The couple's relationship began around 2020, gaining public attention during the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 when they shared a heartfelt moment on the field.
They officially confirmed their relationship in August 2021 through an Instagram post.
In September 2023, they got engaged, announcing it publicly in November of the same year.
Their engagement was followed by the news in November 2024 that they were expecting their first child. They are expected to marry in December this year.

Kerr is currently recovering from an ACL rupture suffered during a Chelsea training camp in early 2024.
Kerr returned to individual training in January, but a timeframe on a return to football is still not clear.
Her recovery has now gone well beyond the usual time for an ACL rupture, but Chelsea coach Sonia Bompastor is optimistic of a return in the near future.
The Matildas will next take to the pitch on May 30 and June 2 against Argentina as they build towards hosting the Women's Asian Cup next March.

Love Island's Shaughna Phillips showcases her six stone weight loss in stunning lingerie transformation snaps
Shaughna Phillips looked incredible as she showed off her nearly six stone weight loss in an impressive before and after snap. The former Love Island star, 31, has been working hard on her diet and fitness in recent years and has gone from 97kg (15st) to 61kg (9.6st). The influencer embarked on her weight loss journey following the birth of her daughter, Lucia, in 2023. In her latest post, Shaughna shared a photo of herself in white lingerie alongside another taken 14 months later after losing the weight. Alongside the post, she wrote: 'Let the record reflect, although I've dropped a few dress sizes, I will ALWAYS love a high waisted full brief.' The star was inundated with messages from followers who wrote: 'Well done'... 'You look happy with your new body that's all that matters lovely'... 'Well done you look amazing. Determined to be the strongest version of herself for her little one, she ditched old habits in favour of a disciplined meal plan and quick-fire boxing-inspired workouts. It comes after Shaughna, who was told previously she was clinically obsese, showed off her figure in a white bikini as she shared before and after shots of her weight loss. She posted three side-by-side pictures of herself on her weight loss journey - on day one, nine months in and just over a year later. She wrote over the top of it: 'This is me on day one fronting it out, showing sass I didn't feel.' The video then skipped to her at the end of her weight loss journey as she wore a similar bikini, showing off her weight loss. She added: 'Just hoping I'd get to here one day and still kinda shook that did.' The Love Island star has dropped five dress sizes after starting on her fitness and diet plan and is now a healthier nine stone 10lbs. Shaughna recently addressed claims she's used Ozempic to slim down, after stunning fans with her weight loss. She was hit by accusations that she used the drug Ozempic, which was previously used to treat diabetes but in recent years has been used by stars as an appetite suppressant. But the star has hit back at the claims, telling The Mirror: 'I love food way too much.' She went on to add: 'There's a new fad every other year. It just so happens that this is the fad this time around, and after I have lost weight. 'The thing is, it just coincided with the time when I had my daughter Lucia, and I had this baby weight, and everyone was commenting on it. 'Had it of been a few years prior, everyone would have been saying I had a BBL, or some magical liposuction that completely transformed how I looked.' Shaughna went on to add that she is 'terrified' by the prospect of the side effects of using Ozempic.

Royal Ascot Jockey FLOORED by horse moments after winning race as King Charles III watches on in shock
James Doyle was shockingly floored by runner Lazzat as he celebrated their win on the final day of Royal Ascot. Doyle claimed victory with the French four-year-old in the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes to complete a double after Humidity's win in the Chesham Stakes earlier on Saturday. But the jockey's celebrations were cut short after the 9-2 winner unshipped him moments after striding to victory. Lazzat, who is trained by Jerome Reynier and part-owned by the Emir of Qatar, then set off freely around the track, wildly galloping into the distance. Ascot staff desperately tried to chase Lazzat down but were unable to stop the four-year-old, who clearly had lots of energy left to burn. He was eventually retrieved and led to the winner's enclosure. "It's not a matador" 😆 Lazzat wants to continue the #RoyalAscot celebrations without James Doyle 😅 — ITV Racing (@itvracing) June 21, 2025 It came just moments after they held off favourite Satono Reve by just half a length to deny a first Japanese-trained winner at Royal Ascot and seal a first French win of the 2025 meeting. Doyle, 37, was unhurt despite being flung to the floor and laughed about it during his interview with ITV. Speaking after his win, he said: 'Trying to flash the sheet at him and he went around, but yeah, what can you say? 'I can't take any credit for this at all. Jerome and his team, they know all about him. 'His jockey from before, his young jockey in France, did a great job bringing him through the ranks. He also rode him in Australia when he ran such a good race in the Golden Eagle. We had all bases covered and I have to say that Jerome was very confident. 'He was saying all week: "Don't worry about the ground, he's fine". We mapped the pace out and I just thought: 'If I end up winning, I end up winning'. He [Reynier] said: "Don't worry, he won't stop". It worked out perfectly. 'I could feel him [Satono Reve] coming, but you won't get a more genuine horse than this. He really pinned his ears back when he joined me and he was always going to fend it off.' 'It does help when you get a double on the first day, you can just relax into it. If I had a pound for every time someone said to me: "That's it, the pressure is off"... but it's completely the opposite.

Jack Draper shares his tonsillitis struggle as Queen's campaign comes to an end
Jack Draper revealed he was suffering with tonsillitis after making an angry exit from Queen's Club. The British number one smashed his racket, damaging a digital advertising hoarding and grazing his knee, as his semi-final against Jiri Lehecka slipped away from him. Draper explained he was low on energy due to the illness and was getting angry in a bid to gee himself up. But when world number 30 Lehecka fizzed a backhand past him to break for 6-5 in the deciding set, the 23-year-old exploded with rage. 'It was bit of everything, really,' he said. 'The way I was sort of playing at times. Obviously the fact that I've worked so hard to get myself in that position. I really tried to get myself up, get the energy going. 'When you see that ball go past you on that point, you know, it's very tough to see yourself breaking in the next game, although I tried my best on that. 'I don't condone that behaviour, but at the same time, that's kind of where I was at today. 'I was trying to use everything I could. I tried to compete every ball. But in the end, anger just spilled over a little bit too much.' Draper had sounded under the weather earlier in the week and discovered he had tonsillitis on Friday. 'I haven't felt good all week,' he added. 'I'm proud of the way I went about things, considering, but it's tough, because you're in a position where you're in a professional sport. 'You're an entertainer, an athlete, and you have no choice. No one cares, you know. So you've just got to go out there and do the best you can. I'm proud of that. I gave myself a chance. 'Today's probably the worst I've felt. Did I think about withdrawing? No, not at all. I'm in the semi-finals at Queen's. I'd probably go on court with a broken leg. I wouldn't have pulled out for anything. 'So I went out there, gave all I had, and I can be very proud of that. And also, it's not an excuse. It's just the way I feel. 'I lost today because I lost to a better tennis player. He was better than me in the key moments. He served better. I think he was a bit braver at times.' It has still been a successful week for Draper, who will now take a few days off to recover in time for Wimbledon, where he will be seeded fourth thanks to his run in west London. Draper dug deep impressively to level the match after dropping the first set, but Lehecka, regularly firing down serves touching 140mph, was stronger down the finishing straight. The 23-year-old became the first Czech to reach the final at Queen's since Ivan Lendl in 1990 after a 6-4 4-6 7-5 victory.
