To add to her list of achievements, Rapinoe is also the new face of Victoria's Secret. She was also due to front a major Subway campaign, but a controversial move at the Olympic games this year means she could now be axed from their new ad.
Bird, 40, has an equally impressive track record having won four championships with her basketball team, the WNBA's Seattle Storm. She's been playing for them since 2002.
Bird scored her fifth gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics this year, after winning against Japan.
Rapinoe wasted no time in showing how proud she was of her fiance after the win. Fans of the couple have been gushing over a video of the two sharing a moment following Bird's win in Tokyo, which is circulating on Twitter.
"I am so proud of you," Rapinoe wrote on her Instagram. "As if I could love you any more. Congrats baby!"
