Tom and Dustin met in 2013 and Tom later came out as gay that December, telling fans in a Youtube video that he had been dating a man since the summer.
Tom said of meeting Dustin: “I’d never felt the feeling of love, it happened so quickly, I was completely overwhelmed by it to the point I can’t get him out of my head all the time.”
The pair live together in London and became engaged in 2015.
The couple married in May 2017 and romantic Tom sang “Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art though, Romeo?” to his fiance before the ceremony at the fairytale Bovey castle.
