As Billie Eilish would say , " Birds of a feather , we should stay together . "
It makes sense when people with similar careers are romantically involved — they fully understand the lifestyle and know how to best be there for one another (or so I hope). The same goes for two athletes who are not only dating, engaged, or married to each other but also competing in this year’s Paris Olympics. I would love to be a fly on the wall during dinner time with two Olympians in love.
