Two female athletes are engaged and in the same year had to prepare to compete in the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
Megan Rapinoe, a soccer player, and Sue Bird, a basketball player, were both named to Team USA’s respective squads for each sport.
Of course, this entails further training for the soon-to-be-weds before wedding planning or something in the between.
Are Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe married?
Rapinoe and Bird announced their engagement in October 2020, after four years of dating.
The couple used social media to announce their relationship milestone. Bird didn’t add a caption to a photo of Rapinoe proposing to her beside a pool in Antigua at the time.
Bird subsequently told GQ, “There was a look in her eye.” “It was obvious to me. I was aware of the situation.” Rapinoe was celebrating her 40th birthday in the tropical paradise when the incident occurred.
Following the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the pair agreed the moment felt perfect.
Many same-sex couples were anxious about their rights as same-sex couples in the fall of 2020, whether it was access to healthcare or family planning requirements.
Rapinoe has always been aware of the stakes in her relationship.
