Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe are engaged, according to the Seattle Storm, after Bird’s Instagram appeared to break the news. Bird and Rapinoe, already icons in their sports, can make more Olympic history together.
They would be the first known married couple of U.S. Olympic champions in different sports, according to Olympic historian Bill Mallon of the OlyMADMen.
Previously, swimmer Charlie Hickcox and diver Lesley Bush were married (and then divorced). But, technically, they competed in different disciplines of the same sport of aquatics.
