Lindsey Vonn popped the question to hockey star P.K. Subban.
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.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone!! On our 2 year anniversary, in a “non traditional” move, I asked PK to marry me and he said, Yes ☺️! Women aren’t the only ones who should get engagement rings! <a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/MerryChristmas?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>#MerryChristmas</a> <a href=”https://twitter.com/hashtag/equality?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw”>#equality</a> <a href=”https://t.co/hhdm85RoWi”>pic.twitter.com/hhdm85RoWi</a>

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 record for a woman.
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. She previously was married to former ski racer Thomas Vonn, and kept his last name after they separated.
