Shawn Johnson received countless medals during her career as a gymnast. But on July 24, 2015, she received her first ring. The former Olympic star became engaged to her boyfriend, Andrew East, at Wrigley Field before a Chicago Cubs game. Johnson won a gold medal and three silver medals as a member of the U.S. gymnastics team at the 2008 Summer Olympics. East, a former long snapper at Vanderbilt University, signed a free agent contract with the Kansas City Chiefs in May.

Caroline Wozniacki and J.J. Watt

Tennis star Caroline Wozniacki and NFL defensive end J.J. Watt were seen together at the NCAA men's basketball national championship game between Wisconsin and Duke on April 6, 2015 in Indianapolis, leading to much speculation as to whether or not the two were a couple. After the two were spotted enjoying a private weekend in Fisher Island, Fla., and Watt was seen in Paris supporting Woz at the French Open, the speculation was over.

Lauren and Jrue Holiday

The NBA point guard and the two-time Women's World Cup champion started dating toward the end of their college careers at UCLA—she turned pro after graduation; he did after his freshman year—and they got married in 2013.

Patrick and Stenhouse had raced against each other for two seasons in the Nationwide Series, but waited to reveal their relationship until after the Charlotte Motor Speedway's annual media tour in Feb. 2013. Patrick may be one of the most recognizable drivers in auto racing, but Stenhouse more than holds his own on the track, winning eight races from 2011-2012 and consecutive Nationwide titles.

Andre Agassi and Steffi Graf

Bryan Caraway ran a college MMA club at Central Washington University where he met Miesha Tate, a former high school wrestler who knew nothing about mixed martial arts.

Former Olympic track star Jones and bronze medal-winning sprinter Thompson have stuck together through Jones' 2007 admission that she used performance-enhancing drugs in rounding up five medals at the 2000 Summer Olympics. They have two children together — Ahmir and Eva-Marie.

These pitchers might never have met if Daigle's teammate at the Arizona Diamondbacks' spring training in 2002 hadn't convinced him to watch Finch throw for the Arizona Wildcats. Since then, Daigle has remained unintimidated by Finch's 60-game NCAA winning streak or gold and silver medals in the 2004 and 2008 Olympics. The two have been married since 2005 and have three children — Ace, Diesel and Paisley.

Shelden Williams and Candace Parker

Parker married one of the few men who doesn't have to look up to her in the former Duke man. After drifting through seven NBA teams, Williams has played in the Euroleague and in China, while Parker has been a standout player for the Los Angeles Sparks since she became the WNBA's first rookie MVP in 2008. Either way, their daughter Lailaa has some serious basketball genes.

Kristi Yamaguchi and Bret Hedican

Having first met at the 1992 Winter Games in Albertville, France, where he played for the U.S. hockey team and she won gold in women's singles figure skating, they didn't start dating until they crossed paths at the opening of Vancouver's hockey arena three years later. They were married in 2000 and have two daughters — Keara and Emma.

Granato led the U.S. women's hockey team to their first ever Olympic gold in the event in 1998, as well as a silver medal in 2002, while Ferraro was an 18-year veteran of the NHL. The two married in 2004. Both are tough as nails, which has come in handy when raising their two boys, Reese and Riley.

J.J. Watt and Caroline Wozniacki sat together and cheered on Wisconsin during the NCAA men's basketball championship Monday night. Are they an item? Who knows, but it's a good excuse to showcase the above gallery of athlete couples (click here for full-size version).

Scott Steiner vs. Hulk Hogan

Pro wrestling may be known for exaggerating the truth, but the most recent incident between Scott Steiner and Hulk Hogan is no joke. According to TMZ, Steiner approached Hogan's wife, Jennifer, at the San Jose Airport on March 26, the Thursday before WrestleMania, and told her his plan to "kill Terry as soon as he lands." Hogan's real name is Terry Bollea. Not sure why Steiner was so upset but he's being investigated for "felony terrorist threats." I suggest Steiner follow his buddy Buff Bagwell and become a gigolo.

Burger King To Pay For Burger-King Wedding

It pays to marry someone who's last name combined with yours makes the same name as a fast-food chain. Just ask Joel Burger and Ashley King, who are getting married with Burger King picking up the tab. I haven't seen this lucky a name coincidence since this guy traveled around-the-world with a girl who shared the same name as his ex-girlfriend.

P.M. Lovely Lady of the Day

Not only is Jamie Chung ridiculously attractive, but also she has a thing for sneakers. That's a rare combo that must be celebrated (click here for full-size gallery).
