USA Olympics star Gabby Thomas has revealed she is engaged to her longtime boyfriend Spencer McManes.
The 28-year-old Thomas, who won three gold medals at the Paris Olympics last year, announced the news on social media via an interview with Vogue.
Thomas said the proposal was a surprise, saying about her partner: 'Normally he's very bad with surprises—and this was the one surprise I think I've ever witnessed him keep.'
McManes staged the romantic proposal on the rooftop of the AirBnB the couple had rented for a small staycation in Travis heights before the Olympian's track season started backup.
He had decorated the space with flowers and had recruited her best friend and a photographer, Thomas revealed to Vogue.
Thomas and McManes, the founder of non-alcoholic seltzer brand Kaviva, began dating in the fall of 2022 but had first started talking a year before.
A mutual friend had floated the possibility of a flirtation between the two to the sprinter and, despite their Harvard-Yale rivalry, Thomas decided to grace McManes with an Instagram follow.
'I got the notification that I had a new follower. I was like, "That's crazy!"' McManes recalled. 'I immediately DM'd her and asked, "What did I do to earn a follow?"'
After several months of online flirting, McManes finally took the plunge asking Thomas on a date and the rest is history.
