After four year together, Olympian Gus Kenworthy and actor Matthew Wilkas have split up “amicably.” This was confirmed by a representative of the couple to People. According to the rep, Kenworthy, 27, and Wilkas, 41, “remain close friends: and that they still “love and support each other.”
Kenworthy and Wilkas first got in touch with each other through Instagram, after Kenworthy sent the actor a direct message on the app. Kenworthy had previously seen Wilkas in the movie Gayby, and said that he found him “funny and cute.”
Kenworthy talked to People about how the two of them followed each other on Instagram, saying: “I remembered his name, and then a little while later on the popular page of Instagram his profile came up — and he makes these really stupid little videos on his Instagram, but they’re very funny and they’re very endearing and so I followed him and he followed me back.”
Before this breakup announcement, it was more than a month since both were feature in each other’s Instagram feeds. Last month, Kenworthy and Wilkas participated in the AIDS/LifeCycle 2019. The pair, along with more than 2,000 cyclists, went on a week-long 545-mile trip from San Francisco to Los Angeles. On his Instagram, Wilkas thanked all those who donated to the campaign, and trumpeted the $17 million raised by AIDS/LifeCycle.
“I will never forget this week and I’m so proud for all that has been accomplished,” he wrote.
The couple also drew attention during the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in South Korea, when the pair shared a kiss before Kenworthy’s qualifying run. In an interview with Time, Wilkas minimized the kiss, saying it was more “like a peck,” but admitted that it was probably historic.
“It’s unusual, right?” Wilkas said to the magazine. “It’s good that it’s televised because it normalizes it more. I would imagine it would be a huge moment for a young gay kid to see an awesome athlete so open and proud of himself and not caring what anyone thinks of his sexuality.”
So the gay drama has played out and there is no more bang for the spectacle. Two people that are already on the verge of being “Who?” when someone mentions their names.
Yeah not everybody knows everybody, but that’s fine if you don’t know them…You are missing out!
Perhaps Dave, but no everyone is a celebrity follower. I for example am grounded in the real world, and have a life that doesn’t involve tv or celebrities. No offence but they are in no way important enough to me of my life.
On the off chance no one has said this to you recently: you’re a cunt and a hater, and you should probably seek counseling so you can finally get over the years of childhood molestation that turned you into such a spiteful little bitch.
Verge? I’ve never heard of either of them before. The best this site can do is c-list gossip?
Hennnnny, they are very known in the gay sphere… not my fault if you don’t know them.
One is an Olympic athlete and one is an actor.
Now we can all dial them both up for a hookups! Hot damn!
Who?
Why does either of them even have a rep? I had to Google their names
Being undetectable isn’t the same as being cured. It just means they cam’t count to 1!
“DAVE Reply
Hennnnny, they are very known in the gay sphere…”
That’s the point. After appropriating the Olympics to further the LGTBQ agenda, Gus faded shortly thereafter and Matthew has had a some news in acting. But neither has stepped into the everyday mainstream. And now they’re only noteworthy because of ending their gay relationship. Couples end relationships every day…without the media noticing. This ending is similarly uneventful.
Good why are you reading it and commenting a 7 lines paragraph on it then? lol
I think you love them and really care about their breakup!

If you feel as such, no response would have been the most appropriate choice.
I lost all respect for Gus when he appropriated the Olympics not only for his LGBT agenda, but for his political agenda. Nothing I hate more that athletes politicizing something that was created to transcend politics.
So who should do it? Who should stand up for those who don’t have a voice? Who should use the power they have for the betterment of humanity? A truck driver from New Jersey will not be heard or cared about, he is looked at as a nobody and nobody will listen or remembered but if lebron James stands up for the rights of others ,people will listen… you sound like one of those evil hateful right wing nut jobs who want to silence all voices they don’t like… if rich/famous people can help make a difference and do something… Read more »
It’s not always easy to stay in-love, sometimes you out-grow each other, at-least, it lasted as long as it did! Additionally, I think that it’s great they still love each other as supportive friends, too, there’s a great deal of value in that.
This is noteworthy because they are gay, out, “public persons”. There are very, very, very few out athletes at any level and few out gay folks in the entertainment industry. They said “F’it” and live their lives honestly and openly regardless of if it hurts their career. The media exposure of their career and relationship is good for the LGBTQ community. Beyond that, yes, who cares.
So they didn’t try the open relationship thingy? I had an open relationship once in SF. Unfortunately I wasn’t aware of it at the time……
Suppose it’s interesting that both men are accomplished in their fields. But in the end who really cares. Surprised how many responses this got. Including from me…
Between this worldwide game changer news of some thing no one but a YMCA Folsom street homo Klone would know about, and
LOL, brain safeguard tiering activated.
No clue what pointless Nancyboy crap I tried to fake-babble about.
Not meant for real men like this posting Clan
