“I can’t believe you’re going to be my wife,” he shared in his own social media post of the engagement. “I’m truly the luckiest man on earth to have such a gentle, caring and beautiful woman by my side. You fill my heart to the brim and give my soul peace.”
The British swimmer, who won gold at the 2016 Summer Olympics, added, “You have been with me when I’ve been at my lowest and helped me understand myself to navigate my own darkness. You have also celebrated the highs which have been so many, as for the first time in my life, I’m happy with the man I’ve become.”
“Your family have always treated me so generously with their time, emotion and trust,” he continued. “I can’t wait to be joined with them too. I’ve always believed that when two people are engaged and later married that we are no longer two people but we join as one and it’s the biggest privilege to share that with you.”
