Cubs shortstop Dansby Swanson and his wife and USWNT star forward Mallory Swanson spent much-needed time together after going through a busy spell in their respective sporting careers. While so far in 2024 Dansby has had a subpar season in the big leagues, Mallory claimed bragging rights for the USWNT by scoring the winner in the gold medal match against Brazil at the Paris Olympics.
The Chicago Red Stars ace shared an adorable snap on her social media handle on Thursday night with husband, Dansby Swanson as the duo enjoyed a sweet treat in Chicago.
Take a look at the snapshot here:
Dansby Swanson and Mallory Swanson have been together for almost seven years after meeting for the first time on a blind date in 2017. Dansby was still playing with the Braves then and eventually went on to win his maiden World Series title with them in 2021 before making a high-profile move to the Cubs in the 2022 offseason.
The couple took a liking to each other on their first meeting and started dating. After four years of dating and almost a month after winning the Fall Classic, Dansby went down on one knee and proposed to Mallory, and she instantly said yes. The duo got married a year later at the Ritz Carlton in Greensboro, Georgia, on December 10, 2022.
Both Dansby and Mallory have shown mutual appreciation towards each other and never shy away from celebrating each other's achievements in life. As they get close to their second marriage anniversary, Mallory Swanson has been supportive of Dansby's career by cheering for him from the stands at Wrigley Field.
Dansby Swanson has been a caring husband, as he helped Mallory mentally and emotionally during her recovery from a ligament tear just before the 2023 Women’s FIFA World Cup. But she bounced back and claimed gold for Team USA in Paris recently.
