SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — On Monday Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman and former Oakland Raider player Colton Underwood confirmed they have been secretly dating for four months, according to Daily Mail.
Back in August, Underwood sent her a video congratulating her on her hard work and success in the Rio Olympics, and asked if she’d like to go on a double-date.
The date was supposed to be with Raisman’s friend, 2008 gold medalist Shawn Johnson, and her husband Andrew East, who is a long snapper for the Raiders.
However, things happened a little bit differently.
After the Olympics they happened to be in Denver at the same time, but had an extremely tight window to coordinate their first meeting.
“I was there for less than 12 hours,” Raisman said. “He was flying in for just a few days. It just ended up working perfectly.”
After that, Underwood made a few 90-minute drives to meet her for their second and third dates.
She has since met his family, and will be spending some time with them again throughout the holidays.
