Hypólito was one of three male Brazilians in artistic gymnastics at the 2012 Summer Olympics.

In an interview, Diego revealed that it was in 2014 when he revealed to his family that he was gay. He was in China preparing for the World Championships when he texted her mom to tell her about it. He further said,

She didn’t reply to me for a while and when she did, she wasn’t very nice. Since I was the one who was closest to her of all her children, I think it must have been hard for her too. I was very ashamed to face my family. I distanced myself from them for almost a year, I even missed one Christmas because of how heavy things were. My father took it better and Daniele supported me fully. She said she always knew it even though I never said anything.”

After their retirement from gymnastics, Diego and Daniele participated in various dance and dating reality shows, such as Dança dos Famosos, Dancing Brasil, Exathlon, and Power Couple Brasil.

In 2019, Diego openly came out as gay. He also said in an interview that he wanted to do it earlier but due to sporting aspirations, he was unable to do it.

Since 2022, Diego and Daniele have been part of the circus show ‘Abracadabra’ at the Circo Reder in Nova Iguaçu, Baixada Fluminense.

There is a skill on floor exercise officially named after Diego Hypólito called ‘Hypólito on floor.’ The skill is a full-twisting Arabian double (front) layout and was assigned a D-score of F (0.6). It was successfully completed at the 2006 FIG Artistic Gymnastics World Cup Final in São Paulo, Brazil when he won the gold medal in the individual floor event, defeating the then reigning Olympic floor champion, Kyle Shewfelt of Canada, in the process.
