Yared Nuguse is winning in life at the moment. In what was an absolute banger of a meet, Nuguse made history by breaking the indoor mile record at the Millrose Games in February 2025. Clocking a time of 3:46.63, he surpassed Ethiopian runner Yomif Kejelcha’s previous 3:47.01. The runner was met with loud applause and cheers from his fans. Now he is all set to steal the show at the inaugural edition of Michael Johnson’s Grand Slam Track. But before that, Nuguse had yet another major good news to share, and fans are surely surprised by how well the Olympian had hidden such a massive update from them for so long!
Well, as a matter of fact, Yared Nuguse has found the love of his life. Nuguse proudly announced his relationship with his partner, Julian Falco. Taking to his Instagram, Nuguse stated that he had been dating Falco for over a year. “Introducing my boyfriend, Julian. Can’t believe we’re already one year in my love (Don’t act so surprised)” Well, while this was surely a piece of welcome news for the track and field world, there was an element of surprise too.
Nuguse keeping his queer status under wraps surely came as a fresh beginning for the track fans. While he did post several pictures of them together, the internet showered the couple with love and affection. Nuguse had different shades of their pictures posted on Instagram. Most of them included the duo enjoying quality time with one another at different places. Falco and Nuguse were also spotted inside the gym, on a romantic dinner getaway, and on a karaoke night. The post also included Falco playing a VR video game.
Surely, such grand news could not have come at a better time for Nuguse. Barring his recent heroics, the Olympian has been in a golden phase in his career. Together with Cole Hocker, Nuguse clinched a podium finish in the Paris Games, breaking a 112-year curse for his nation. But what kind of curse? Well, two Americans had last occupied the podium in the 1500m event in 1912, but in the Paris Olympics 2024, Cole Hocker and Yared Nuguse (re)created history by securing the gold and the bronze medals, respectively. Now with the Grand Slam Track just a few days away, the excitement to watch Nuguse take on the track has reached a fever pitch. But first? athletes are gushing over his recent expression of love.
