Olympian Gabby Thomas and Spencer McManes Get Engaged

Olympic gold medallist Gabby Thomas is enhancing her collection with some additional glitter. After dating Spencer McManes for more than two years, the track and field athlete revealed that she is engaged to him.

Former Yale football player Spencer proposed to Gabby while on a vacay in Austin, Texas, which Gabby assumed was just a pre-track season vacation. He did, however, hire an Airbnb and use flowers to adorn the roof for the important occasion.

In an interview with Vogue that was released on March 25, she said: “That’s when I realized, ‘Oh my gosh, this is happening,’” 

 “Normally he’s very bad with surprises—and this was the one surprise I think I’ve ever witnessed him keep.”

Gabby Thomas and Spencer McManes’s romantic timeline

Given that Gabby had been a Harvard athlete, Spencer and Gabby were officially rivals before their 2022 romance. Additionally, the couple’s tale of meeting was only a little corny.

Upon seeing Spencer’s Instagram, Gabby, who was acquainted with him through common connections, was immediately drawn to his pizza reviews. She said to the publication: “I’m a huge fan of pizza myself,”  “I was like, ‘This looks like really good quality content.'”

Spencer gained a following as a result, and when seeing the name of the champion sprinter, he was taken aback.

He said to Vogue: “I got the notification that I had a new follower. I was like, ‘That’s crazy! Gabby Thomas?’”. “I immediately DM’d her and asked, ‘What did I do to earn a follow?'”

Spencer went on to assist Gabby during the 2024 Olympic Games, where she won three gold medals, and the rest is history.
