The couple announced theirengagementin London’sThe Timesin October 2015. “It turns out that we had both asked each other’s parents, and we both had rings ready to go,” Daley toldOutmagazine in February 2016.
The pair latertied the knotin May 2017 at Bovey Castle in Daley’s native England, about 30 miles away from his hometown of Plymouth, before later honeymooning in Spain.
A year later, Daley and Black welcomed their first child — a son namedRobert “Robbie” Ray— via surrogate. The pair announced the arrival of their son in a statement appearing in theTimes.
“Black-Daley: On 27 June 2018 to Thomas Robert Daley and Dustin Lance Black, a son, Robert Ray,” the brief statement read.
A few months later, the couple opened up in an interview withThe Telegraphabout their lives as dads to their son and how neither knows which of them is his biological father.
“That’s going to continue forever and ever,” Daley said at the time of their family members' claims of who Robbie more resembles. “But one thing we’re very strongly leaning towards is that we don’t want to know. He’s ours.”
“I don’t think we’ll ever hide anything from him, in fact I know we won’t,” Black chimed in. “That’s not just our instincts, that’s listening to the advicefrom people born of surrogacy. They say, ‘The things that bothered me are the things I wasn’t told. The things I was told don’t bother me.'”
