Tom Daley’s husband Dustin Lance Black took to Instagram with a slew of sweet family snaps as they celebrated the diver’s Olympic win in Paris on Monday.
They dressed their adorable sons Robbie, six, and Phoenix 16-months, in T-shirts that read ‘That’s My Papa’ with a photo of Tom.
While proudly watching from the stand as he and Noah Williams took home silver in the synchronised 10m platform final.
Tom, 30, beamed while showing off his medal and cuddled up to his youngest son, before eldest Robbie could be seen proudly draped in a Union Jack flag.
In another snap Oscar winner Dustin, 50, choked back tears following his husband of seven-year’s epic triumph.
He captioned the post: ‘Spectacularly special day’.
Fans and famous friend alike rushed to the comments section, with Tom’s sports partner Noah posting a red heart, while Ricky Martin followed with applause emojis.
Actress Laverne Cox said: ‘Beautiful seeing the family supporting Britain’s most decorated Olympic diver. Congratulations to you all’.
While Rosie O’Donnell commented : ‘Just beautiful Lance – Bravo’.
Drag Race Icon Peppermint wrote: ‘I’m so proud of both of you’.
And Bravo’s Andy Cohen added: ‘LOVE THESE PICS WOW’.
Tom and Dustin welcomed their sons via surrogacy and previously revealed they fertilised half of the eggs each – meaning they did not know which one of them was their children’s biological father.
It comes after athlete revealed it was a ‘bonus’ winning his Olympic silver medal with his sons Robbie proudly watching, after reversing his retirement to compete in his fifth games.
The diver, had previously revealed that he would be returning to competitive diving after his eldest son asked to watch him compete in an Olympic Games.
Speaking to Sam Quek on The Capital Evening Show With Jimmy Hill, Tom shared that little Robbie was his inspiration to win another medal at the Olympics in Paris.
He said: ‘This year has felt like a bonus really. 19 months ago, I was sitting on my sofa doing nothing, and deciding to come back because my son – he wanted to see me at the Olympics.
‘And now to be here with a silver medal, to be diving with Noah and, you know, to be diving in front of my family, it was really special.’
As Sam asked: ‘So that was Robbie who said that?’ Tom added: ‘Yeah, it was Robbie.’
Sam asked: ‘So what happened? So, Phoenix is that age now where they’re just starting to learn how to talk – what are you going to do if they decide to say the same thing?’
Tom then continued: ‘Robbie has already cashed in his token – he doesn’t get another one!
‘But I don’t know about Phoenix. Who knows? I don’t know if Phoenix will ever remember me being a diver, because he’s only 16 months.
‘He’s actually 16 months today. He won’t really remember it, but we’ll have lots of photos. He did throw his juice bottle at me in the mix zone from the balcony, but yeah, it was really sweet to have them there.’
Tom won silver in the 10m synchronized platform event with Noah Williams, who planted a kiss on his teammate’s cheek during the medal ceremony at the Aquatics Centre on the third day of the games.
Robert, who was named after Tom’s late father, was also draped with a Union Flag during his dad’s fifth Olympics, the first coming in 2008 when he was just 14.
Tom won his first medal, a bronze at London 2012, followed by a second at Rio 2016.
And he went on to win gold and bronze at the Tokyo Games in 2021.
Tom had married American screenwriter Dustin Lance Black in 2017.
And after Tokyo he moved to the USA with their two sons and effectively retired from diving, but he returned to the sport in 2023, after a two-year-break, and started competition with new dive partner Noah Williams.
