‘Elite’ Boyfriends Manu Rios & André Lamoglia’s Hot Reunion 










Considered one of the heart-throbbing sweethearts of the hit Spanish series “Elite,” Manu Rios and his equally dreamy co-star André Lamoglia recently took their off-screen camaraderie to a whole new level.





Manu Rios, born on December 17, 1998, was a phenomenon even before gracing our screens in the high school drama Elite. Coming from a small town in Spain, Rios began his career as a child actor in musicals, eventually transitioning to the world of YouTube where he showcased his angelic voice. André Lamoglia, on the other hand, hails from Brazil and got his start in his native country’s popular teen series. The pair, who have heated up our screens as boyfriends on “Elite,” recently reunited in Mexico on a shared getaway.





Surrounding the release of the latest season of Elite, Rios and Lamoglia jetted to Mexico to enjoy some well-deserved downtime. They documented their fun, carefree moments under the bright sun and even shared them with their eager fans – a refreshing departure from the tension that they frequently navigate on the exciting series. Living the life of gay icons, it’s clear that the pair share a bond that goes beyond their on-screen love story.

Since the airing of “Elite,” Rios and Lamoglia have become prominent figures in the gay community, advocating for fair and authentic representation in the industry. With their careers on an upswing and their personal lives brimming with love and mutual respect, these two matinee idols are a testament to the progress in highlighting LGBTQ+ stories in mainstream media.





On that note, let us raise our glasses to these heartthrobs, an inspiring pair not just as their characters on “Elite,” but as great allies in real-life as well. Here’s to more of Manu and André’s steamy moments, both on and off-screen!

As shocking as it may seem, America’s most popular gay dating application, Grindr, is currently in hot water with its users. This tech titan has been mired in controversy due to allegations of non-consensual disclosure of private information, including HIV status. 





Grindr, which has been a major player in the LGBTQ+ dating scene since its launch in 2009, is facing an onslaught of legal actions from hundreds of unhappy users. They claim that some of their most personal and sensitive information has been shared by the application without their permission. This perturbing revelation sparks a significant debate about privacy rights within and beyond the LGBTQ+ community. 





The firm filing the lawsuit on behalf of 670 UK users – Austen Hayes – allege that information about HIV status and the date of users latest HIV test have been provided to third parties for commercial purposes, writes Daily Mail.





Managing Director of Austen Hays, Chaya Hanoomanjee said in a statement: ‘Grindr owes it to the LGBTQ+ community it serves to compensate those whose data has been compromised and have suffered distress as a result, and to ensure all its users are safe while using the app, wherever they are, without fear that their data might be shared with third parties.’

Although the app’s main objective has been to aid gay, bisexual, and queer men in finding their perfect match, these allegations have dampened the trust of many users. The heartache is palpably felt by those affected, who confided their status due to the promise of a secure platform. Eroded trust can be quite challenging to earn back, especially with such sensitive matters involved. 





The former CEO of Grindr, Joel Simkhai, has been striving to maintain a low profile amidst this scandal. Simkhai, who is openly gay himself, prided Grindr on being more than just a hookup app. Simkhai often spoke about it serving to empower the gay community. 





Simkhai’s life and career have been dominated by his commitment to fostering connections within the LGBTQ+ community. Unfortunately, these allegations have cast a long and unsettling shadow over his past efforts. 





The tech mogul steered Grindr to unparalleled heights since its inaugural year, building it up from a start-up dream into a reality that revolutionized gay dating. Since stepping down from the helm in 2018, Simkhai has been laying low, trying to steer clear from the negative press.
