And they've been as inseparable as professional athletes, even retired ones, can be ever since. Their mutual competitive drive seems to be something they bonded over, as was their respective commitment to fitness and love of family—and, not to be dismissed, their mutual enjoyment of getting all dressed up to go out.
Subban, who has admitted to having at least 30 hats, matches his lady outfit for outfit on the red carpet, and a few months into their relationship they were heralded as "The Perfect Match" on the cover of Sports Illustrated 's "Fashionable 50" issue in July Happily, that cover remained a frame-worthy keeper instead of a throwaway.
And though they'd only been dating for a few months, apparently someone asked what the future held. Vonn joked that it was "not a Bieber situation," referring to Justin Bieber having just tied the knot with Hailey Baldwin after barely a month together.
We have plenty of time to figure everything out, so we're just enjoying it. They did have a couple nickname by Christmastime, however, and it has stuck. She didn't exactly hold back, either, gifting him a very impressive-looking watch. Are you serious? They also share a love of sports, indoor and outdoor apparently, that can't be tamed. Crazy series. Great job by both teams. Someone is pretty excited PKSubban1 torontoboy," Vonn tweeted.
They sported custom jerseys featuring Darius James' 76 at the New York Jets game just last weekend and, of course, there have been more than a few hockey games, including a Predators game against the Minnesota Wild in March where Vonn did the honors of dropping the first puck.
If it seems as if their lives revolve around sports—watching, playing and preparing for them—you would be right. And Subban proved to be a great motivator right away, the jelly to Vonn's peanut butter. But he pushes me to interact with people more and not sit on the couch. He always just uplifts me, he's always so positive He makes me better. When Vonn announced her retirement in February, Subban had a local bakery make a custom cake in the shape of a goat—as in she's the G.
Subban is also, incidentally, a birthday guy —Vonn was presented with a cake topped with an edible figure of a skier for her 34th last October—and a Valentine's Day guy. But," she added, addressing the inevitable wedding bells question, "I don't know, I've got to adapt to retired life first before we make any steps in that direction.
Vonn may no longer be competing but she's barely slowed down for a minute. She's always traveling and as an ambassador for Under Armour's Project Rock and other active-lifestyle brands, her training regimen remains formidable. Then there's Subban, who won the Norris Trophy in as the NHL's top defenseman, perennially lifting, running, climbing and pulling off various feats of strength.
In addition to all that impressive athleticism and being in ridiculous shape, Subban further fits the bill for Vonn—who was slammed in conservative circles going into the Olympics last year when she talked about being honored to compete for her country, if not its current president—as someone who speaks his mind and stands up for what he feels is right.
But then after she became single and over some period of time — I think it was like three or four months later — we ended up connecting again. Subban and Vonn seem like a great match. They both have outgoing personalities and are determined individuals who have already accomplished a lot in their lives and are now enjoying a new life together in Nashville. But for now, I continue to tell her just force yourself to kind of wind yourself down and relax and tape a deep breath and just relax.
