Their joyous announcement comes after Daley, a 2012 and 2016 Olympic bronze medalist diver, and husband Black, who won a Best Original Screenplay Oscar for Milk, told OUT about their desire to have children.

“We were so busy making all these plans — we both wanted to have children; we both wanted to build a home of our own someday,” Black told the magazine. “I draw, so I was sketching little plans for houses on cliffs overlooking oceans, while Tom watched over my shoulder — it was a very grown-up version of playing house.”
