Well, it has occurred, folks.
Adam Rippon finally met up with Sally Field’s son, Sam Greisman, and there are pics to prove that it, indeed, happened.
The two guys took a selfie together at the Human Rights Campaign gala in Los Angeles over the weekend, where Rippon was presented with the group’s coveted Visibility Award.

How about we take this to the next level?

Greisman tweeted the selfie along with the caption: “Thanks, mom.”

As you might recall, Sally Field tried playing matchmaker between her son and Adam during the Olympics after Sam expressed his fondness for the figure skater.
Gonna need a gif of @Adaripp saying he just wants to focus on being America’s Sweetheart for my daily use. Please and thank you.
Also marry me Adam.

So boys, where're we watching @Adaripp tonight?

Glad so many people liked this, but if you could slide it into Adam's DMs that would be great too.

That’s when Sally stepped in with some motherly advice, which Sam then shared with his Twitter followers:
Just some really helpful advice from my mom on how to deal with my Olympic crush. pic.twitter.com/shYCXwNOMf

And after Sam posted the text exchange, Sally tagged Adam in the comments to make extra sure he saw it:

When asked in PyeongChang about the whole thing, Adam responded by saying “Sally. SHE BOLD.”
He also had a message for Sam: “Sam, your mom – I admire her. And I’m sure one day we’re going to meet! So thanks, Mom.”
And so, at long last, it has happened.
Thanks, Mom.

So, meeting someone isn’t the same as “hooking up” in the popular gay parlance.

I was thinking the same thing. All we know is that they met. Whether or not they hooked up remains to be seen.

You would think a website like this would know that.

I think that holds true in popular straight parlance, too. I’m not sure since I’m not straight, but I think that is a true statement.

Sam is attractive except for his pink fingernail polish, and I don’t see a mutual connection in the photo. Sam’s arm is around Adam but not Adam’s around Sam. And Adam’s expression looks like he’s just being polite.

^Mandrake…yup, agree about the pink nail polish…uggh. …re: Adam the “king of being entitled”…i finally youtubed and watched him skate last night. He’s a beautiful skater, I have to say – end of story. …methinks Sam could do better.

I find Sam way hotter than Queen Rippon tbh

They had a photo op at an award ceremony and probably chatted all of 30 seconds. Don’t read more into it than there is.

I can see Adam’s hand under Sam’s armpit so his arm is actually around Sam.

What makes this a “selfie,” as opposed to simply a photo?
Brian
The word has apparently evolved to mean any photo with a person in it is a selfie.
Polaro
A photo is a photo taken by a person not in the photo. A selfie is the narcissistic photo a person takes of them self. They are not the same.

ladies, we all know the old adage, 2 bottoms don’t make a top.

Somebody had to say it lol
