Megan Rapinoe Husband: How did Sue Bird meet her wife?

Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird are known for their incredible skill on the soccer field and basketball court, respectively — and between the two of them, the athletes have even won seven Olympic medals.

As a sports power couple, it is only fitting that they met at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro and started dating shortly after. They got engaged in October 2020 and are currently planning their wedding — but Bird admitted to PEOPLE in December 2020 that they were in no rush to tie the knot.

“I think we are both totally okay with the fact that this might not happen for a year, maybe two,” the WNBA player said, adding, “We’ve always kind of known that this was forever, so we aren’t necessarily in a rush.”

Speaking on their relationship, Rapinoe also told PEOPLE in April 2021 that she is “lucky” to share life with Bird. “I think I pinch myself all the time thinking how lucky we are to be in this life together,” she admitted.

Curious to learn more about their romance? Here’s a complete timeline of Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird’s relationship.
