Although it’s unclear exactly when Gus and Andrew began dating, their relationship appeared to go public in August 2024, when they shared their first Instagram photos together during a trip to New York City. Just a month later, the pair attended the iconic Burning Man festival, sparking further interest in their relationship.

Before Andrew, Gus was in a relationship with Tyler Green, a software account executive.

This amicable relationship between Gus and his ex shows that the two have maintained a respectful connection despite moving on from one another.
In addition to sharing moments with his boyfriend, Gus Kenworthy has opened up about his views on relationships and the LGBTQ+ community. In an interview with Drag Race star Katya on Grindr’s Who’s the A**hole? podcast, Gus discussed his experiences with relationships and the concept of exclusivity. He explained that while some of his friends are in exclusive, monogamous relationships, many others prefer more open dynamics, where they might explore connections with others, either together or separately.
Gus went on to share how his past relationships have navigated the concept of openness.
“I would say most of the people that I know that are in long-term relationships are… in some way, shape, or form, open,” he said, adding that these arrangements can range from occasional threesomes to more expansive open relationships. Gus admitted to having had several threesomes in his life, even joking about having to “kick someone out” of a threesome when things weren’t going well. “If you’re coming into it in a relationship, you and your boyfriend usually have some kind of… like, you can tell,” he said, reflecting on how important communication and mutual understanding are in maintaining a healthy dynamic in these situations.
While Gus’s past relationships and experiences in the open relationship realm have been a topic of discussion, it’s clear that his relationship with Andrew Rigby is rooted in mutual affection and respect.
