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.

Nancy Mace Has Unhinged Meltdown After Voter Asks Her About Town Halls In Bonkers Video

South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace was criticized after she filmed her argument with a voter who asked her if she'd be hosting any more town halls this year—only for Mace refer to him as an "unhinged lunatic" for approaching her in the first place.

Over the weekend, Mace shared a video she recorded in the skincare aisle of a South Carolina Ulta store, in which she confronts a man she assumes is gay after he inquired about her public schedule. While the man remained calm and kept a respectful distance, Mace quickly escalated the situation—invoking LGBTQ+ topics without prompting, shouting profanities, and accusing him of harassment.

MAGA MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell Dragged After Weeping To Judge That He Has No Money To Pay Fines

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was mocked online after it emerged that he reportedly sobbed to a judge that he's "in ruins" and doesn't have the money to pay a court-ordered $50,000 fine to the voting software company Smartmatic, which he falsely claimed had rigged the 2020 election results in favor of former President Joe Biden.

Appearing via Zoom at a hearing in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., Lindell claimed Wednesday that he doesn’t even have “5 cents” to put toward the $56,396 he owes the company, telling the court he has “nothing” beyond two homes currently being liquidated and a truck. He has recently laid off hundreds of MyPillow employees due to what he described as severe financial distress.
