Presenting: The Many Olympic Athlete Engagements That Have Taken Place During the Milano Cortina Games

The latest couple to get engaged is Team USA hockey team captain Hilary and her speed skater GF Brittany, both of whom are currently competing in the 2026 Winter Games. Hilary popped the question on February 18, and she later posted a video of the moment on Instagram, writing, “Olympics brought us together. This one made us forever.”

Four years earlier, the couple went on their first date during the Beijing Games. As Brittany previously explained to People, the “bubble” created by the pandemic gave them a chance to connect without distractions.

“Hilary would ask, like, ‘Oh, do you want to go for a walk after dinner?’ And that was our first date, going to walk around the Olympic Village masked because everyone was so fearful of getting COVID,” Brittany explained.
