A win on the field and a win in love! Ellie Wheeler just lived her dream recently! Fans witnessed some wonderful sights on the field on Saturday. First, it was a victory for the KC Current after they defeated the Portland Thorns by 3-1. The crowd cheered on, and the players celebrated with emotions cruising high. And then, just when you think the day couldn’t get any better, something stole the spotlight from the game itself. Sounds exciting, right?

Well, it was THE moment for KC Current’s tenacious outside back, Wheeler, when her boyfriend just stepped onto the pitch. But he wasn’t there to congratulate her. And, just when no one expected it (well, it wasn’t rocket science), the stadium held its breath; the squad paused, and then he dropped on one knee and popped THE question, ring and all! Guess what? And, she said YES!

Fresh off a victory, Wheeler faced one of her life’s biggest questions. “Ellie Wheeler secures the win AND a ring! 💍 The joy and hype of the team and Ellie say it all. Congratulations on your engagement, Ellie Wheeler!” The NWSL officials shared it all on Instagram with pictures worth a 1000 words that captured the exact moment on the field! That was it for Wheeler. And with her team surrounding and thousands watching, she just stepped in to a whole new commitment level in life!
