My Weekend Crush

I know, more sportball stuff! If you’ve ever once had a real-life crush on a sporty girl, I’m pretty sure at some point you also had a crush on soccer superstar Tobin Heath. The US Women's National Team standout, two-time Olympic gold medalist and two-time World Cup champ is the embodiment of the lean, lanky sporty jock lesbian aesthetic. Her relationship with fellow soccer star and teammate Christen Press has been an open secret for close to a decade. And while they’ve been out for a while now, they only recently confirmed their marriage. Sneaky, sneaky. Tobin snuck in a my “wife and former teammate” while discussing her decision to retire from professional soccer earlier this month. So good for them, and her. Enjoy that retirement and we know. Happy weekend, all.

Love Match

As the Olympics draw to a close this weekend, and we continue to celebrate all the medalists and athletes, let’s not forget our past Olympians. Like everyone’s favorite open-secret USWNT couple Tobin Heath and Christen Press. I know, I know we all knew. But to confirm it, to confirm what we all knew for the past eight years. Yes, that still matters. Long live Preath. Congratulations on continuing to be lesbian soccer girlies couple goals.

Pinky Swear

Well, well, will you look at Christen Press and Tobin Heath on the red carpet, AGAIN. Twice in a row means it’s indisputable, right? I believe, to even the most obtuse straight onlooker, coming to the Espys awards in back-to-back years while holding pinkies on the red carpet means they’re officially official, right? Like, this makes holding pinkies on the red carpet the new Time magazine cover, right?

Look, I know that this is rather ancient news to the Preath diehards (also, please don’t come after me for not knowing their exact relationship timeline, I am just a casual yet appreciative observer of their apparent love). And I know they have posted plenty of coupley stuff before and after. But I truly think we can probably put every last questions of their status and public acknowledgement of such to rest if we all just direct our attention to Tobin’s shoes. Wearing sport slides to a sports awards show red carpet while holding pinkies with your longtime girlfriend? Yeah, it doesn’t get more lesbian than that. We will not discuss the white socks. We will not.
