MEGAN RAPINOE AND SUE BIRD

They aren’t just one of the cutest celebrity LGBT couples, they also happen to be among the most athletic. Rapinoe, after all, is a professional soccer player, and is said to be one of the best in the world. Sue Bird, on the other hand, is a professional basketball player, who plays for the WNBA’s Seattle Storm. Which makes us curious about what these two beautiful people talk about at the dinner table—basketball or football? Or maybe they talk about the 5 Olympic gold medals between them?

In any case, this relationship is another example of the degree to which sliding into someone’s DMs can work, because that’s what Rapinoe did. The couple announced their engagement on Bird’s Instagram on Friday night. “It’s happening when it’s happening because that’s what feels right,” Bird told the outlet.”So even though I understand there are people who think I should have done it sooner, it wasn’t right for me at the time. I have to be true to that. It’s my journey.”
