Greg Louganis and his partner, Johnny Chaillot announced their engagement via People on Monday, telling the magazine that they would be getting married this fall.
"I finally met my soul mate," the 53-year-old Olympian said of his paralegal boyfriend. "The more I fall in love with Johnny, the more I fall in love with myself. This is what the universe had in store for both of us."
Louganis competed for the United States in the 1984 and 1988 Olympics, medaling five times. In 1988, he famously suffered a concussion during the preliminary rounds, but still managed to win the gold medal.
"Yes! It is official we are getting married! I love my life and I love Johnny Chaillot!" Louganis tweeted on Monday.
In a March interview with the Backlot, Louganis said he was surprised by his attraction to Chaillot.
Louganis recently served as coach for the ABC celebrity diving show, "Splash."

In a new interview with US Weekly, Ivanka Trump said she thinks that she'll become a strict mom as her 23-month-old daughter, Arabella, gets older. In one particular area, the 31-year-old entrepreneur warned, she'll be especially vigilant.
"The one thing I won't tolerate is her being spoiled or bratty or having poor manners. That's one area [in which] I'll be very strict," Trump, who's worth an estimated $150 million, told the magazine. Trump's father, Donald, is worth $3.2 billion.
Trump is expecting her second child in the fall, and wants Arabella to learn to share in the meantime.
"She's really good at telling me I have to share with her. She's less good about actually sharing back," Trump joked.
According to Trump's Twitter feed, little Arabella is already learning to give orders.
"Just arrived in Rome. Arabella overheard someone say "pronto" & has been saying it repeatedly (accompanied by a grand hand gesture) since!" Trump tweeted earlier this month.

After a single production facility tested positive for Salmonella during an FDA inspection, Natura Pet Products has announced a voluntary recall of several of its brands for both cats and dogs, CBS Chicago reported Tuesday.
"We have some sad news to share," Natura said in a press release.
The pet food company said that while only a single test came back positive for Salmonella for a specific day, it would take extra measures to ensure the safety of its products.
"We are truly sorry," the company added. "We know this news disappoints you; we are disappointed too."
The FDA listed the affected brands in a separate press release.
According to the agency, both humans and pets are at risk for Salmonella contamination. Salmonella symptoms in humans include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and fever. Symptoms for pets include lethargy, diarrhea, fever and vomiting.

Ryan Seacrest said on his radio show Tuesday that he had spoken to Kim Kardashian following the birth of her baby girl with Kanye West. Though the new mom called the newborn "so freaking cute," she wasn't specific about the question on everyone's mind -- what is the little girl's name?
Given the Kardashian family's penchant for "K" names, most speculate that Kim and Kanye's baby will follow suit. On Tuesday, one particular name became the frontrunner -- Kaidence Donda West -- based on a report from the website MediaTakeOut, which claimed to have spoken to a nurse at Los Angeles' Cedars Sinai Hospital. "Donda" is the name of West's late mother.
Earlier Tuesday, HollywoodLife.com came up with a similar name, "Kai Georgia Donda West," with the name "Georgia" in honor of Kim's late father, George Kardashian.

Katy Perry went from divorcing off-beat British comedian Russell Brand back in early 2012 to dating musician John Mayer, who once famously compared Jessica Simpson to "sexual napalm."
With both relationships a thing of the past, the 28-year-old pop singer and Vogue cover girl dished about her exes in a new interview for the magazine's July issue.
Perry said that her relationship with Brand ended 14 months after their 2010 marriage, when the 38-year-old comedian asked for a divorce via text message.
"He's a very smart man, and I was in love with him when I married him," Perry said. "Let's just say I haven't heard from him since he texted me saying he was divorcing me December 31, 2011."
Perry also said that Brand wasn't comfortable with her career.
"At first when I met him, he wanted an equal, and I think a lot of times strong men do want an equal, but then they get that equal and they're like, I can't handle the equalness," she said.
Perry started dating Mayer shortly after her relationship with Brand ended. She called the 35-year-old singer-songwriter a "broken bird."
"I was madly in love with him. I still am madly in love with him," she said.
"All I can say about that relationship is that he's got a beautiful mind. "Beautiful mind, tortured soul. I do have to figure out why I am attracted to these broken birds," she added.
July Vogue hits stands June 25.


"Girl Meets World," the highly anticipated spinoff of 90s sitcom "Boy Meets World," has finally been picked up.
The Disney Channel announced Monday it would officially start production of the show for a 2014 premiere. Filming will begin this summer in Los Angeles.
Congratulations to @BenSavage! C & T have always had a beautiful story & I can't wait 4 everyone to see the life they have created together.

The show is seen through the eyes of tween daughter of "Boy Meets World" characters Cory and Topanga, who are played by original-series cast members Ben Savage and Danielle Fishel. "Spy Kids" actress Rowan Blanchard, 11, plays their daughter Riley.
Cory now teaches history, and Topanga owns a pudding cafe where Riley and her seventh-grade friends hang out. Michael Jacobs and April Kelly, the original creators of "Boy Meets World," will produce this show as well.
Mr. Feeny, played by William Daniels in the original series, is expected to make at least one cameo in the show. Several former cast members have dropped by the set, including Rider Strong, who played Cory's best friend Shawn.
A reunion panel last week at the ATX Television Festival in Austin sparked rumors of other cast members being part of the spinoff. Disney has not announced whether Rider or the other castmates will join the series, but "Sister, Sister" star Jackee Harry is set to star in the pilot.
Savage said that "Girl Meets World" will honor the old show while "trying to work in this new dynamic and this new time we're all living in."

A volcanic alert has been issued after the Popocatepetl volcano erupted an enormous cloud of gas and ash.
The blast could create an ash cloud bound for Mexico City, which is about 40 miles south of the volcano.
The volcano has been restive since last year. The blast was captured on film stretching high into the sky and dumping bits of rock into neighboring areas.
If Popocatepetl continues to erupt, the area will likely be evacuated. Evacuations were planned in mid-May during another active period, but were never enacted.
The volcano is under constant monitoring for activity using cameras, satellites and sensors to track changes in temperature and ground movement.
The volcano is the second-highest volcano in Mexico, and it had its last major eruption in 1947. It was dormant from the 1950s until 1994, when it began to erupt intermittently. A large eruption in December 2000 caused damage, but evacuations and monitoring kept residents from getting hurt.

Lil Wayne said in a Facebook post Tuesday he didn't mean to "desecrate the flag of the United States of America" during a recent video shoot in New Orleans.
"In the final edit of the video you will see the flag fall to reveal what is behind it but will never see it on the ground."
Wayne, 30, came under fire Monday after footage of him stepping on the United States flag was unveiled by TMZ.
When the clip went viral, many fans were quick to reprimand the rapper via social media for what he had done. Nevertheless, Wayne stood strong behind his position that he meant no harm.

Congressman Michael Burgess, a former OB/GYN, said Monday that he opposes abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy because male fetuses can put "their hand between their legs" for pleasure.
“Watch a sonogram of a 15-week baby, and they have movements that are purposeful,” said the Texas Republican.
Burgess' remarks spread online where the idea of "fetal masturbation" took hold -- an idea many found not only distasteful, but impossible.
The rationale for the Republican bill, which advanced through the House Judiciary last week on a near-total party-line vote, is one oft-disputed study that asserts fetuses can feel pain as early as 20 weeks after conception.
In 2010, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists in Britain said of fetal awareness that, “Connections from the periphery to the cortex are not intact before 24 weeks of gestation and, as most neuroscientists believe that the cortex is necessary for pain perception, it can be concluded that the fetus cannot experience pain in any sense prior to this gestation.”
The 20-week ban was initially meant to apply only to the District of Columbia, but the arrest and murder conviction of Kermit Gosnell, who ran an illegal abortion clinic in Philadelphia, has given conservatives new momentum.
The White House has already vowed to veto the abortion bill if it should pass Senate.
The Kentucky 14-year-old that was suspended for wearing an National Rifle Association shirt to school may now face up to a year in jail.
Jared Marcum was charged Tuesday with obstructing an officer, and now faces a $500 fine and jail time. He had no criminal background prior to the arrest.
In April, Marcum got into an argument with a teacher over his NRA shirt, which read "Protect Your Rights" with a gun graphic below it. He was arrested for disturbing the education process and obstructing an officer. His school suspended him.
The charge came after Marcum refused to stop talking as he was being arrested, which the police report says hindered the officer's ability to do his job.
The report did not mention any threats or violent activity on Marcum's part.
"In my view of the facts, Jared didn't do anything wrong," Ben White, Jared's attorney said. "I think officer Adkins could have done something differently."
White has until July 11 to get Marcum's charges dismissed. If the charges are not dropped by then, Marcum will appear in court again.
