How Serious Are Colton and Jordan?
The duo were first spotted kissing on the beach while staying at the Four Seasons in Maui back in September 2021, according to photos obtained by TMZ.
The pair became serious enough for Colton to introduce Jordan his family, according to an interview with the New York Times. “The easiest way for me to say it is that it was like bringing a girl home,” he said in November 2021. “Like, nobody batted an eye.”
Colton and Jordan are taking their love to the next level, as the couple announced in February 2022 that they are engaged.
“After my birthday, Jordan and I went to Big Sur for a weekend getaway to decompress and relax in nature. I couldn’t have pictured a more beautiful place to celebrate an amazing milestone in my life and relationship,” the former football player told People, gushing that he’s “extremely happy” after a “transformative” year. “Starting 2022 off with my best friend, teammate and now fiancé is something I never thought was going to be possible.”
Colton came out as gay on Good Morning America in April 2021. “This year’s been a lot for a lot of people and it’s probably made a lot of people look at themselves in the year and figure out who they are,” he said at the time. “I’ve ran from myself for a long time, I’ve hated myself for a long time. I’m gay. I came to terms with that earlier this year, and the next step in all of this was sort of letting people know. … I’m the happiest and healthiest I’ve ever been in my life. That means the world to me.”
