Grandparents of British diver Tom Daley, who recently came out as bisexual, have claimed that they have always been loyal supporters of their grandson and his sexuality revelation will not change it.
David Daley, father of the teen Olympian's late dad Robert, said that he and his wife, Rosemary Daley, will always be there for Tom, the Mirror reported.
Tom had also announced via YouTube that he is currently in a relationship with a man, who makes him feel "so happy and so safe".
Rosemary said that she was confused at first when Tom told them about his new relationship because he's always had girlfriends.
Rosemary added that she and her husband are not old-fashioned, and actually quite liberal, but she believes that Tom's too young to be making this sort of decision.
