Gus Kenworthy's Secret Past Mirrors TV Hockey Romance

Olympic freeskier Gus Kenworthy has shared how the television series 'Heated Rivalry' deeply resonated with his personal experiences. Kenworthy, who came out as gay more than a decade ago, found significant parallels between his life and the show's narrative.

He specifically mentioned relating to the depiction of secret relationships and clandestine meetings shown in the series. Kenworthy drew a striking comparison between his own rumored past romance with celebrity Miley Cyrus and an onscreen fling within 'Heated Rivalry.'

"Miley Cyrus was my own Rose," Kenworthy stated, referring to a character in the show. He explained that while being linked to someone as successful and beautiful as Cyrus was appealing, it was not the same as being with a man. This reflection highlights the profound impact of seeing oneself reflected onscreen in a substantial way.
