Valentine's Day may be over, but love is still in the air for two Team USA Olympians.
Women's ice hockey forward Hilary Knight, 36, and speedskater Brittany Bowe, 37, announced their engagement in an Instagram post Wednesday morning.
"Olympics brought us together. This one made us forever," Knight and Bowe wrote alongside a video showing Knight getting down on one knee and presenting a red box and engagement ring to Bowe.
Knight and Bowe are in Italy for the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina. Knight is captain of the U.S. women's hockey team and gearing up for Thursday's gold medal matchup against Canada.
Bowe, a long track speed skater and a four-time Olympian, will compete next on Feb. 20 in the women's speedskating 1,500-meter race.
The longtime couple first met at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games, according to The Associated Press, and fell in love at the 2022 Beijing Games, as Bowe told Team USA last year.
"She asked if I wanted to go on a walk," Bowe recalled of her interaction with Knight at the 2022 Beijing Games. "That became our routine. We'd walk the [Olympic] Village after dinner and just talk. It was cool living in a bubble and not having outside distractions."
Knight and Bowe aren't the first couple to get engaged at the Olympics this month.
Skier Breezy Johnson said yes to boyfriend Connor Watkins' proposal at the super-G finish line last week. Spanish figure skater Olivia Smart also got engaged to her former rival, British American ice dancer Jean-Luc Baker, in Milan, and Ukrainian freestyle skier Kateryna Kotsar got engaged to her boyfriend Bohdan Fashtryha after qualifying for the women's big air final at Livigno Snow Park in Livigno, Italy.
