8 adorable Megan Rapinoe and Sue Bird photos of the couple over the years

You want to talk about legendary athlete and athlete couples in the world right now?

How about Sue Bird and Megan Rapinoe?

Rapinoe, of course, is the USWNT soccer legend who has won multiple World Cups and an Olympic gold medal for the United States. Bird, the former WNBA star, is a four-time champion of that league, a 13-time All-Star and a five-time Olympic gold medalist.

The couple got engaged in 2020, but they met before that in 2016 when they were both at the Summer Olympics. Since then, they’ve been together and celebrated each other’s accomplishments.

Let’s look back at them together over the years.
