Hunter Woodall lovingly acknowledges Tara 

Hunter and Mrs. Woodall started dating in 2019, and guess what? Tara made the first move, and she felt like it was reckless. Funny! Fast forward to now, in an interview with GQ Sports, Hunter opened up about their relationship. “It wasn’t just one moment, but the way she makes me feel seen, understood, and supported,” Hunter said. “It’s like she reads my mind sometimes.”

Hunter, whose entire life revolves around intense training and self-improvement, having a partner who could understand his mind without words is just too beautiful. Tara’s a force in his life! She fits in his world like a puzzle. That’s exactly what Hunter needed.

But it wasn’t all about support; it was about the way Tara made him feel every day. “When we’re together, everything feels lighter. Even the tough days seem manageable because she’s there.” The weight of Olympic training, the pressure to perform, the sacrifices—they all seemed lighter when Hunter Woodall had Tara by his side. She isn’t just his life partner; she’s his best friend, his lover, his motivator, and whatnot!

“So, I’m the perfect girl because I know how to pick the right cheat day meals?” she playfully asks. And both of them laugh at that. Hunter says, “She brings out the best in me. I didn’t realize what that felt like until she came into my life.”

With Tara, Hunter found a new level of growth, a new experience completely that he could never let go of, so they married: on October 16, 2022. Hunter adds further, “But it’s also how you challenge me to grow without ever making me feel less than. That’s rare. Now that could be the statement of the couple’s yearbook! Hunter deeply loves his wife, and vice versa. 

Life never felt so lively!

Their story didn’t begin in the spotlight of Olympic stadiums or at elite training camps, though. Tara and Hunter met in a more unexpected place: a shared passion for excellence. It began as a simple meeting between two like-minded athletes, escalating into magic. Their dynamic from the very beginning was out of this world. “We both have our moments, but we get through them together,” Tara shares. 

Tara’s challenge was about nurturing his emotional strength and supporting him in ways he never knew he needed. Their ability to complement each other makes them best for each other. Hunter’s fire to achieve greatness and Tara’s calm and calculated approach to the same goal makes them a power couple in every sense. Their relationship thrives on respect, understanding, and the shared ambition to not only be the best versions of themselves but also to lift each other higher.
