Daley and diving partner Matty Lee took home the gold medal for the UK in the synchronised 10 metres platform at the Olympic Games in Tokyo on Monday.
This is the 27-year-old’s third Olympic medal after winning bronze at the London and Rio Games. Daley’s gleeful husband, the Oscar-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black, tweeted: “No words!
So so many tears! @TomDaley1994 you’re an OLYMPIC CHAMPION! Congratulations Tom and @MattyLee!” Due to Covid-19 restrictions, Black was not able to join his husband in Tokyo to see his achievement in person.
