Vonn and Subban confirmed the news on Instagram after the report. The interesting thing is the news comes on the heels of Vonn recently saying they are not rushing anything when it comes to their relationship.
“This is not a Bieber situation,” Vonn joked that month while talking with reporters, alluding to Justin Bieber’s then-recent engagement to now wife Hailey Baldwin after only a few weeks of dating. “I’ve been married before. So I’m — we’re enjoying every moment.”
“We love each other very much, but there’s no reason to jump ahead and get ahead of yourself,” she continued. “We have plenty of time to figure everything out, so we’re just enjoying it.”
Vonn retired from skiing earlier this year and she won a total of five medals in the Olympic Game and the World Championships. She won the gold and bronze medal in the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver and she won another bronze in the 2018 Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea. Earlier this year, Vonn announce she was retiring from skiing due to the multiple injuries she suffered during her career.
Subban is a member of the New Jersey Devils and is known for being one of the top defensemen in the league. In 2013, Subban won the Norris Trophy which is given to the top defender in NHL, and when he was with the Nashville Predators in 2017, he helped the team reach the Stanley Cup finals. Subban was traded to the Devils back in June. He will earn a base salary of $10 million this year.
