Olympic Gold Medalist, Lindsey Vonn, Proposes to Her Professional Hockey Player Boyfriend on Christmas

Retired Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn proposed to her boyfriend, professional hockey player, P.K. Subban, on Christmas Day.

35-year-old Vonn and the New Jersey Devils defenseman originally announced their engagement in August of this year. However, Vonn took the initiative to pop the question for a second time, in a grand gesture of gender inclusion.

In the post on Twitter, Subban proudly displays his hand, sporting his engagement ring alongside another photo of he and Vonn posing in pajamas with their three dogs.

“Merry Christmas and happy holidays, everyone!!” On our 2 year anniversary, in a ‘non-traditional’ move, I asked PK to marry me, and he said, Yes! Women aren’t the only ones who should get engagement rings!” Vonn tweeted.

Subban detailed how his initial proposal came together during an interview with Vogue.

“I got the ring and said, ‘You know what? I’m just going to do it home,'” he said, recounting the proposal. “Everything kind of came together on that day. Everyone says the stars aligned, well, it was actually a full moon. I was worried because I knew she would want to be dressed up and not in her pajamas, and it just so happened she had a business meeting, so she was fully dressed up.”

The couple, who began dating in 2017, have not announced a wedding date as of yet. However, during the Vogue interview, she stated that there would be no hurry to get down the aisle.

“We’re not in a big hurry to get married. It kind of depends on his playing schedule, and when we have time to sit down and go through it. I don’t want to stress him out because he has a big season coming.” Vonn stated.
