Simone Manuel might not have gotten the coveted gold at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, but she did manage to snag someone else’s heart of gold. People reports that the Olympian’s boyfriend, Denzel Franklin, popped the question on July 3. Per Swim Swam, the couple met at Stanford where he was a football player, and Manuel was (naturally) on the swim team.
Sharing a few pics on Instagram along with her new bling, Manuel wrote, “Major changes outside the pool as well. Easiest and quickest ‘YES’! Nothing tops being able to experience life’s blessing and challenges with your best friend. So excited to continue this journey called life with you!”
As far as those changed inside the pool that she was referring to, Manuel announced that she would be moving to a new team in Arizona. Keeping with the Olympian spirit, Manuel will be training under Michael Phelps’ former coach, Bob Bowman in her new home. Documenting her move to the Grand Canyon state, she wrote, “After a long and much-needed break, I have made major changes. I’m excited to announce that I will be training at ASU under the guidance of Bob Bowman, Herbie Behm, and the coaching staff at ASU!”
It sounds as though Manuel really excited for her future and all of those races in the pool she plans to crush, one stroke at a time.
