Anna Hall And Darius Slayton Celebrate Engagement After World Title
From standing atop the world in Tokyo to saying yes to forever, Anna Hall is living the kind of year athletes dream about. The American heptathlete captured her first world title in September, becoming the first U.S. woman to win heptathlon gold in 32 years — and she followed it by celebrating another milestone: her engagement to New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton.
The victory and the proposal perfectly bookend a year filled with grit, recovery, confidence, and love.
Hall shared the moment on Instagram with a photo of Slayton slipping a ring onto her finger — and the detail that had everyone swooning? They got engaged at the very spot where they first met. Dressed in sleek black, the couple’s intimate moment looked like something straight out of a romantic sports documentary.
And the track and field family went wild.
Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone dropped a heartfelt “❤️ congratulations you two!”
Gabby Thomas chimed in with “Congratulations!!!!!! ❤️.”
Gymnastics icon Suni Lee added, “congrats!!!.”
Jasmine Moore, Masai Russell, Junelle Bromfield, Molly Caudery, and many more piled on with love and emojis.
The engagement wasn’t just a personal milestone — it became a celebration across the athletics world.
Hall’s joy didn’t happen overnight.
Her 2025 world title was the redemption arc fans had been waiting for. After a tough 2024 season and a painful near-gold silver in 2023, she walked into the year unsure of herself.
She admitted, “I found my joy again, I got my spark back. I really didn’t know what to expect… I really didn’t believe in myself.”
After one early indoor race left her feeling unprepared, Hall pulled back from competition and dedicated months to rebuilding both her body and her confidence.
That discipline paid off spectacularly in Tokyo, where she delivered a career-defining performance.
Now, with a world title around her neck and a ring on her finger, Anna Hall is living in her glow era. She’s gone from doubt to dominance, from heartbreak seasons to historic wins — and now, she steps proudly into a new chapter filled with promise both on and off the track.
If 2025 was the fairytale, 2026 might just be the dynasty.
