The whole world is reeling right now after watching the dream come true of Breezy Johnson at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics! Fresh off winning downhill gold, Breezy faced a dramatic turn in her super G race where she did not finish after a challenging run. But even that disappointment couldn’t overshadow the moment that awaited her!

Her boyfriend, Connor Watkins, proposed in front of cheering teammates and fans. Breezy said yes, instantly turning the finish line into one of the most talked-about moments of the Games, and even Taylor Swift couldn’t ignore it!

Just after that, Breezy shared the magic on Instagram with a series of photos. The first shows Connor kneeling with the ring as the crowd cheers. The second is a sweet snapshot of the couple together, smiling. The third one has the engagement ring, featuring a blue gem at the center and along with it was a piece of wood engraved with lyrics from Taylor Swift’s song “The Alchemy.”

The line, “Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?” was meaningful to both Breezy and Connor. She even captioedn it as, “Hey guys… meet Connor! My ex boyfriend! And current fiancé!!! 💍 Thank you to everyone who made this moment possible. It was everything I ever dreamed of. Kind of like Connor!”

Soon after Breezy’s post, Taylor Swift left a comment. “Where’s the trophy? He just comes running over to me, CONGRATULATIONS!!!” Buts seems like she really loved it!

Breezy Johnson says their relationship feels perfectly in sync with the Taylor Swift song featured in her proposal ring plaque. The song came out around the time they moved in together  and its story of a poet and an athlete felt just right for them. “I feel like he’s the poet and I’m the sports person,” Breezy said, grinning. “Every time we hear it, we smile and think about each other. It’s really special to us.” But how did this pair meet?

Breezy Johnson’s love story from first date to Olympic proposal

American skier Breezy Johnson first met her now fiancé… Connor Watkins on Bumble about two and a half years ago. Their first date was a casual brunch and at first, Connor didn’t even realize he was sitting across from an Olympic ski racer. It took him about ten minutes before Breezy mentioned her career but from that moment, their connection grew. Over time, Connor became a constant presence at her races, cheering her on from the sidelines.

While Breezy has built her life around the slopes, Connor works in construction. Despite their very different worlds, they’ve kept their relationship mostly private. After Breezy came out as bisexual in a November 2022 Instagram post… she told Team USA she wanted the spotlight to stay on her skiing rather than her personal life!

“I’m not hiding or worried about what people are going to ask me in the finish about my boyfriend or what not,” she said. “ I did get it out there because I wanted to get back to focusing on skiing. I would hope people credit my work ethic and my results, and not some announcement.” And now…it’s official…they’re engaged. But the proposal almost didn’t happen.

The engagement was carefully planned—but it almost didn’t happen. During the women’s super G race, Breezy was aiming for another strong result. Early in the run…one of her ski poles caught a gate throwing her off balance and into the safety fencing, and with it ended her chance to finish the race. And that’s when Connor’s nerves kicked into overdrive.

Connor admitted he had a backup plan in case Breezy crashed badly. “I was really nervous,” he said. “Every time she goes down the hill. I wanted her to do well, but I also wanted her to be safe too. She got up after the crash and was good, and that was a sign of relief. And then my heart started racing again because I knew I was about to go and get down on my own knee and propose.”

He added, “The mountains don’t always cooperate with what you’re planning”, so having a backup was essential.”Luckily, she got up and was fine, and we could stick with plan A,” he said. And with that, the finish line turned into one of the most magical moments of the Olympics.
