Back in 2016, a fresh-faced Bubba Wallace was just making his mark in the NASCAR scene. Around that time, he met Bank of America’s financial analyst, Amanda Carter. From there, the two of them hit it off right away and began dating. An Appalachian State University graduate, she was also the vice president of the Alpha Phi International Fraternity.
Although the couple has kept their relationship rather low-key, Carter has supported Wallace in his NASCAR career. She stuck with him through thick and thin and his highs and lows. So, in July 2021, Bubba Wallace finally got down on one knee and proposed to her. The year marked five years of the couple dating, so they obviously felt that it was time for the next step.
