Paris Olympics bronze medalist Yared Nuguse officially came out by sharing several photos with his boyfriend, Julian, on Instagram—and fans couldn't be happier for him.

Olympic bronze medalist Yared Nuguse officially came out of the closet with a sweet Instagram post introducing his boyfriend.

Nuguse, a middle-distance runner, is renowned for his achievements in the 1500-meter event and securing the bronze medal in the men’s 1500 meters at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.


Over the weekend, Nuguse shared a photo of himself and his beau and wrote in the caption:

"Introducing my boyfriend, Julian. Can’t believe we’re already one year in my love."

He cheekily added in parentheses:

"Don’t act so surprised."


The athletic community and fans widely embraced Nuguse's post celebrating the first anniversary with his love.

In March 2025, Nuguse set a new indoor mile world record, clocking 3:46.63 at the Millrose Games in New York and surpassing the previous record held since 2019.

In June 2024, Nuguse signed with Grand Slam Track (GST), Olympic gold champion Michael Johnson's innovative track league designed to maintain the sport's momentum beyond the Olympics.

Nuguse was born in Louisville, Kentucky, to Ethiopian parents. The 25-year-old is the fourth of six children.

With aspirations of becoming an orthodontist, Nuguse graduated in 2021 with a bachelor's in biochemistry and in 2022 with a master's degree in management.

He ultimately put aside his dental career to focus on professional running and has been winning at life ever since.

Welcome to the community, Yared! And happy one-year anniversary to you and your adorable Julian.❤️

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves.
