Hunter Woodhall shared a glimpse of a candid moment with his wife Tara Davis-Woodhall as they prepare for the upcoming track season. The couple won maiden gold medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics and Paralympics.
Hunter shared a glimpse of their candid moment in an Instagram story on Monday (Jan. 12), adding a series of red heart emojis to show his love for the long jumper. The couple were seemingly in a private plane during the selfie moment.
Hunter and Tara met as high school track athletes in 2017, and it was a love at first sight for the couple. They were in a long-distance relationship for several years before getting engaged in 2021. They competed at the Tokyo edition of the Olympic and Paralympic Games before tying the knot the following year.

While Tara went medal-less on her Olympic debut in Tokyo, she jumped an incredible 7.10m in the final at the 2024 Paris Olympics to win the gold medal. The 25-year-old shared an emotional moment with Hunter afterward with the action repeating after the Paralympic sprinter also won his maiden gold medal the following month.
The couple are now preparing for the 2025 indoor season at the Kansas State University, with Tara Davis-Woodhall also acting as the assistant coach of the university's track and field team.
"I don’t know why I have to do this, but I have to give you a hug" - Tara Davis-Woodhall recalls first meeting with husband Hunter Woodhall
Speaking in an interview with Town and Country magazine in 2024, Tara Davis-Woodhall revealed that her first reaction after seeing her husband Hunter Woodhall at the track meet in Idaho in 2017 was to ask him for a hug.
"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'. He was like, 'OK.' He was very taken aback. And that was the first time we talked," she said.
While Hunter was surprised by the unexpected first interaction, he was equally attracted to the long jumper and had messaged one of his friends that he was going to marry Tara.
“Damn, that girl is fine. I’m going to marry that girl," he told his friend after watching Tara run hurdles (via The Way We Met)
The couple has documented their track career and relationship through their joint YouTube, Instagram and TikTok accounts, which have a combined following of nearly 2 million.
