Tara Davis-Woodhall shares her family's hilarious reaction to meeting husband Hunter Wodhall for the first time

Tara Davis-Woodhall has shared her parents' hilarious reaction when she told them about her relationship with her now husband Hunter Woodhall. The couple won their maiden gold medals at the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris.

Tara and Hunter met at a state track meet in 2017 and while it was the former who made the first move, it was a love at first sight for the athletic couple. After the completion of their respective events, Davis-Woodhall ran into the Paralympic sprinter and asked for a hug to mark the start of a lifelong relationship.

"I stepped onto the track and said, 'I don’t know why I have to do this, but I have to give you a hug. And that was the first time we talked," she told Town & Country in August 2024.

The couple started following each other on Instagram and began dating in the summer of that year before the time arrived for Davis-Woodhall to introduce the sprinter to her family, who gave a hilarious reaction. She revealed their reaction in a recent interview with GQ Magazine, saying:

"Leave it to you to bring home a white boy with no legs.”

The two maintained a long-distance relationship during their collegiate careers before getting engaged in September 2021. They later tied the knot in a romantic wedding ceremony at D'Vine Grace Vineyard in McKinney, Texas in October 2022.

After leaping 7.10m for the win, she sprinted and ran into the arms of her husband Hunter Woodhall.

The Paralympic sprinter was waiting to catch her in his arms and the two shared a long embrace afterward, a moment that sent the internet abuzz. Speaking about the viral moment in an interview with People in August, Davis-Woodhall expressed her happiness on people finding how supportive her husband was.

“I haven’t been on social media that much, so I don’t know how viral it’s gone! Everyone’s been telling me the whole world’s been seeing it, [but] that’s just Hunter and I. He’s my biggest supporter, and I guess the whole world got to see how much he supports me," Tara Davis-Woodhall said

Nearly a month after sending the internet abuzz, Hunter Woodhall sprinted his way to a maiden gold medal at the Paris Paralympics, and this time it was Davis-Woodhall waiting to catch him in her arms.
