Even Olympians experience unrequited love.
In an Instagram post, Charlotte Drury said she pined for her now-girlfriend Laurie Hernandez for a whole year before the two became a couple.
Drury, 26, celebrated their two-year anniversary with a sweet message for the 22-year-old Olympic gymnast on Tuesday.
“Two whole years (not counting the year I spent secretly pining after you). My hot date, il mio migliore amico, my favorite person,” Drury, a trampoline gymnast, wrote alongside a slideshow of some mirror selfies of the two embracing.
“Happy anniversary bug 🐛🤎”
Di lunedi, Hernandez confirmed to her fans that the two were dating with her own post on the social media network.
“2 whole years! can u believe it!!,” the gold medal-winning gymnast wrote.
Hernandez hinted at her relationship in October when she told PEOPLE she was “taken” by a photographer without dropping any names.
Drury announced on Instagram on August that she joined the International Center of Photography in New York City to study documentary and visual journalism for a year.
