Olympic Star Gabby Thomas Gets Engaged in a Rooftop Romance
Ah yes, yet another dazzling chapter in the fairy tale of love and athletic prowess! Olympic track sensation Gabby Thomas has traded in her sweatbands for a sparkling engagement ring after a jaw-dropping proposal from her beau, Spencer McManes. This wasn’t your average “He put a ring on it” moment; oh no! McManes, the mastermind behind drink brand Kaviva, planned an enchanting surprise during their Texas staycation that would make even the most seasoned rom-com director weep with envy. Picture this: a breathtaking rooftop setting, a hidden photographer ready to immortalize the moment, and a stunned Gabby who, let’s be honest, usually sees through her man’s surprise attempts like a seasoned detective. It’s almost as if Cupid himself orchestrated this charming escapade.
Their love story began in 2021, sparked by a mutual friend who clearly had an eye for matchmaking. With a simple Instagram follow, McManes found himself swirling in a romantic whirlwind, messaging Gabby with, “What did I do to earn a follow?” Spoiler alert: apparently, all he had to do was exist in the same social media sphere as a gold medalist. They officially started dating in 2022, and now, with wedding bells on the horizon, one can only wonder if they’ll host their nuptials on another rooftop to keep the romantic theme alive.
In case you’re wondering, Gabby isn’t the only athlete in this power couple; McManes has his own athletic accolades, having played football at Yale and later for the Austin Huns Rugby Club. So, as they embark on this new journey together, let’s raise our glasses (or perhaps a Kaviva beverage) to love, athleticism, and the sweet sound of wedding plans in the air.
Class dismissed. Try not to let this newfound wisdom go to waste.
