Michael Sam and Vito Cammisano

Football superstar Michael Sam can hide his excitement that much. Before, when he was drafted to the NFL’s St. Louis Rams, he could not contain his emotions and kissed Vito Cammisano who is boyfriend on live TV. Few months after the lovely incident, the two got engaged. However, the two called it quits months after their engagement.

The duo first met at the University of Missouri, where Michael was earning his degree and was a star athlete. They started dating in 2011, and the two remained private about their romance until Michael’s emotional coming-out story made headlines in February 2014. However, they only went public when the football star made history by becoming NFL’s first-ever openly gay football player that May. He was later cut from the team, but he has remained public, putting his talents to good use by joining Dancing With the Stars in 2015. Meanwhile, Vito showed his love and support throughout the show.
