Kenworthy performed at his last X-Games last night.
As he posted on Instagram in 2019: Kenworthy was born in Chelmsford, England. His family relocated to Colorado in the US when he was three. His mother is British and he holds a British passport. He explained at the time, “Although I was raised in the US I was born in the UK and my mum is British through-and-through. She has been my #1 fan for my entire life and has proudly stood at the bottom of the mountain waving the stars and stripes in support of me for two Olympic cycles. Now, in what is sure to be my last Olympic appearance, I’d like to return the honor by proudly holding up the British flag for her.”
E! News meanwhile revealed the identity of Kenworthy’s boyfriend.
Supporting Kenworthy on the slopes in Aspen on the weekend was Adam Umhoefer, a foundation executive at Creative Artists Agency. The men were snapped kissing and the pic was shared online by photographer Douglas Friedman.
“Gus and Adam have been in a committed relationship for over two years,” an insider told E. “They live together and Adam will be cheering on Gus from home during the Beijing Olympics. They like to keep as much about their relationship as private as they can, but they love and support one another endlessly.”
The Winter Olympics begin on February 4 on NBC.
