Gabrielle “Gabby” Thomas is one of the best sprinters in her sport . The Harvard University graduate, who also played soccer and softball, really fell in love with track after watching her childhood idol , former Olympian Allyson Felix, run in the 200m race. That is the same race Thomas competes in today and after taking home a couple of medals in Tokyo, she’s looking to add some more to her collection in the Paris Olympics .
In the stands to cheer her on while she does will be her boyfriend, Spencer McManes. Here’s more about him and their relationship. How long Thomas and McManes have been together While Thomas and McManes haven’t publicly talked about how they met or when exactly they started dating, an anniversary post on social media indicates that they started seeing each other in October 2022.
In March 2023, the two became Instagram official when McManes confirmed their relationship by sharing a picture of them together and captioning it: “Vacation every day.” McManes has shared a lot of snaps of his girlfriend on social media but just before the Olympics, he made his accounts private.
