“Just to see you grow has been so awesome and I don’t regret for a minute dropping my job and moving halfway across the country for us to move in together. It has been awesome and I am very excited to see where this is going, so, dear, I was wondering, Lillia Camille King, will you marry me?”‘ Wells asked.Lilly King of the United States competes in the Women’s 200m breaststoke final on Day 6 of the 2024 U.S. Olympic Team Swimming Trials at Lucas Oil Stadium.

“I didn’t see it,” Murphy said. “That’s unbelievable. I’d love to hear her reaction to how it is to get proposed to completely out of breath and soaked. That’s incredible. She must be riding an absolute high.”
