Caeleb Dressel surely makes it onto the list of legendary global athletes. He has been one of the most dominant athletes for years and has achieved some remarkable feats in his career. Apart from his professional life, his personal life is also equally fulfilling, as he is a happily married man to his fellow swimmer, Meghan Dressel. They have been married for three years now and are living a happening life, and their love is still as fresh as it could ever get.

The couple also welcomed their first child, August Wilder Dressel, on February 17 of this year. With all that in place, not many people know how their love lives started, especially how Dressel proposed to the love of his life. Let’s dive in and find out the perfect love story of two American swimmers.

Caleb Dressel and wife Meghan’s beautiful proposal

During an interview with Graham Bensinger on YouTube, Dressel and his wife revealed the tidbits of their love story. In a particular segment, Bensinger asks the Green Cove Springs native how he proposed to Meghan, to which he replies that he went to this meeting place in his high school called “Chance Pier,” and his sister Caitlyn, who was a photographer, set the perfect place and moment for him.

Dressel quotes, “Caitlyn was like, okay, I’m gonna tell Meghan, and we’re going to do a photoshoot like we’re in town for Thanksgiving.” Then his sister asked Meghan to do a photoshoot, and he popped the question when “the timing and lightning were perfect.” Meghan recalled feeling surprised, despite being an intuitive person, when Caeleb got down on his knee.

The couple first met each other during swimming meets during high school in Florida, and she also said that she had a crush on him. They soon started dating and have been going strong ever since as life partners, and Meghan has been there for her seven-time Olympic gold-winning husband. Meghan herself was a great swimmer, as mentioned earlier, and she also holds a master’s degree, which later became a reason to switch careers.

More about the swimmer’s beloved partner

Meghan used to swim for Florida State University in Tallahassee until her second year of college. However, she stopped competing professionally to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a child-family counselor. She then got her master’s degree in marriage and family therapy from the aforementioned institution. She also highlighted the hardships she faced during her degree, but in the end, everything fell into place.

She has been a constant support for Caeleb throughout his career and has been spotted cheering for her better half on several occasions. Meghan also helped her partner focus on his mental health after his 2020 Summer Olympics run. The two have been there for each other through thick and thin, and their bond just got stronger after welcoming August into their lives.
