Neither Sally Field nor Sam Greisman has been particularly shy about their feelings for Adam Rippon. During the 2018 Winter Olympics, Field commended Rippon for his excellence and grace on Twitter, calling him "inspiring." A few days later, Greisman tweeted about the figure skater, calling him sassy, beautiful, and "the sweetheart of the Olympic games."
Then, Greisman shared a screenshot of a text conversation with his mom about his Olympic-sized crush. "Sam...he's insanely pretty. Find a way," Field texted to her son. Greisman sarcastically called his mom's advice helpful in the photo's caption, but as it turns out, Field was ready to help after all. Not one to mince words, Field retweeted her son's post with a simple caption: Rippon's screen name. Greisman's all-too-relatable response? "Yikes."
Field told Buzzfeed that her son was more than a little embarrassed by her retweet — after all, who wouldn't be a little red-faced if their A-list mother publicly called out their celebrity crush? But embarrassed or not, it proved to be an effective way of (eventually) getting Rippon's attention.
