Aly Raisman is one of the biggest American stars from the Olympics. A gold and silver medalist and a member of the Final Five gymnastics team, Raisman and her teammates won over America’s hearts. Raisman, in particular, won over Oakland Raiders tight end Colton Underwood’s heart.
Upon returning home, Raisman was greeted with a video message from Underwood asking Raisman out on a date. Underwood used his friendship with teammate Andrew East and East’s wife, former Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson, in order to score the opportunity to go out with Raisman.
Of course, this isn’t a totally blind ask by Underwood. According to Raisman, Shawn Johnson and Andrew East have been in Raisman’s ear for a while trying to get Underwood in. The confirmation of the date wasn’t just for the video either. Raisman doubled down on Twitter.
@Colt3FIVE thanks for the sweet video…. looking forward to meeting you :)
