Simone Biles, the pint-sized powerhouse of gymnastics, and football player Jonathan Owens met in 2020 on a dating app—because even gold medalists need a little help swiping right. Controversially, Jonathan claimed he didn’t know who Simone was when they first connected. Yes, the most decorated gymnast in history, and he had no clue.
Fast forward to May 2023, and the pair said “I do” in a dreamy Cabo San Lucas ceremony that had more flips and cheers than a gymnastics meet. With Simone’s Olympic medals and Jonathan’s NFL career, their trophy shelf is probably sturdier than most relationships.
Patrick Mahomes, the Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterback, and Brittany Mahomes, a retired soccer player turned fitness entrepreneur, are the high school sweethearts who never fumbled their love story. The pair met as teens in Texas, where Patrick was already throwing touchdowns and Brittany was scoring goals.
After years of dating, Patrick popped the question in 2020, and the couple tied the knot in a lavish Hawaiian wedding in March 2022. Now, with two adorable kids and a shared love for sports, they’re the MVPs of both the NFL and family life. Brittany may have retired from soccer, but she’s still kicking it as Patrick’s biggest cheerleader.
NFL athlete JJ Watt and Kealia Ohai, a former professional soccer player with a killer left foot, are a match made in sports heaven. The two were introduced by JJ’s former teammate, Brian Cushing, who also happens to be Kealia’s brother-in-law. Talk about keeping it in the (sports) family!
After dating for several years, JJ and Kealia tied the knot in February 2020 in a picturesque ceremony in the Bahamas. With JJ’s towering presence and Kealia’s speed and agility, they’re the perfect blend of strength and finesse. Now proud parents to a baby boy, the couple continues to prove that teamwork makes the dream work.
Alex Morgan,a cornerstone of the U.S. Women’s National Team, and Servando Carrasco, a professional soccer player in his own right, are the ultimate soccer power couple. The two met while playing college soccer at the University of California, Berkeley, where their shared love for the beautiful game blossomed into something even more beautiful.
The couple tied the knot on New Year’s Eve in 2014 in a romantic ceremony in Santa Barbara, California. With Alex’s World Cup wins and Olympic gold medals and Servando’s professional soccer career, their household is basically a shrine to the sport.
Lauren Holiday, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and former U.S. Women’s National Team soccer star, and NBA champion Jrue are a couple that defines resilience and love. The two met in college at UCLA, where Lauren was dominating the soccer field and Jrue was making waves on the basketball court.
The pair married in July 2013 in a heartfelt ceremony that marked the beginning of a partnership built on mutual respect and unwavering support. Their love was put to the test in 2016 when Lauren was diagnosed with a brain tumor while pregnant with their first child. Jrue took a leave of absence from the NBA to be by her side, showcasing the depth of their bond. Now, with two children and a shared commitment to philanthropy, the Holidays are a shining example of love conquering all.
