U.S. Soccer Gold Medalist Abby Wambach Married Girlfriend And Teammate Sarah Huffman

The world's most wonderful athlete power couple has been born.

U.S. women's soccer star and two-time Olympic gold medalist Abby Wambach married her longtime girlfriend and teammate Sarah Huffman this past weekend.

TMZ first broke the story, reporting the couple swapped vows on Saturday at the Po'ipu Kai Villas on the island of Kauai.

The ceremony was small and intimate, but acknowledged by Wambach on Wednesday afternoon:

Sarah and I wanted to thank everyone for all the love and support. We couldn't be happier. What an amazing week it's been. #honeymoon

A longtime supporter of LGBT rights, Wambach had never previously spoken publicly on her personal sexual orientation. Huffman came out earlier this year with an announcement in support of Athlete Ally.

The two athletes, who also happen to be teammates on the Western New York Flash, have stayed very private about their relationship.

Rumors of the wedding spread as their registry became public online:

And on Twitter, Huffman slyly showed off her beautiful ring.
