Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon and Jussi-Pekka “JP” Kajaala are married!

The gold medalist announced the happy news in an Instagram post on Wednesday, nearly a month after their small—and very private—wedding ceremony.


The two met on Tinder in 2018 and became engaged in 2020.

Rippon shared a photo of himself, Kajaala and their dog Tony from their special day with the caption:

"SURPRISE 🥂 WE ARE MARRIED🥲❤️ One afternoon JP and I looked at each other and said the very classic *romantic* phrase of 'let’s just go do it now'. So we did. It was just the three of us and it was perfect 12/31/21 🌟🐶"

Rippon said in an August 2021 interview with People he and his now husband wanted to be wed in a simple city hall wedding.

They were waiting for Kajaala's, a Finnish national, visa to move to the U.S. to be approved.

Rippon had told People:

"If everything goes well we'll probably get married in like a few months."

Friends and fans were thrilled to hear everything went well for the couple.

Fashion stylist Brad Goreski and Queer Eye star Jonathan Van Ness were among many celebrities congratulating the couple.

Even Trump's NASA Director Had To Set Kim Kardashian Straight After She Said The Moon Landing 'Didn't Happen'

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy—who is also NASA's Acting Administrator—issued the weirdest fact-check ever when he corrected reality star Kim Kardashian after she revealed herself to be a moon landing conspiracist.

Conspiracy theorists have long alleged the moon landing was fabricated by NASA in what they claim was an elaborate hoax—and Kardashian certainly made it clear where she stands in a video speaking to co-star Sarah Paulson on the set of the new Hulu drama All’s Fair.

Special Olympics Fires Back At Kid Rock With Powerful Statement After He Used 'The R-Word' To Describe Halloween Costume

MAGA singer Kid Rock was called out by Loretta Claiborne, the Chief Inspiration Officer of the Special Olympics, after he used the "r-word"—a known ableist slur—to describe his Halloween costume this year.

Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, was speaking with Fox News host Jesse Watters when he donned a face mask and said he'd be going as a "r**ard" for Halloween. Watters had guessed he was dressed as Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who spearheaded the nation's COVID-19 pandemic response.
