NFL Player Ryan Russell Protests for Black Lives Matter with Boyfriend Corey O'Brien

Ryan Russell holds a “No Justice, No Peace” sign while attending a Black Lives Matter protest on Thursday (June 4) in Pasadena, Calif.

The 28-year-old football player, who is currently a free agent, was joined by his boyfriend Corey O’Brien at the protest.

Earlier in the week, Ryan celebrated the start of pride month on Instagram and wrote, “PROUD BLACK & BISEXUAL. MY LIFE MATTERS. BLACK LIVES MATTER. #happypridemonth.”

Ryan recently wrote about his relationship on Instagram and said, “You have shown me the deepest parts of myself, about my weaknesses and my strengths, and how they all deserve to be loved.”

Check out the sweet photos of the couple that were taken on Valentine’s Day earlier this year. They have been public about their relationship for nearly a year after Ryan came out as bisexual.
