DNA: Hi Rick And Griff, please tell us about your backgrounds?

Rick: Our names are Rick and Griff TwombleyKing, a married couple who have resided in Atlanta now for over ten years. I’m a retired professional dancer and acrobat who has performed on stages from Broadway to Cirque du Soleil, and even as Tarzan in Disney’s stage productions around the world. After retiring, I moved to Atlanta where I have operated my training company, Rick Twombley Fitness, since 2011. I’m also CEO or our new company, Two Kings Unlimited.

Griff: I am from Simpsonville, a small country town in the suburbs of Greenville, South Carolina. I was an average, shy kid with a wild imagination. I would make up personalities and imitate pop culture and political figures to entertain my family and friends but I never showed interest in showbiz. Instead, I grew up building forts in the woods behind my home, playing sports (baseball was my favourite), and always found time to walk through the creeks with my friends. As a kid, I loved to watch animated movies and musicals with my mother, leading me to know verbatim almost any song you can imagine from those genres. I like to think my light-heartedness and humour was inherited from my father and uncle who both lived by a mantra of not taking life too seriously.

I have a degree in Landscape Architecture from Clemson University. I was fortunate enough to travel the world as part of a major project that included redesigned the city of Luxor, Egypt, restoring an 800-year-old church in Eisenach, Germany (where Martin Luther nailed his thesis to the door), and designed modern housing for the people of Barcelona What were your adolescent years like? Rick: I grew up in the cornfields of Nebraska. I was always strangely confident from a young age. I was different and didn’t necessarily “belong” but I saw this difference as a strength not a weakness. I began dance lessons when I started high school, was a member of the show choir, and was the first boy in the history of the state to audition for and make my high school’s cheer leading squad. Of course, it being the ’90s and Nebraska, I faced a ton of backlash and bullying but was lucky to have friends and family who supported and encouraged me. I never quit and continued to pursue my passions proudly and unapologetically. My love of dance led me to a full scholarship to study at The Ann Lacy School Of Dance at Oklahoma City University. Past graduates include Tony and Emmy Award-winners Kelli O’Hara, Kristen Chenoweth and Megan Mullaly from Will And Grace. I graduated with honours and began a 15-year career that took me around the world. Griff: Socially, I’d been a shy kid until my high school years when I became part of the varsity baseball team. My teenage years were also spent trying to figure out why I wasn’t interested in girls like I was “supposed” to be, but rather figure out why I fancied the soccer stud in my English class (I could never stay focused). During this time, I was indoctrinated into the Southern Baptist Church against the wishes of my parents. Long story, short: I developed a tumour in my left arm and the doctors didn’t know if it was cancerous or not for a while. I became scared, not knowing what my future would be, and I confided this information to a super-religious friend who basically scared me into thinking I was going to Hell if I died. I was about 16 when this happened. So I joined his church and became very religious for a few years. At college I realised the feelings I had for the soccer stud were real and I couldn’t hide my sexuality any longer. I came out to the same friend who introduced me to the church. He was disgusted and berated and belittled me. He told the church leaders, who asked me not come back until I came to my senses and rescinded my sinful ways. Looking back, I take this as a blessing because this was the beginning of my journey to learn how to be true to myself.

How long have you been a couple?

Griff: We’ve been a couple for nearly eight years and married for four years in November.

How did you meet, and was there an instant chemistry?

Rick: Besides thinking he was extremely hot, there was no instant chemistry. I was in a sevenyear monogamous relationship when we met

We wanted to show that a genuine, loving married couple can also be sexual beings who are not ashamed about celebrating the erotic…
