What's the best way to celebrate after winning a record fifth gold medal at the Olympics [1]? If you ask Sue Bird, it might just be a kiss from fiancée Megan Rapinoe. On Aug. 8, after the US women's basketball team defeated host nation Japan 90-75, it didn't take long for Sue to find Megan in the crowd so they could experience the win together. "[I'm] honestly inspired, and it feels like corny to say, but it's like everything you would want in someone that you would look up to. Obviously, I get to be with her and I love her [2], that's the most special part," Megan told NBC. Later, she shared a photo of the pair's kiss along with the caption, "I am so proud of you @sbird10 [3] ❤️. As if I could love you any more 🥰. Congrats baby!"
The couple first started dating in 2016 [4], after meeting at a sponsored event for the Rio Olympics. "It was kinda like, 'OK, we both live in Seattle, we should be friends. Why aren't we friends? [5]'" Megan previously told The Seattle Times. After dating for four years, Megan proposed in October 2020 [6]. You can see pictures of the power couple's adorable reunion ahead.
