Gus Kenworthy reveals he had a secret relationship

While Gus praised the sports drama series Heated Rivalry, the Olympian skier revealed that he also had a secret relationship similar to one of the characters in the show. As he referred to Scott and Kip's secret relationship, played by François Arnaud and Robbie Graham-Kuntz, respectively, in the show's third episode, Gus took the opportunity to explain, and said:

"I also had a secret relationship, with these clandestine meetings and hookups."

Gus continued:

"And Miley Cyrus was my own Rose, this famous person that I was suddenly linked to, and as much as I kind of wanted it - because that's the person you would want to be with if you're staright, someone successful and beautiful and talented - it's not the same as when you're with a guy."
