The Truth About Cody Rigsby's Relationship

Over the course of the pandemic, Cody Rigsby has become a household name as one of the most popular Peloton instructors in the world. As highlighted by the Los Angeles Times, Peloton grew from 1.6 million users in early 2020 to nearly 6 million in June 2021, and Rigsby's fame has skyrocketed as a result. 

The fitness instructor's popularity has fans asking for photos and autographs whenever he goes out in public. In his interview with the LA Times, Rigsby shared, "I have to put a little bit more of a guard up now. Because if I'm out with friends and I'm having a good time, which probably includes drinking, I don't want to be too messy."

But when he does go out, who is by his side? Fans of Rigsby are well aware that he has a boyfriend, but what do we know about his partner? How long have they been together, and what are they up to today? Let's dig into Rigsby's relationship. 

According to Vogue, Cody Rigsby began dating his partner, Andrés Alfaro, three years ago. However, it wasn't until March 2020 that they went public with their romance. In his interview with Vogue, Rigsby shared about his personal life and telling the public about his boyfriend, saying, "I've been a little guarded, but I've recently opened up because so much of what we do [at Peloton] is storytelling and being vulnerable." 

Alfaro works as a fitness instructor at Barry's Bootcamp. His bio on the company's website states, "Three words to describe my teaching style would be fierce results, driven, and challenging. My classes are dynamic, and rewarding so you can expect to push past their limits and leave feeling rewarded and inspired by the results." As for some of his personal interests, Alfaro shared, My favorite day of the week is Tuesday, Full Body, Lower Body Focus, and my playlist genre of choice is EDM." He added that he can't live without his Nespresso and his guilty pleasure is cream cheese bagels.

The question of why Cody Rigsby wasn't partnered with a male on the current season of "Dancing With the Stars" has made headlines over the past few months, considering JoJo Siwa was partnered with Jenna Johnson, per Entertainment Weekly. Speaking to GLAAD's Anthony Ramos, Rigsby recently shared, "When the conversation opportunity came up for 'Dancing With The Stars,' I was just so excited to be on the show, I guess I didn't even think it was a possibility." He added, "So I didn't bring it up. Had I maybe had a moment to breathe and recognize an opportunity, I definitely would have asked!"

Rigsby's time on the dance show hasn't come without its trials. According to The Washington Post, both Rigsby and his "DWTS" partner, Cheryl Burke, tested positive for COVID-19 and were forced to compete virtually and separately. The diagnosis marked Rigsby's second time testing positive for the coronavirus this year, despite the fact that both he and Burke are vaccinated. Fortunately, the athletes returned to the dance floor, ultimately coming in third place in the competition.

Whatever adventure Rigsby tackles next, we're sure his boyfriend will keep cheering him on along the way.
