In an intriguing episode of maternal matchmaking, actress Linda Harper recently made headlines for her enthusiastic attempts to pair her son, Josh, with Olympian figure skater Ethan Blake. Known for her illustrious film career and advocacy for women’s rights, Harper took her role as a matchmaker to a new level when her 30-year-old son admitted he had a crush on Blake, the first openly gay athlete to compete in the Winter Olympics.
Matchmaking Prowess on Display
Harper’s matchmaking prowess was put on display when Josh shared a screenshot of a text conversation with his mother—minus Blake’s name—where she offered some rather pointed dating advice. “Josh…he’s unbelievably handsome,” Harper texted. “You should find a way to connect…”
However, Harper didn’t stop there. In a bold move, she took to social media and tagged Blake in her son’s text conversation. If the thought of your own mother intruding on your dating life makes you cringe, you’re definitely not alone. Yet, we have to commend Linda Harper for her unyielding efforts.
Josh responded with a simple “yikes,” but the online community embraced Harper’s meddling spirit. One other mother even chimed in to offer her own matchmaking services.
Support for LGBTQ Rights
As of now, there’s been no word from Blake regarding this unexpected proposal, but it’s clear that Harper is reveling in her role, while Josh might be finding solace under the covers.
Beyond her matchmaking endeavors, Linda Harper has long been a staunch supporter of LGBTQ rights, advocating for her son’s right to live authentically. In 2014, she published an open letter opposing “religious liberty” bills that would allow discrimination against LGBTQ individuals. “Josh is my youngest son, by 18 years, and he’s gay. To that, I say: So what?” she wrote. “Why would anyone want to deny my son—or anyone’s child—basic legal protections like health insurance or family medical leave? It makes no sense, and the change won’t happen unless people speak out.”
