Paris Olympic star Grant Holloway engaged his long-time college girlfriend Katie Chronister in a private, romantic style.

Holloway, a track star, who successfully defended his 110mH title at the Paris Olympic Games, announced their beautiful next step to forever on his Instagram page with a simple caption: "3.30.25💍"

The lovebirds met in 2017 as freshman students at the University of Florida and have been together ever since, supporting each other in their sports careers and other endeavours.

Despite keeping their relationship modest away from public eye, Chronister has always been very supportive in his career, attending all his major championships with romantic posts on her Instagram page.
