From 1983 to 1989, Louganis was involved romantically with his manager, R. James "Jim" Babbitt. Louganis has described the relationship as abusive, saying that, at one point in 1983, Babbitt raped him at knife point.<ref name="public glory">{{cite magazine |title=Public Glory, Secret Agony |url=http://www.newsweek.com/public-glory-secret-agony-180724 |magazine=Newsweek |date=March 5, 1995}}</ref> Louganis also accused Babbitt of taking 80 percent of his earnings.<ref name="ex-agent">{{cite news |title=Louganis, Ex-Agent in Dispute : Olympic Diver Says in Court Papers He Feared for His Life |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1989-03-29-sp-617-story.html |date=March 29, 1989 |first=Grahame L. |last=Jones |newspaper=Los Angeles Times}}</ref>

Six months before the 1988 Olympics, Louganis was diagnosed with HIV; he had contracted the virus from Babbitt.<ref name="public glory" /> His doctor placed him on the [[antiretroviral]] drug [[Zidovudine|AZT]], which he took every four hours round the clock.<ref name="public glory" />

In 1989, Louganis obtained a [[restraining order]] against Babbitt.<ref name="ex-agent" /> Babbitt died of AIDS in 1990.<ref name="public glory" />

When Louganis turned 33, in 1993, he agreed to gather friends and family for a birthday party, but one that he envisioned as a final goodbye, as he was in failing health and thought he would soon die of AIDS.<ref name="far from falling" />

But, with treatment, he kept going and, in 1994, at the opening ceremony at that year's [[Gay Games]], Louganis came out publicly as gay in a pre-taped announcement, at the encouragement of the event's organizers.<ref>{{cite book |title=The Gay Games: A History |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mm18AgAAQBAJ&pg=PT227 |first=Caroline |last=Symons |publisher=Routledge |year=2010 |isbn=9781134027897}}</ref> Even before then, however, he led a life that has been described as "openly gay."<ref name="public glory" />

In 1995, around the time of the release of his memoir, ''[[Breaking the Surface]]'', Louganis revealed his HIV status in an interview with [[Barbara Walters]], speaking openly, for the first time, about being both gay and HIV-positive.<ref name="ESPNTheBody" />

In June 2013, Louganis announced, in ''[[People (magazine)|People]]'' magazine, his engagement to his partner, paralegal Johnny Chaillot.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://people.com/celebrity/greg-louganis-engaged-to-johnny-chaillot/ |title=Greg Louganis Engaged to Johnny Chaillot |access-date=November 18, 2018}}</ref> The two were married on October 12, 2013,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://people.com/celebrity/greg-louganis-marries-johnny-chaillot/ |title=Greg Louganis Marries Johnny Chaillot |access-date=November 18, 2018}}</ref> but on June 18, 2021, Louganis revealed on [[Instagram]] that he and Chaillot were ending their marriage.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.eonline.com/news/1281697/olympian-greg-louganis-and-johnny-chaillot-split-after-8-years-of-marriage |title=Olympian Greg Louganis and Johnny Chaillot Split After 8 Years of Marriage |date=June 19, 2021 |access-date=June 20, 2021}}</ref>
