Sally Field is trying to set her son up with Adam Rippon: hes insanely pretty
Figure skater Adam Rippon, the first openly gay skater to win a medal in the Olympics, has won lots of hearts. Along with admiring his incredible skill, people love the fact that he performs to non-conventional skating tunes (like Rihanna and Coldplay) and has spoken out against Vice President Mike Pence’s support of gay conversion therapy. The 28-year-old athlete has been getting lots of attention – and he’s also got a celebrity eyeing him as a potential suitor for her son.
Oscar-winning actress and national treasure Sally Field is also a damn cool mom, but she may have overstepped her bounds when her son, 30-year-old director Sam Greisman, told her that he had a crush on the skater. Since it is February, Sally tried to play Cupid, giving her son some advice. Apparently, she didn’t think Sam was making the right moves, so Sally took to Twitter to get the word out.
Sally, who is considerably more tech savvy than my parents, retweeted her son, who had posted part of a text exchange with Sally. Sally wrote of Adam, “he’s insanely pretty. Find a way.” Sam shared the screenshot, adding, “Just some really helpful advice from my mom on how to deal with an Olympic crush.” When Sally shared the tweet, she tagged Adam. Crafty, Sally, really crafty. No one is sure if Adam’s seen the tweet, but Sam sure did, simply tweeting “Yikes.”

Has a parental set-up ever been successful? Speaking from personal experience, I have to say no. My parents’ pickers are way off. I remember getting set up in my 20s with a son of a friend of my Dad’s who looked exactly like Jason Alexander as George Costanza. We were going to a fancy event, and when he picked me up, he announced there was no a/c in his car – in Florida in the summer. Needless to say that was one and done, but my Mom fared no better. Of course, Sally Field is a legend and anyone would be delighted to have her as a mother-in-law. I hope she can make a love connection between Sam and Adam.
Sadly, those of us who aren’t looking to date Adam aren’t going to see more of him on TV. After it was announced on Sunday that Adam was going to join NBC as a correspondent for the rest of the games, he later tweeted that he turned down the gig, wanting to be there for his teammates and participate in the closing ceremonies with them. Aww. How sweet. Go get him, Sally.
