Crumbl Founder Sawyer Hemsley Marks One Year with Boyfriend Antonio Bruno

Sawyer Hemsley is in celebration mode as he and boyfriend Antonio Bruno reach a significant relationship milestone: their first year together.

The 34-year-old Crumbl Cookies co-founder came out as gay last year, introducing Antonio to the public just a month later. The couple's connection began as a friendship after connecting on Instagram.

On Monday, June 22, Antonio shared a commemorative photo on Instagram with the caption "1 year with you." Sawyer followed suit with his own set of images, accompanying them with an intimate reflection on their partnership.

"Sunsets with you. There's so much noise in the world. So much negativity, judgment, and people trying to tear each other down. But somehow, being with you makes all of that feel so small," Hemsley wrote. "You remind me that people are the real key to happiness. We all deserve to feel loved, supported, and surrounded by joy, excitement, laughter, and genuine connection. Life is far too short not to experience those things."

He continued: "Growing alongside you, making memories, and experiencing this beautiful life together has become my favorite thing. I'm so grateful for you and the happiness you bring into my world."

The milestone comes as Hemsley's professional life enters a new chapter. Last month, he and his cousin Jason McGowan, who serves as Crumbl's co-founder, announced they would be stepping back from day-to-day leadership roles while maintaining positions on the company's board.

"We are incredibly proud of what we have built," the pair said in a statement. "What started as an idea between cousins has turned into something bigger than we ever expected. The foundation is strong and the future is exciting."

The cookie company, which has become a cultural phenomenon, was valued at approximately $2 billion according to Forbes reporting from last year.
