They really are couple goals!
Out gay pro wrestler Anthony Bowens and his boyfriend are being cute AF again today by posting an adorable anniversary message on social media.
The world champion wished his longtime boyfriend, YouTuber Michael Pavano, a happy 30th birthday and 8th anniversary with a sweet photo of the pair posing — Bowens shirtless, of course — in front of a picturesque beach. The two met on Instagram when Pavano was still in an on-and-off-again relationship, so Bowens backed off until Pavano broke up with his then-boyfriend and reached out to Bowen and invited him to come to his birthday party. The two have been together ever since.
But this isn’t the first time Bowens and Pavano have been couple goals. Bowen may be tough when he’s in the ring, but he’s a huge romantic in his personal life, making us love the muscle-bound wrestler even more! He posts anniversary and happy birthday messages for his boyfriend every year and celebrates their milestones on social media. When they went on their first vacation together, when they moved in together, when they bought their first home, and smaller, more intimate moments, like the time Bowens flew home to spend time with Pavano even though he only had half a day to spare, are all documented. They even have adorable nicknames for each other: Sweet and Dandy! Could they be any cuter?!
To ring in their 8th anniversary, let’s look back at all of the times Bowens and Pavano were the sweetest gay couple ever!
