Aly Raisman Dating NFL Tight End Who Asked Her Out Over Social Media

Looks like Colton Underwood scored a perfect 10 with Aly Raisman.

The free agent NFL tight end asked the Olympic gold medalist on a date over social media in August, and the two finally made their relationship public when they recently walked the red carpet together at the Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year Ceremony in Brooklyn. According to People magazine, the two have been dating since the Video Music Awards in August.

“We happened to both be in Denver at the same time,” Raisman said. “I was there for less than 12 hours, he was flying in for just a few days. It ended up working perfectly.”

The star gymnast also told People that Underwood drove 20-30 minutes each way to make their second and third dates, and that she has met his family.

Sometimes all it takes is a simple tweet.
