They had known each other since childhood, but it wasn’t until years later that things became romantic between them.

Bronte has credited Benfield with helping her get back in the pool and ultimately compete and win her third gold at her fourth Olympics.

“What a week celebrating all that’s happened and all the exciting things to come. Love you @ieldbenf. Easiest yes of my life,” Bronte gushed on Instagram at the time.
