Anna Hall’s boyfriend is setting new standards, and so is she. At the 2025 World Athletics Championships in Tokyo, Anna Hall won her first global gold medal in the women’s heptathlon, scoring 6,888 points. This was her first gold medal in the World Championships, and while she celebrated with full force, her boyfriend’s excitement was no less. The one on his social media would know how the NFL player is head over heels at the moment.

“The Most Deserving❤️🤞🏾” wrote Darius Slayton, sharing an Instagram post from World Athletics that was a collage of Anna from all the events on his story. But he was just not satisfied with one; he posted USATF’s post as well, which announced Hall winning the gold. The NFL player wrote, “LEGENDARY !!!! Greatest heptathlete of all time argue wit ya Momma”. He is not just her boyfriend; he is her fan. And if you are wondering how many stories Slayton posted for his girlfriend, he had an answer for you.

Following the USATF one was another story, where we could see a Dyestat post for Anna Hall. Caption? “I’m reposting all the posts idc“. He was fanboying. And he was not stopping. After this was the post from tracktownusa that was featured on his story. The final one was the one from Hall’s sponsor, Adidas. They posted a carousel of the World Champion with Hall holding the American flag in the first one, and HALL OF FAME written around it.

They captioned, “Seven is her number, gold is her colour @annaa.hall is world champion 🥇” Anna Hall is the first American in thirty-two years to win a gold in the women’s heptathlon at World Athletics Championships. The last one was Jackie Joyner-Kersee in 1993. What about Slyaton? How long since they loved each other?

How Slayton keeps supporting Anna Hall

Darius Slayton and Anna Hall’s relationship first became public in late 2024, when Hall posted a lighthearted photo set on Instagram with the playful caption, “on the way 🏃🏽‍♀️❣️🐶🕺🏽💃🏽.” Ever since, the two have been supportive of each other. In June 2025, Hall achieved a personal best of 7,032 points at the Hypo-Meeting in Götzis, Austria, tying with Carolina Klüft for the second-highest score in heptathlon history, behind only Jackie Joyner-Kersee’s world record of 7,291 points. Slayton was there watching her in the arena that day.

Before Hall created history in Götzis, she shared a very wholesome moment with her boyfriend. The NFL player was present in the stadium where she was practicing. In an Instagram story, the two of them could be seen sharing a hug. “Means the world to have you here,” captioned Darius Slayton’s girlfriend, adding a red heart emoji. She also wrote, “This man has heard a lot of track rants.” Slayton is a wide receiver for the New York Giants in the NFL and has signed a $36 million contract for 3 years with the Giants back in March 2025. But none of that would be as worth as this relationship he is building with Anna Hall.
