Olympic Diver Matthew Mitcham Marries Boyfriend Luke Rutherford

Olympic gold medal-winning diver Matthew Mitcham married his boyfriend Luke Rutherford in a fairytale wedding.

“After a sustained period of lovely gestures, loyalty, gazing adoringly and many trips to Ikea, I managed to trick Luke into falling in love with me,” Mitcham shared in a post in social media. 

Proposing to me and finally marrying me. Now he's stuck with me forever and ever.’

In a recent interview, when asked about the ceremony, Mitcham described it as “beautiful”, adding “I was crying for basically the entire ceremony.”


Unfortunately, not all of Mitcham’s family members were able to make it to the wedding, but his loving husband planed a touching gesture for him. 

“Luke organised a big surprise video montage of messages from people who couldn't make it,” Mitcham said.  

As ‘Daily Mail’ reports, Mitcham was the first openly gay athlete to win an Olympic gold medal when he came out before winning the 10-metre platform event at the 2008 Beijing games.
