Australia's top swimmer James Magnussen is 21 and dating a former swimmer named Andrea Patrulescu. They have been spotted on the red carpet together on many occasions but prefer to keep their personal life quiet.
2. Alastair Wilson's Girlfriend Francesca Halsell
Fran Halsall and her boyfriend, Alastair Wilson, will be one busy couple at the games. She's swimming for team Great Britain, while he's on the country's field hockey team! They'll have to bunk with their respective teammates for the duration of the Olympics, but Wilson assured reporters he'll be watching his girl on the telly.
When Maria Sharapova's not smashing balls on the tennis court, you can bet she's busy planning her nuptials. She and Slovenian basketball star Sasha Vujacic announced their engagement in 2010 and reportedly plan to marry in November 2012.
Olympic swimmer Missy Franklin is dating a fellow swimmer named John Martens. The pair started dating just under a year ago and even practice at the same pool. “We try to support each other,” Martens said. “If we had a bad practice or a bad meet we try to bring each other back up, to tell each other to focus. It’s only one bad day. You can work through it. Just that type of positive attitude.” Aww. Martens was hoping to make the 2012 Olympic team but did not qualify.
Talk about an Olympic power couple: Rebecca Soni and Ricky Berens will both be competing in swimming in London. They have been dating for at least two years and train at the same pool in L.A.
Swimmer Dana Vollmer will be celebrating her first wedding anniversary shortly after the Olympics, on August 20, 2012. The pair met while swimming for rival schools in college though Grant has since retired from the sport. He's in computer security and hopefully has lots of time off to support his wife's Olympic run.
How cute is this? American swimmer Matt Grevers got down on one knee and popped the question to girlfriend Annie Chandler, who's also a U.S. National Team swimmer, at a meet on Valentine's Day 2012. Chandler handed him his gold medal after winning the 100-meter backstroke, and then he turned around and gave her a diamond ring! There's video of the super cute proposal, even.
