Heartwarming moment Olympic gymnast proposes to girlfriend after winning national title
Olympic gymnast Paul Juda was not done with his festivities for the evening after helping Michigan win an NCAA title, as he got down on one knee and proposed to his girlfriend near the pommel horse. It was Juda's 13.966 on vault that clinched the NCAA men's gymnastics championship for the Wolverines, with the Team USA star having a different ending in mind to the night than most. Juda took the microphone at in Ann Arbor, with the Wolverines hosting the national-championship meet, with his partner and fellow Michigan gymnast Reyna Guggino, on the floor during the title celebration. 'You make me a better man, a better person,' Juda said before popping the question. Guggino immediately teared up after Juda got to one knee before accepting his marriage proposal and kissing her now-fiance. 'YOU & ME FOREVER,' Guggino later posted on Instagram. 'Thankful that God brought me you. One ring for the NCAAs and one ring for me. Pretty sure I got the better deal.'

Guggino traveled to France to watch her man wear the red, white, and blue in person. The Wolverines' national title means both Juda and Guggino are national champions, with the Michigan women hoisting the crown in 2021. Fellow Michigan competitor Fred Richard was also part of the Americans' triumph in Paris and is a national champion. Juda and Guggino celebrated four years as a couple last September with a roll of photos on Instagram, including one of them at a beach.

Olympic medalist Paul Juda helps Michigan to national title, pops question to girlfriend
Paul Juda helped the U.S. Olympic team to a bronze medal in men's artistic gymnastics in Paris last summer and the winning never stopped for the 23-year-old. Juda, along with fellow Olympian Fred Richard, helped the Michigan Wolverines to a men's gymnastics national championship on Saturday. Richard and Juda finished first and second, respectively, in the all-around, giving Michigan the edge over Stanford. Juda scored a 13.966 on vault to clinch the national title. The Wolverines were jubilant as Juda's score came in. Michigan finished second to Stanford at the 2024 national championships. Michigan trailed Oklahoma going into the final and it came down to Juda to help put the Wolverines over the top. Michigan held onto the win by just 0.163 points. The 2021 Pan American silver medalist had more on his mind than just hoisting a national title. He took the microphone and had one important question for the love of his life, Reyna Guggino, "Will you marry me?" "You make me a better man, a better person," Juda said before getting down on one knee. Guggino, in tears, said "yes" and she received a ring as well. Guggino is also a gymnast at Michigan. She was a part of the 2021 national championship team and was the second-ever gymnast in NCAA history to start a rotation with a perfect 10. The 2025 season was her last year in competition. She graduated from the school with a degree in biology, health and society. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
