Adam Rippon has finally met Sally Field's son Sam Greisman and the two of them took a selfie together. The meeting took place at the Human Rights Campaign gala in Los Angeles, where Rippon was presented with the group's Visibility Award.
Tweeted Greisman with the cozy-looking selfie: “Thanks, mom.”

As you may recall, Rippon and Greisman were the subject of a highly-publicized matchmaking attempt by Greisman's mother Sally Field during the Olympics.
Sam had been crushing on Rippon during the first days of the Winter Games.
Gonna need a gif of @Adaripp saying he just wants to focus on being America's Sweetheart for my daily use. Please and thank you.
Also marry me Adam.

So boys, where're we watching @Adaripp tonight?

I hate being earnest but an openly, “non-passing”, sassy, beautiful gay 20-something daring America not to love him and becoming the sweetheart of the Olympic Games is very moving to me.

Glad so many people liked this, but if you could slide it into Adam's DMs that would be great too.

Finally, his mom gave him some advice.
Just some really helpful advice from my mom on how to deal with my Olympic crush. pic.twitter.com/shYCXwNOMf

And after Sam posted the text exchange with mom, she ensured the figure skater saw it by tagging him in the comments.

Sam was slightly horrified (but probably psyched).
Yikes.

She'll do what she has to do. She's not the worst wing woman.

So finally, Rippon responded.
He visited Buzzfeed's offices in PyeongChang, and said this.
“Sally. SHE BOLD.” And then had a message for Sam.
“Sam, your mom – I admire her. And I'm sure one day we're going to meet! So thanks, mom.”
And so it has happened.
