This just in: Adam Rippon is in love. Like, seriously.
The figure skater first revealed he had a boyfriend last month on Instagram when he shared a picture of himself with Finnish-born Jussi-Pekka Kajaalaa along with the caption, “Good boys Finnish ?? first”.
In an interview with PEOPLE, he explained the pair had had talked for “seven months” before finally making it official, adding that the relationship was still “fresh.”
Well now, he says, things are getting serious. Like, seriously serious.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Rippon recently told Extra that he met his hot Finnish boyfriend on Tinder while attending a skating competition in the north Europe country “many months ago.”
When asked if Kajaala still lives in Finland, Rippon, currently kicking ass on Dancing with the Stars, responded: “He does, but he’s actually moving out here.”
The presenter then asked: “Oh, so [it’s] serious?”
To which Rippon simply responded: “Yes.”
Watch.

Onecaddy13: Clearly you care or you wouldn’t have read the story and taken the time to comment on it. I care as well, because he’s cool, outspoken and rather smart. Perhaps, even smart enough to know that there is no reason on earth to use an apostrophe after “cares” in your comment.

You’re just the kind of commenter that makes this site abrasive and unattractive to visit. If you want to be destructive towards one of the greatest gay heroes of our time I’d suggest you take your dirty underwear elsewhere, i.e. anywhere but online.
