Thomas, who was one of Team USA’s standout performers at the 2024 Paris Olympics, shared how McManes proposed in a moment that took her completely by surprise.
"I was very surprised, and I normally nothing gets by me, but this one did, and so I was very excited," Thomas said during a conversation with Tiara Williams ahead of her competition at the Grand Slam Track meet in Jamaica.
McManes, a former collegiate athlete himself, has been a constant presence at Thomas’s meets, often spotted proudly wearing a “Team Gabby” shirt, including during her golden runs in the 200m, 4x100m, and 4x200m relays at the Paris Games.
"I know there's so many decisions to make, it's a lot, but you know, my fiancé, he supports me so much and I love him so much. I go out to every meet. I know everyone sees him around all the time. So not much will change, we'll just be committed and learn and it's a very good feeling. I love it," she added.
The proposal took place at a Travis Heights Airbnb, as reported by Vogue Weddings, with the couple opting for a low-key celebration.

Xiamen Diamond League: Time and Where to Watch Faith Kipyegon, Ferdinand Omanyala and Co
Faith Kipyegon, Ferdinand Omanyala and Letsile Tebogo will be the star names at the season-opening Xiamen Diamond League and here is where and how to catch the action.
The engagement comes during a high point in Thomas’s career. After her Olympic success, she continued her winning streak with a victory in the 4x100m relay at the Texas Relays in early 2025 and recently captured the long sprints title at the debut edition of the Grand Slam Track meet.
Thomas also competed in both the 200m and 400m events at the GST meet in Jamaica, securing a win in the 200m and a runner-up finish in the 400m — further proof of her versatility and dominance on the track.
Following her silver medal in the 200m and gold in the 4x100m relay at the 2023 World Championships, she has set her focus on the 2025 Tokyo World Championships and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
"I am definitely training for LA 2028, and it takes me about four years to mentally prepare for that. But physically, I don't start until about eight months out and now I'm training for World Championships in 2025," she explained.
