Summary
- Skier Breezy Johnson received an Olympic proposal.
- The proposal box featured lyrics from Taylor Swift.
- Connor Watkins planned the surprise engagement for a year.
Team USA skier Breezy Johnson received a surprise marriage proposal from her longtime boyfriend, Connor Watkins, on February 12, 2026. The romantic moment unfolded at the finish line following Johnson's final race at the Winter Olympics. Although Johnson experienced a crash during her Super-G competition, the proposal provided a significant personal victory.
Watkins, who had been dating Johnson for nearly two-and-a-half years, meticulously planned the proposal over the course of a year. A unique detail of the engagement was the wooden box containing the ring, which was inscribed with lyrics from Taylor Swift's song 'The Alchemy.' Johnson herself had expressed a dream of being engaged at the Olympics, a wish that has now been surpassed by the reality of the event.
Ahead of the Winter Games, Taylor Swift had sent an encouraging message to Team USA Olympians on February 6, 2026, expressing her gratitude for their dedication and hard work. While Swift has not yet publicly commented on Johnson's engagement, her earlier message highlighted the inspirational nature of the athletes' journeys.
