Dustin Lance Black engaged to ​British Olympic diver Tom Daley

British Olympic diver Tom Daley and Oscar-winning screenwriter Dustin Lance Black have announced their engagement.

The announcement was published in The Times newspaper Thursday, but did not disclose a date for the marriage.

The 41-year-old Black is a writer and producer who won an Academy Award for his screenplay for the 2008 movie "Milk" about gay activist and politician Harvey Milk. He also wrote 2011's "J. Edgar" starring Leonardo DiCaprio and 2010's "Virginia" with Jennifer Connelly.

Daley, 21, is a former world champion who first competed in the Olympics at the age of 14 and won a bronze medal at the 2012 Games in London, and his youthful exuberance made him a fan favorite.

He came out as a gay man in a YouTube video nearly two years ago, announcing that he was dating a man and couldn't be happier.
