In a post on her Instagram story on Monday, Dani shared a photo of a cake covered with coconut. She revealed it was from Watt, which was something different as he typically sends her flowers. She added a shorter caption, saying that he knew the "key to her heart" by sending her one of her favorite sweet treats.

"When he is 'tired of sending you flowers' so he sends you cake instead....@tjwatt knows the key to my heart," Dani wrote.

Just as training camp started, Dani shared a carousel of photos on Instagram of their offseason adventures. The couple spent a lot of time outdoors, enjoying nature and doing some fly fishing. Dani said in the caption that this oasis was their calm before the grueling NFL season starts this fall.

"The calm before the storm," Dani wrote on July 22.

T.J. and Dani got married in July 2022 at Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. They met in 2016 when they were both student-athletes at the University of Wisconsin.
