I really, really need to know. Bruce Bennett / Getty Images Since Tay and KillerTrav are 💍 official, I figured I'd run back all the celebrities who are currently married (or engaged) to professional athletes, and perhaps it'll help us figure out which date Taylor and Travis choose for their nuptials. 1. First up, fashion designer and singer Victoria Beckham and former professional soccer player David Beckham were married on July 4, 1999. Finnbarr Webster / Getty Images The pair met when Victoria was still Posh Spice and David played for Manchester United in 1997. They announced their engagement the next year and were married a few months after their son, Brooklyn, was born in 1999.
In a 2017 BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs interview, David said, "We know each other better than anybody. People have talked about, 'Do we stay together because it's a brand?' Of course not. We stay together because we love each other, because we have four amazing children. Do you go through tough times? Of course. That's part of relationships. It's part of marriages. It's part of having children. It's part of having responsibilities." 2. Professional gymnast Simone Biles and Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens were married on April 22, 2023. Amy Sussman / Getty Images The pair officially met on the Raya dating app in March 2020, went Instagram official that summer, and became engaged two years later after supporting each other's successful athletic careers.

He told his friend on the elevator going down, 'She's the one,' and I called my best friend, who was my matron of honor, my makeup artist for legitimately 24 years, my best friend, right, and I said, 'Yoli, I don't want to jinx anything, but I think...' and she goes, 'He's the one,' and I go, 'Yessss.'" 4.
