Tara-Davis Woodhall and Hunter Woodhall have a large online presence, with the couple frequently sharing videos on their YouTube channel. They have been married since 2022 and first met at a track meet in Idaho when they were teenagers.

Tara and Hunter sat down for an interview on the Beyond the Records podcast with Noah Lyles and Rai Benjamin. In it, they explored various topics, including how social media gave them the chance to focus on their careers.

“We were finding more financial stability through social media,” Tara said. “That gave us the freedom to focus 100% on our sport and chase our goals.”

Hunter added that they started using social media as a tool due to the little money they got from competing:

“First of all, let me set the stage. We’re in non-money-making events. Women’s long jump, Paralympics—it’s like zero dollars. We knew from the beginning that if we wanted to live the life we dreamed of, we’d have to find another way to make it happen,” Hunter Woodhall mentioned.

The couple has certainly found a way to garner the attention of fans, as they now have over 900k subscribers on their YouTube channel.
