Olympic skier and certified heartthrob Gus Kenworthy just dropped some juicy details about his love life, and honestly, we’re just trying to keep up. The 33-year-old athlete sat down with Drag Race legend Katya for the latest episode of Grindr’s podcast, Who’s the A**hole?, and let’s just say… things got spicy.
“I do like threesomes, yeah,” Gus admitted casually, as if he was talking about his favorite salad dressing. “I’m basically a serial monogamist. Except… well, I guess not really? Because, you know, sometimes monogamy gets a little wiggly toward the end.”
And when he says he’s always been in a relationship? He means always. Like, the man has probably never had to download a dating app in his life.
“I was in a relationship while still in the closet, then that ended, then I came out, then I immediately started dating someone else for four years,” Gus explained. “Then I handed my ex a breakup notice like it was a lease expiration and jumped straight into another four-year relationship. After that, I was single for four whole months—can you believe it? I barely survived. Then I was with someone for a year. Now I’m with someone else. I’m a mess.”

Threesomes? More Like a Lifestyle Choice
Gus didn’t just dabble in threesomes—he basically has a frequent flyer membership.
“I’ve had more threesomes than I’ve had one-on-one sex,” he confessed. Which, quite frankly, raises logistical questions. Does he have a punch card for this? Is there a rewards program? Buy nine, get the tenth free?
And if you’re wondering how these group activities play out, Gus broke it down:
“All my relationships started monogamous. But, toward the end, they got a little flexible—like a yoga instructor on vacation. So most of the time I’ve been with someone else, it’s been a threesome or even a foursome.”

Of course, not all threesomes are winners. Sometimes, the vibe is off. And when that happens, Gus isn’t afraid to do some… quality control.
“I’ve had to kick people out before,” he admitted. “It’s like, you and your boyfriend kind of just know when it’s not working. So you try to be polite, like, ‘Hey, you’re really great and this has been fun, but also… please leave.’”
Imagine getting eliminated from a Gus Kenworthy Threesome like it’s the final rose ceremony on The Bachelor. Brutal.
The Secret to a Successful Threesome? Equal Enthusiasm, People!
Gus has one golden rule when it comes to group activities: Everybody needs to be into everybody.
“It’s hard to know sometimes, but make sure the third person is equally into you and your partner. Otherwise, it gets awkward. You don’t want one person being super into one half of the couple while the other half is just sitting there like a bored extra in a movie.”
Whether he’s skiing at the Olympics or managing the romantic logistics of a ménage à trois, Gus Kenworthy is out here setting records.
Now, if you’ll excuse us, we need a moment to process all of this information. And maybe a nap.
