Gabby Thomas Shines Bright: Engagement to Spencer McManes Steals the Spotlight!

Olympic gold medalist Gabby Thomas is adding some new sparkle to her collection.

The renowned athlete in track and field announced that she is now engaged to her long-term partner, Spencer McManes, following more than two years of romance. Spencer, a previous Yale football player, took the opportunity during a vacation at home in Austin, Texas, to propose. Gabby believed it was just a relaxing break before her upcoming track season, but little did she know that he had rented an Airbnb and adorned the rooftop with flowers for this memorable occasion.

She shared with Vogue in a recent interview, “It was then that I understood, ‘Wow, this is actually happening,'” because usually, he struggles with surprises, and this was the rare occasion where he managed to keep one hidden.

Prior to starting their relationship in 2022, Spencer and Gabby were, in a sense, competitors rather than romantic partners. This was due to the fact that at that moment, Gabby was an athlete at Harvard.

And the couple’s story of how they met was only slightly cheesy.

When Gabby, acquainted with Spencer through common friends, stumbled upon his Instagram account, a particular aspect caught her attention – his collection of pizza critique posts.

As a connoisseur of all things pizza, I wholeheartedly agree with the content they’ve shared. It immediately caught my attention and left me thinking, ‘This certainly seems to be top-notch material!’

This earned Spencer a follow, and he was shocked when he saw the champion sprinter’s name.

In my own words, when I received the alert about a fresh follower, I found myself exclaiming, “Wow, Gabby Thomas? This is unexpected!” I swiftly sent her a message, curious to know, “Could you enlighten me on what action of mine might have earned your follow?

After that, history took its course, and Spencer stood by Gabby during the 2024 Olympics. It was there that she claimed an impressive haul of three gold medals.

In the same exclusive chat with TopMob News prior to the 2024 Olympics, Gabby expressed her excitement about having the opportunity to share the experience with her loved ones. She called it a truly memorable occasion that she can’t wait for.
