Kenworthy revealed that in 2014, he was linked to Miley Cyrus after he mentioned her as his celebrity crush during the Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia. This caused a stir in the media, and Cyrus even followed him on Twitter. However, Kenworthy was actually dating someone else at the time and felt conflicted about the attention.He described the situation as surreal and admitted that he was digging himself into a deeper hole. He liked Cyrus and enjoyed the flirty texts, but he also felt guilty because he was lying about his true feelings. Kenworthy considered coming out publicly if he won a gold medal, imagining himself kissing his boyfriend on the podium as a silent protest. However, he only won a silver medal and did not come out at that time. Kenworthy finally came out as gay in 2015 during an interview with ESPN. He has since moved on and is now in a relationship with Andrew Rigby. This story highlights the challenges that LGBTQ+ athletes face and the importance of being true to oneself.
