Much power to Sloane Stephens and her husband Jozy Altidore! After all, they are a power couple who have successfully found comfort in each other’s arms. While every romance has an intriguing story to it, the one behind the sport’s stars is certainly head-turning. From setting the perfect stage to going down on one knee, soccer player Altidore perfected his every move that led to their marriage.

During an exclusive interview with ‘Vogue’, the striker, who last played club soccer for New England Revolution, notably laid bare how he proposed to the former World No. 3 in an exciting fashion. Altidore managed to stupefy her with an unexpected turnaround at an art gallery, wherein he told Stephens he was looking to buy some projects. Instead, the tennis star found herself surrounded by friends and family at the premises, wherein the 34-year-old “popped the question” that changed the couple’s life forever.

“We went to church in L.A. and then I made up an excuse telling Sloane that I wanted to check out a painting at an art gallery that I saw on Instagram and was thinking of buying. When we got to the gallery, it was filled with her family and friends and instead of paintings, the gallery was decorated with massive canvases of photos from our relationship and all the people who have played a role in Sloane’s life up to this point. It was cool that all the people in the photos were surrounding us when I popped the question,” Altidore revealed.

Later, while speaking to the outlet, an amazed Stephens stated she “should have known” of his proposal idea knowing he never showcased much interest in art to begin with. “Jozy was acting nervous, and he’s definitely not an art gallery kind of guy, but when we walked in and I saw everyone, I was completely blown away! It was so surreal when he got down on one knee.”

For the unversed, Altidore proposed to the 2017 US Open champion in April 2019. Having initially met at the same middle school in Boca Raton, Florida, the pair crossed paths in 2016, commencing their romance shortly. A relatively private couple, the duo tied the knot at the St. Regis Bal Harbour in Miami Beach, Florida, on New Year’s Day in 2022. However, their occasional social media posts often dictate their support for each other, the latest of which came at the hands of Altidore.

Sloane Stephens’ husband earmarks ‘new beginning’ after the tennis star’s latest venture

Sloane Stephens is looking to establish her stronghold outside the world of tennis. After storming the sport with her laudable on-court performances, the American has now set afoot in the body wellness industry. Days after launching her body care brand, ‘Doc & Glo,’ the 31-year-old was furnished with an adorable message from her partner.

Taking to social media, Altidore expressed his undying support for the World No. 62’s latest venture, penning his take on the latter’s efforts that birthed her long-awaited ambitions. “Seeing your vision come to light today was such a blessing. The last 4 years I’ve watched you work meticulously to create a brand and products that your fans and followers would be proud of,” he wrote.

However, managing her latest body care label will take a backseat for the time being. Stephens is slated to perform at the US Open, wherein she is scheduled to lock horns with Clara Burel in the hardcourt event’s opener on Tuesday, August 26. After an average run this season, it will be enthralling to witness if the American can conjure her best form to captivate the New York crowd.
