Team USA hockey star Hilary Knight and speedskater Brittany Bowe announced their engagement during the 2026 Winter Olympics, sharing the news on social media. Knight proposed to Bowe, who accepted, marking a joyous moment for the American delegation.

Knight and Bowe first connected during the 2022 Beijing Olympics, bonding over evening walks away from competition pressures. The two-time bronze medalist Bowe finished fourth in the 1,000m and team pursuit events at these Games, while Knight's hockey team prepares for the gold medal match against Canada.

Their engagement adds to the Olympic romance narrative, following skier Breezy Johnson's recent proposal. Knight's team faces Canada Thursday at 1:10 p.m. ET for the gold medal, with the hockey star balancing personal celebration and professional pursuit of Olympic glory.
