British diver and Olympic medalist Tom Daley visited the archeological zone of Chichen Itza and Valladolid a few hours ago with his husband, filmmaker Dustin Lance Black, and their son, Robert Ray.
The parents are prolific on social media. Black posted a photo of himself and Daley holding hands on an iconic “tu y yo” or “confidente” chair in Valladolid. That garnered close to 20,000 likes in two hours. Another shot of the trio in front of the Mayan site’s famous pyramid was apparently taken down.
Yet another photo of Black at the archaeological site alludes to the heat. He is holding a paper fan, and captioned the photo “sweaty hot history.”
Daley and Black have been to Chichen Itza twice before, but this is the first time they visited with their small child, whose face was filtered out in the Instagram image.
