Lindsey Vonn popped the question to hockey star P.K. Subban.
“Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone!! On our 2 year anniversary, in a ‘non traditional’ move, I asked P.K. to marry me and he said, Yes,” Vonn tweeted on Christmas Day. “Women aren’t the only ones who should get engagement rings!”
The former ski racer closed the tweet with the hashtags #MerryChristmas and #equality.
Vonn linked a picture of herself and Subban with the ring, with the couple wearing matching striped pyjamas in front of a Christmas tree with three dogs in the foreground. She also posted a close-up of Subban flashing the ring, with the words “Drip drip” and a blue teardrop.
Vonn also said on social media in August that they were engaged.
The 35-year-old Vonn recently retired from a skiing career that included three Olympic medals, four overall World Cup titles and 82 World Cup race wins, a women’s skiing record.
The 30-year-old Subban won the 2013 Norris Trophy with Montreal as the NHL’s top defenceman. He was traded to New Jersey from Nashville in June.
Vonn had a high-profile relationship with Tiger Woods and previously was married to former ski racer Thomas Vonn. She kept his last name after they separated.
