""I was a closeted professional hockey player living their love story inside of a room or inside of Scott's apartment. That I really related to. "It's how I started my relationship with my fiancé." "I was a closeted professional hockey player, so for me it was really hard. "I felt really ashamed watching the show that I could put someone in that situation.""
""Poor guy, he was watching my games on TV for quite a long time before actually coming to one of my games," Keenan added. "The moment I met Rob, it really felt like he was the right person to shout to the world, 'OK, I'm in love with this guy.' So actually he gave me the trust and the confidence to really go outside and say, 'OK, I'm a hockey player and I'm in love with this guy as well.'""
Nicolás Keenan is a bisexual Argentine field hockey player who played for Dutch Hoofdklasse club Klein Zwitserland. He kept his relationship with Dutch politician Rob Jetten hidden while competing, describing himself as a closeted professional athlete. Keenan identified with the character Scott Hunter from Heated Rivalry, seeing parallels between the character's secret romance and his own early relationship. After meeting Jetten, Keenan decided he could no longer hide his sexuality and ended a full Olympic cycle of secrecy. The relationship now exists publicly as Jetten's political profile rises, and Keenan credits Jetten with giving him the confidence to live openly.
