Olympic Star Gabby Thomas
I’m Engaged!!!
… After Rooftop Proposal
Published
Gabby Thomas has more bling than just her Olympic gold medals … the track star is engaged after her man got down on one knee and popped the question — and the rock is massive!
Gabby and her fiancée Spencer McManes announced the amazing news on Tuesday … revealing he proposed during a staycation in Texas.
McManes — founder of drink brand Kaviva — picked a romantic spot … the rooftop of an Airbnb where they were staying. Gabby’s best friend, as well as a photographer, were waiting to capture the special moment.
Thomas was totally shocked … “Normally he’s very bad with surprises, and this was the one surprise I think I’ve ever witnessed him keep.”
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
The couple first connected in 2021 through social media after a mutual friend suggested they’d make a cute couple. Once Thomas followed him on Instagram, he DM’d her.
“I got the notification that I had a new follower,” McManes said, “I was like, ‘That’s crazy! Gabby Thomas?‘”

“I immediately DM’d her and asked, ‘What did I do to earn a follow?'”
Well, their friend was right … the two started dating the following year, and now they’re about to plan a wedding!
FYI, Thomas — who secured three gold medals in the 2024 Olympics — isn’t the only athlete in this relationship. McManes played for the Yale football team from 2013 to 2016. He also played for Austin Huns Rugby Club.
Congrats!
