Sawyer Hemsley, co-founder and Chief Brand Officer of Crumbl Cookies, has added a new ingredient to the recipe of his life: love. Just weeks after publicly coming out, Hemsley revealed his new boyfriend on social media.
Hemsley, 33, first shared his truth with followers last month. In a heartfelt Instagram post, he explained that coming out had been a journey of self‑reflection, acceptance and courage:
“The truth is, over the past few years I’ve come to understand and accept that I’m gay. It’s taken me a long time to really process this part of myself and even longer to feel comfortable enough to say it out loud.”
The announcement earned praise and support from his community, customers, and fellow creators, many applauding him for his openness and vulnerability.
Now, Hemsley has turned the page to a new chapter. In an Instagram post captioned, “The best part of my summer,” he introduced his partner, sharing that the season had been filled with “memories, laughter, and a camera roll that tells the story better than I could.” The post included affectionate snapshots of the couple together.
The mystery man by Hemsley’s side is Antonio Bruno, a luxury real estate agent based in West Hollywood. He’s no stranger to competition, Bruno has a background in athletics, having run the Los Angeles Marathon, and also earned MVP and Rookie of the Season honors playing in West Hollywood’s basketball league.
Bruno added his own touch when commenting under Hemsley’s post: “He’s a lucky guy,” a simple line that sparked delighted replies from fans and supporters.
If there was any question about whether the relationship was casual, Hemsley appeared to dispel it. He already brought Bruno as his plus-one to a friend’s wedding, a move many see as a subtle declaration that this is not just a summer fling. Summer weddings come with cameras, toasts, and nosy family questions, so bringing someone along is rarely a light gesture.
Details about how Hemsley and Bruno met, how long they’ve been together, and what the future holds remain private for now. But the energy of the couple is undeniable: joy, warmth, and the kind of optimism that resonates especially loud in queer spaces.
In a world full of limited‑edition cookie flavors, Hemsley’s new reveal feels even more exciting. He’s giving fans and followers more than just fresh bakes, he’s giving visibility, hope, and a reminder that love can arrive when you least expect it.
As the world watches, one thing’s clear: Hemsley’s coming out journey is evolving into a beautiful story of authenticity, courage and newfound affection. And for many queer fans, seeing a successful entrepreneur sharing love so openly feels like a small but powerful victory—proof that living your truth truly is the sweetest treat of all.
