Jussi-Pekka Kajaala & Adam Rippon: Dating, Engaged, Wedding

In line with what a friend spoke with PEOPLE, Jussi-Pekka Kajaala and Adam Rippon met through Tinder.

Later, Adam himself revealed that he and Jussi talked for like seven months before they started to hang out a little bit more. The couple who faced some linguistic challenges, in the beginning, was taking things slow only because they were both really busy.

Before Adam confirmed his relationship with Jussi, he would share these teasing Instagram posts. For instance, the time in April 2018, when he posted a shirtless photo of the two hiking on Los Angeles’ Runyon Canyon writing, “Good boys Finnish first”.

Anyway, now, with the engagement declaration, they also hinted about a soon-to-be happening wedding.

The couple, who first started dating in 2018, got engaged around the time when Adam was visiting Jussi in Finland. Word has it, Adam was there from November of last year until Jan. in 2021. About which, Adam said:

“We didn’t have the chance to see each other for most of 2020. The engagement was something we had talked about earlier so when I was finally able to get to Finland this November we felt like it would be the perfect time.”

The way Adam put it to PEOPLE, both the men had got down on one knee, as they proposed together. Apparently, they were together through everything, from buying the rings, picking them, to unboxing them and giving them to each other.

“We did it at the same time so we both got to be the one who proposed!”

And this, of course, happened during a low-key night at Hotel Kamp in Helsinki.

Meanwhile, about the looming wedding, Adam said they haven’t started wedding planning just yet. At the time, he and Jussi were thinking of a courthouse wedding because “it’ll be pretty hard” to get both of their families together in the same place. As a solution to this, they would probably film the day to share it with their family and “so that everyone feels included!”.

All been said, and despite Jussie attempting to build a summer home in Finland, he also said yes to moving to Los Angeles with Adam.
