Olympic freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy has become engaged to his boyfriend, Andrew Rigby. The proposal took place off the coast of Mallorca, Spain, during a vacation. Kenworthy orchestrated a surprise for Rigby, taking him on a boat trip to a secluded island.
Upon reaching the island's summit, a picnic and margaritas awaited them. Kenworthy then proposed, much to Rigby's shock. The couple had been dating for two years and had navigated a long-distance relationship previously.
Following the proposal, they celebrated with six friends who were waiting on another boat. Both exchanged Cartier 1895 wedding bands, with Kenworthy choosing gold and Rigby opting for platinum. The pair first met briefly in Sydney and reconnected in 2024.
Rigby supported Kenworthy during his return to Olympic competition in the 2026 Winter Olympics. Kenworthy expressed gratitude for Rigby's support during that time. The couple has not yet announced a wedding date.
