Gus Kenworthy's 3-Way "Sean Cody" Tweet With Shawn Mendes & Colton Haynes

Olympic skier Gus Kenworthy was crushing hard on pop star Shawn Mendes as he attended last night’s iHearRadio MMVAs this weekend.

The event, which celebrates the year’s best in music videos, brought the hunky Olympic silver medalist face to face with his celeb crush, Mendes, on the red carpet.

Before the fun, though, Kenworthy shared a totally swoon-worthy pre-game pic in a white fluffy robe complete with chest fur:


While traveling to the awards, Gus shared the amped-up anticipation of seeing his fave pop star at the event:


A short time later - there he was, Shawn Mendes, on the red carpet. Kenworthy couldn't help himself as he took a profile creeper shot of the singer, who was nominated for 8 awards at the event, by the way. #NotTooShabby


It wasn’t long before Kenworthy shared a selfie that broke gay Instagram as he posed with Mendes and what appeared to be a photobombing Colton Haynes.

Gushing Gus snapped that shot and sent it out onto the Twitterverse with the logo for porn company Sean Cody in the corner and the caption, “New video coming soon!”



On Instagram, Kenworthy shared the same pic but with a different message, shooing Haynes away from the scene, writing, “COLTON GET OUT OF OUR ENGAGEMENT PHOTO!!!”

Now, in case you’re wondering where Kenworthy’s hunky boyfriend Matt Wilkas was in all this tongue-wagging, Kenworthy assured us there’s room in his life for both Wilkas and Mendes as she shared a pic of all three together with arrows labeling Wilkas “boyfriend” and Mendes “husband.”

While Mendes has told the world he’s not gay, he is an ally and clearly happy to join the hi-jinks.

Thanks to Gus and the guys for letting us in on the fun.

Gus Kenworthy's Death-Defying Search For A Certain Celeb's Internet Nudes

Gus Kenworthy (via Instagram)

One thing the interwebs has revealed to us over the years is the almost universal thirst folks can have for discovering celebrity nudes on the internet.

Oh yes, we’re all human when it comes to checking out what our favorite stars’ might have to offer.

And the celebs themselves have the thirst as well.

This weekend woofy out Olympian Gus Kenworthy posted a series of pics to his Instagram showing him deep in thought high above the city of Interlaken, Switzerland.

“Me in the cloud searching for @zacefron’s nudes like…” was the caption accompanied by an inquisitive emoji and a smart phone and cloud.



Yes, kids, the thirst is real.

The post (which was Gus’s 1,000th Instagram post, btw) has garnered almost 80,000 likes in a day.

Besides tons of warnings for Gus to get down from the edge of the railing he was sitting on, most fans pleaded with him to share anything he might find.

“Did you find any? Asking for a friend”

“When you find them, forward my way - I won’t tell”

As well as the to-be-expected requests for his own nude pics:

“Plot twist - release your own”

“Are there any of your own up there?”

“I was just searching for yours…”

Gus has posted high-flying pics before when showing off his travels. You’ve got to love a daredevil:







In addition to the death defying photos, Kenworthy has also shared his obsession over Zac Efron with his social media followers for some time now.

Earlier this year, after reading a news item where a man claimed a prescription drug turned him gay, the freestyle skier tweeted, “*overnights lyrics to @zacefron*.”



And back in June 2017, after reading a report on Efron describing his first time kissing a guy, Gus offered to “volunteer as a tribute.”



Clearly, Gus has great taste when it comes to celeb crushes.

Is there anyone out there you've spent time searching for in the 'all-together?'

Hunky Olympic Shier Gus Kenworthy Comes Out


U.S. Olympic skier and total hottie, Gus Kenworthy, who's won in just about every major freeskier event in the world -  AFP World Championships overall titles in 2011, 2012, and 2013, won silver at the Olympics in Sochi, Russia and won his first medal, a bronze, at the X Games in Tignes, France in the slopestyle event - came out on social media and in an interview with ESPN:

Gus Kenworthy started coming out to his family and closest friends nearly two years ago. His mom said she knew. His brother said he was proud. His best friend 
voiced unrelenting support. And if Gus Kenworthy were an average 24-year-old, the announcement — the story — might have ended there.

But Gus Kenworthy is not an average 24-year-old. He is the top freeskier on the planet, an Olympic medalist, a face of the X Games. He is an elite athlete competing in the world of action sports, where sponsors — and income — are inextricably linked to image. In other words, he is an athlete with a lot to lose. But Gus Kenworthy is ready to tell that world, his sport, his truth. And so, as we sit down together in Los Angeles in September, he begins the only way he knows how: “I guess I should start by saying, ‘I’m gay.'”

Congratulations Gus! You're coming out will inspire millions.

The response from the Olympic world was universally positive:

Out Skier Gus Kenworthy Clinches Spot On 2018 Winter Olympic Team


With a second-place finish at today's Men's Freeski Slopestyle Finals, Gus Kenworthy clinched his spot on the 2018 U.S. Winter Olympic team.

He's the second openly gay man to represent the U.S. in Winter Olympics (he won silver in the 2014 Sochi Olympics but wasn't out at the time), and is the first out gay man to compete in an action sport.

Kenworthy also won the Slopestyle Finals last week at Snowmass in Colorado.

Kenworthy famously came out in 2015 to ESPN Magazine. I've written about Gus extensively - check out past posts here.

He's currently featured in a new commercial for Head & Shoulders (I posted a week ago here) and named as a brand ambassador for Proctor & Gamble.

He's currently ranked fifth among Americans in International Ski Federation rankings.

Gus joins figure skater Adam Rippon, who was named to the U.S. figure skating team last week barely beating Gus as the first openly gay man to make a U.S. Winter Olympic team.

The hunky, handsome Kenworthy is definitely worthy of a follow on his Instagram account :)

Good luck in South Korea, Gus!

I'M GOING BACK TO THE OLYMPICS!!! ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿณ️‍๐ŸŒˆ

Gus Kenworthy & Matt Wilkas "Taking Time Apart"

Gus Kenworthy & Matt Wilkas (via Instagram)

PEOPLE Magazine reports that out Olympic silver medalist Gus Kenworthy and longtime boyfriend, actor Matt Wilkas, have “decided to take a break in their relationship.”

“Gus and Matt are taking time apart,” a spokesperson for the couple told PEOPLE. “They love and support each other and remain close friends.”

The couple met via Instagram when Kenworthy reportedly messaged Wilkas in November 2015.

Kenworthy told PEOPLE that some folks found the Insta approach unusual.

“It sounds bizarre, because I’ve said it to people and they were like, ‘I didn’t know people did that,’ ” Kenworthy shared after competing at the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in South Korea.

The two exchanged messages, then exchanged phone numbers and met for a coffee date in New York City. They’ve been dating ever since.

Happy #NationalComingOutDay everybody! That doesn't mean that today is intended to pressure anybody to come out before they're ready. Instead today is a gentle reminder to us all to live our lives honestly and authentically and not allow anybody else's expectations to force us into silence. Coming out is an extremely personal journey that each person should do on their own time when they feel ready, safe and comfortable. There is no "right" way nor a right time to come out. It's all up to you! If you happen to be struggling in the closet then I hope today can be a beacon of hope for you. Click the hashtag to see and read stories of others who have walked the same trail that you're maybe now just finding yourself embarking on. Sometimes it can feel like a tough path to walk but I promise it will be worth it in the end. There is no feeling more liberating, fulfilling or freeing than accepting and acknowledging who you are and then sharing your true self with the world. We all deserve to live our lives authentically and unabashedly. When you live your truth, unafraid and unapologetically, you make it easier for someone else to do so. Representation is how we break down barriers, combat discrimination, and make positive change in the world. Although you may feel alone in the closet there is a community out there that sees you, hears you and not only accepts you but is actually waiting with open arms to embrace you. Good luck! ❤️๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’œ

The couple was famously photographed kissing at the bottom of a ski slope at the Winter Games after a successful run by Kenworthy.



The last social media post to feature the duo was on June 8 as the couple took part in the AIDS/LifeCycle annual fundraising event.



It's hard to put into words what this past week has meant to me but it was quite a journey, both physically and emotionally. By the end of day two I was questioning why I ever even signed up. I was tired, my legs ached, I was bored out of my mind and all I wanted was for the ride to end. Throughout the week things started to shift though and as we got closer and closer to Los Angeles I began to feel sad that it was coming to an end. The people I met along the way were some of the sweetest, most patient and most generous that I've ever known. Everyone had their own story behind partaking - but on night 6, during a seaside candle-lit vigil commemorating the lives we lost to the AIDS epidemic, it became very clear to me the real reason and importance of our participation. I am so thankful to have been a part of this year's ride and I'm already looking forward to next year's (even if my ass isn't). I pledged to raise $1,000,000 for the cause and although I didn't complete that goal I'm going to participate every year until that dream is realized. If anybody is considering riding next year, I genuinely encourage you to do so. For this year's ALC I've currently raised over $243,000 (although there are still donations that I'm expecting and my page is still open for any of you who want to help!). My efforts exceeded the previous highest fundraiser more than threefold and I am so incredibly thankful to each and every one of you who contributed to that. Whether you donated, posted, shared, commented, bought a product or simply rooted me on, I can't express my gratitude and appreciation enough. I couldn't have done this without you all! I also want to give a special thank you to all the people in all the tiny towns along the route who stood outside with signs and balloons, snacks and music - y'all were truly a sight for sore eyes every single time. ❤️

Kenworthy’s latest Instagram post shared his excitement in joining the cast of the upcoming American Horror Story: 1984.



And Wilkas has been spending time in Provincetown, MA.

Sometimes, people come together for a period of time to learn some life lesson. When the lesson is learned, folks head to the next chapter.

Or, sometimes couples take a break and then find each other again.

Wishing both talented men the best in whatever comes next.
