Maddie and Gable have known each other since 2015 and officially went public with their relationship in October 2021. They made their relationship “Facebook official“ on October 15, 2021. Their love story started when they were teenagers. According to a post by Mitchell in 2022, they began dating long-distance in 2016. “The 15-year-old boy who had me FaceTiming all hours of the day, matured into the man that would have my heart today,“ she wrote.

Gable Steveson shares gratitude to Bills’ Coach

Steveson said, “I have been fortunate to compete at the highest level of competition in my sport but am looking forward to the challenge of seeing how my wrestling skills may translate to football. I am grateful to Coach [Sean] McDermott, [GM] Brandon Beane, and the Buffalo Bills organization for giving me this opportunity.”

The Bills were not the only team interested in Steveson, but they have a great reputation for developing defensive tackles with similar builds. This made Buffalo an attractive choice for Steveson. According to Carter Chow, Steveson’s agent from Red Envelope Sports, Buffalo has a track record of getting the most out of players like Steveson.

Steveson’s move to the NFL is a big change, and he knows he has a lot to learn. As Gable embarks on his new journey with the Buffalo Bills, Maddie will undoubtedly continue to be his biggest supporter and partner every step of the way.
