Meet Adam Umhoefer, Gus Kenworthy Partner
Gus Kenworthy is reportedly dating his boyfriend Adam Umhoefer who is a foundation executive at Creative Artists Agency. “Gus and Adam have been in a committed relationship for over two years,” a source revealed to E! News. “They live together and Adam will be cheering on Gus from home during the Beijing Olympics.”
The insider also revealed that Gus and his partner, Adam like to maintain privacy when it comes to their relationship. And, also shared that they love and support one another endlessly. Adam was previously spotted cheering Adam during The X Games in Aspen. Photographer Douglas Friedman shared pictures of the two kissing after one of Gus’ runs at the sports competition.
He captioned, “Thank you @guskenworthy for a truly inspiring and awesome [sic] night at The X Games.”
Gus “came out” in 2015 in the ESPN interview.
“When I came out publicly, I had just started dating a guy, and he kind of ended up being my mentor in a lot of ways and helped usher me into the community because I had been so actively avoiding it,” Gus revealed in “Coming Out Colton” episode 1. “And I wouldn’t have been able to do it without him. So I’m sort of excited to be that same thing for Colton, in a way.”
When he came out, Gus was dating actor Matt Wilkas who met each other through Instagram. He told, “I’d seen Matt in the movie Gayby, and he’d popped up on my Instagram with these videos he makes … I followed him, he followed me back, and I wrote him this long message on Instagram [inviting him to coffee],” Kenworthy told Out magazine in 2016.
They met each other only a year later but hit it off immediately. Matt accompanied Gus to the 2018 Olympics. They continued dating for four years before calling it quit in July 2019. At the time Matt lived in New York and Gus trained and competed in Denver. Gus cited their long-distance relationship as the reason behind their breakup because it was difficult to maintain their relationship.
Gus’s former partners also included Robin McDonald whom he started dating when he was just 18. They stayed together for the next five years.
