There are numerous milestones in the wonderful journey of life. It could be working one’s dream job or buying a house. Obviously athletes are no different from normal folk like you and I… and some of them achieved mega milestones this week!
Amazing news was shared by Sloane Stephens and Toronto FC striker Jozy Altidore. The couple announced they’re officially engaged earlier in the week.
Honestly? We’re obsessed with this sports power couple!

Everyone faces adversity on numerous occasions. The consistent grind could wear people down, but current world No. 6 Elina Svitolina will inspire to keep going. #MotivationMonday
Some of Great Britain’s best met way back in 2006. Andy Murray made sure he put on a show for the soccer legend David Beckham.
Murphy was 18, while Beckham was 29 at the time. How time flies…..
