Chris Olsen Dating Life With Partner Ian Paget
Chris Olsen and Ian Paget had met each other in 2019 at a WorldPride event but didn't talk to each other at that time. So, they went on their first date when Chris visited New York that July and met each other. On their 1 million TikTok followers day, Chris said, "I like to say that's our one-year anniversary. It's not because Ian didn't agree to be my boyfriend until two months into the relationship."
They eventually moved together in LA and became one of the most adored couples on the internet. Chris had talked with Bethesda Magazine in December saying,
"We're gay rights advocate in the way of just showing ourselves. You are forced to see us and personalize us. We're a gay couple, but we're not really commenting on the fact that we're gay. Maybe some gay child in Kansas who hasn't come out yet and has never met a gay person is seeing two gay people interact, but not in a way that comments on their gayness, so you're just seeing that it's OK."
The couple had an age gap of 10 years ad Chris is 24 years old while Ian is 34 years.
