After qualifying for the 2024 Olympics, Swimmer Lilly King gets engaged
Lilly King is not only heading to the Paris Olympics, but also down the aisle.
Right after securing her spot at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Indianapolis on June 20 for her second event at the 2024 Games, the swimmer received a surprise engagement.
After coming in second in the 200-meter breaststroke, King was surprised by her boyfriend James Wells, who got down on one knee and proposed.
“Watching you grow has been amazing,” he expressed in a video from NBC Sports. “I have no regrets about leaving my job and moving halfway across the country to be with you. I’m thrilled to see where this journey takes us.”
King said yes and sealed the moment with a kiss, completely caught off guard by the proposal.
