LGBT rights issues before.

  3. Am i missing something? Why all the Dustin-Lance Black hate? Black is 39, Daley is 19. Ok, yes a large age difference, but so what? This isn’t the first time in history this has been done. Either way they’re both adults, so wtf does it matter? Lance is pretty fit, dumb haircut but otherwise cute guy. Yes he barebacked with is boyfriend. I have too because he was my fucking boyfriend and we were in love and committed. Yes, bitches cheat and it was risky, but hey love and desire make you take risks and leaps of faith. Has Black done or said something to upset the gay community. I just want to know why there is overwhelming negativity towards Black. Is it just because he’s older?

    1. Its because he’s a lame twink-baiter who can’t embrace his own aging process and now Tom is thinking he’s the greatest thing since eyebrow tweezers while everyone is screaming: no! Omg! No! Get out of there! from the sidelines (Kind of like being in the audience at a horror movie)…so hence the vitriol.

        1. I was really hoping for Liam! (They would have been adorbs together and inspired a whole generation). Instead, we get “welcome to the wax museum and house of horrors, please form a single line on the left behind the rope…”

  4. Some of you seem to discount the fact that Tom Daley is a World Champion and Olympic Bronze Medalist. He’s also made numerous television appearances. Anyone that can handle that type of pressure probably isn’t a naïve victim.

    1. Naive is what your logic is for sure regardless of Toms various achievements that you think bestow him omnipotent wisdom and relationship experience.

    1. OneofTheManyChris

      There were some pics which were alleged to be stills from a video, but no one has ever seen the actual video, except maybe the person who made the pics.

  5. If Tom did gay porn everyone would complain what a gay faced twink he is… I do not understand the obsession. Also, Dustin looks good for 39… He clearly lied to be about his age by about ten years when he fucked me in 05. He has a really ugly tattoo on his calf and a very small penis. Cant say he was a nice guy… Sorry Dustin. A lot of small cocks in power in Hollywood.

    1. You mean he actually tops people? His sex pics from a few years back (which he apologized for publicly) are easily .searchable.on-line. Google “tom (whatever his name is) nude” and follow the Theseusian string. (His dick didnt look that small btw (but of course you are a size queen and who’s not) but it was terribly KNOBBY yuck I.d rather suck/sit-on a well-shaped dildo than that gross thing.

  6. With Robbie Rogers dating Hollywood TV producer Greg Berlanti and now Tom Daly dating Dustin Lance Black I can only assume that the members of the Velvet Mafia have a bet going about who scores the hottest and most famous boytoy for the whole wide world to see.

    I think the times of the rich, influential, and famous A-List Gays having a gay or gay for pay pornstar as boytoy have passed.

  7. Why is a 39 year old wearing a (played out) One Direction hair style? Does he wear slouchy pants with his boxers sticking out too? And what can they possibly have in common and/or have to talk about?

  8. considering this is all speculation at this point…all of these comments are hilarious to read.

    how is lance dating tom a problem for people on this board?

    you bitches are SO jealous.

    Good for you lance, I’d tap that ass too(condom-only) if I’d have the opportunity. Which all negative commentators seem to want to do as well.

    And did you read the Greg Louganis open letter?!? – you know he totally feels like: shit, why couldn’t I have met you twenty years ago…just read the letter he makes a reference to being the same age as his dad.

  9. So Tom just tweeted that who he is dating shouldn’t matter. Rather than just answer the question, he dodged it. He’s not be advised right. Who he is dating IS a big deal because he is a celeb and he JUST made a coming out video. He’s invited this scrutiny. To not just be forthcoming tells us that he realizes that him dating barebacker DLB will be viewed negatively. The letter DLB is gonna write after it’s revealed will be epic. EPIC!

  10. Tom surely deserves much better than the skank that is ‘Lance’.
    I
    He seems like a really nice kid, and in all his interviews seems week grounded. I hope this thing in Hollywood doesn’t hurt his values and self-worth. I’m thinking Daley is being used as a prop and arm jewelry. I hope he guards his heart.

    I only wish Tom the best and heartfelt support living in such a fishbowl in the cruel world of celebrity as he does.

  11. Predator=Dustin Lance Black… Victim:Tom Daley.. The question is how badly Duncan a 39 yr old is going to ruin 19 yr old Tom Daley’s life. This is the same guy who had his infamous bareback sex video leaked by a ex lover. Not only is it disturbing for any 40 yr old to be chasing after teenagers, Duncan Lance Black may contribute to the stereotype that some of the public have of gay men as predators chasing after teenage boys. This will not end well. This high profile relationship will threaten a lot of Tom’s endorsement deals no doubt. Sad.. Sad.. Sad.

    1. I just read an article (US Weekly) that claims Dustin wrote Tom’s coming out statement for him. Tom is putty in his hands.

  12. Ewe, I am tired of the lil queens using that “term” when they see an older guy with a younger guy. Get over it bitches.
    Now, having said that, I want to wish Tom well and hope he is not being used by Black to get another “Out” athlete. Tom seems like a real sweet kid and being used might really hurt, especially, after coming out in
    such a public way.

  13. Creepy. If true this is some creepy fucking shit. Dustin as old as Tom’s dad who passed away in 2011. They are rumored to have met at the Teen Choice Awards. THE FUCKING TEEN. CHOICE. AWARDS. Dustin and his bareback history — no fucking wonder Tom’s grandparents said they were concerned for Tom. They should be.

    GROSS!

    What is with divers and their daddy issues? Matt Mitcham is also dating a guy 20+ years older than him. FUCKED UP.

    1. Um, Matt’s BF Lachlan is not 20+ years older than him. I think the difference is not quite 16 years.

      The age difference is not excessively freaky. DLB’s history is the thing that I find way more freaky, but if they are happy and it is what Tom wants, I say more power to them. It isn’t my place or the place of society to judge or put boundaries on their relationship so long as it isn’t violent or abusive. They are both of legal age. Tom is an adult even if he is only 19. I wish people would stop treating this like a 50 year old creepy straight guy preying on a 14 year old blonde schoolgirl. It isn’t that. He may look 14, but he’s not. He may act 14 at times, but I know 28 year olds that do too. He’s an adult and if he falls in love with Lance, that is his right. If it is truly love, we should be congratulating him not engaging in a borderline gay self-loathing bitchfest.

  14. usually when 40 year olds date 19 y/o….the 19 y/o is unknown and being a go go boy at some club……tom may be more famous than dustin ……if they are a couple ..i am sure it will not end well

  15. Eeeow, eeeow, eeow. I know straight guys do this all the time…but a 19 year old? REALLY?
    The sound of Tom’s heart shattering in 3…2…

    1. The sad part of this is that Tom Daley fell this guy who has a history of chasing after twinks. Tom Daley has so much potential to be a positive role model for GLBTQ youth around the world, an Olympic medalist who’s achievements will be marred and overshadowed by this relationship. Duncan Lance Black should have known better.

      1. What gay man would dump on a community of 10k of his own people but someone chock full of self-hatred for being gay? Go see a shrink; you need help bad.

  16. I don’t think in today’s age that it is fair to dump on anyone for an age difference in a relationship. It is common and accepted with women and female celebrity so should not be treated as some scandal if its a male. Secondly this is far from news in the male gay world, age gaps that is. All the best to Tom and Dustin if true.
