Swimmer Lilly King’s Boyfriend Proposes After She Qualifies for Olympics


Lilly King and her boyfriend, James Wells, got engaged on Thursday, June 20, moments after she qualified for the Paris Olympics

“News travels fast but I’m engaged,” King gushed in a press conference, telling reporters that she was caught off-guard by Wells’ proposal. “I will be watching in Los Angeles [in 2028], and I’m good with that decision,” she told the Indianapolis Star earlier in June, announcing her retirement. After appearing on the Indiana University swim team as a sprint specialist until his 2014 graduation, he raced in the 100-meter men’s backstroke during the Wave 1 Olympic Trials in 2021 but has not competitively swam since then.
