Lilly King is heading to the Paris Olympics and then down the aisle.

Moments after competing at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Indianapolis on June 20 and qualifying for her second event at the 2024 Games, the swimmer got engaged.

Upon finishing second in the 200-meter breaststroke, King was greeted by her boyfriend James Wells, who popped the question. 

"Just to see you grow has been so awesome," he said of her journey in and out of the pool as seen in a video by NBC Sports. "And I don't regret for a minute dropping my job and moving halfway across the country for us to move in together. It's been awesome, and I'm very excited to see where this goes." 

Wells then dropped down to one knee and proposed to King, who said yes and kissed him. And yes, she was totally surprised. 

"I was really confused 'cause Annie told me to put my hair down before I walked out instead of having it in my cap, and I was like, 'OK, sounds good,'" the bride-to-be told the outlet before turning to her fiancé. "And I was just confused 'cause you were down here. Oh my god I'm so excited."

As for the reason Wells picked this moment to ask King to marry him, he knew he wanted the proposal to take place at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indiana. After all, King was born in the state, and the two both swam at Indiana University.

"Lilly did the bid for this pool," Wells explained. "Having this be in her home state is so incredible. All of us that swam at IU together, did all this stuff together, this is such a powerful swimming state. And it just means so much to her to be here in front of this crowd, so I was like that's the perfect opportunity to do that."

King first qualified for the 2024 Olympics earlier this week when she won first place in the 100-meter breaststroke. This will be her third time competing at the Games. King took home two silver medals and a bronze at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo and two gold medals in Rio in 2016.
