The football safety star’s girlfriend Mikaela Worley was filmed accepting his pitchside proposal. In footage shared online, Worley can be seen falling to the ground overwhelmed by emotion before telling Reaves, “Yes.” The happy couple then embraced each other as flocks of Commanders players came over to congratulate them and cheers from fans rang above.
Reaves said that while he’d wanted to propose for some time, he was waiting for the perfect moment. Speaking to the Associated Press, the professional athlete joked of his engagement ring: “That thing was burning a hole in my pocket.”. “I hate losing, so there’s no way I could have done that in the right spirit after a loss,” he continued. “If we win this game, it’s destiny.”.
Reaves went on to explain how Worley, who played volleyball at the University of Louisiana Monroe, has supported him “through the worst” when his season abruptly ended after he tore his ACL in October 2023. “She’s earned it. I can’t say enough about her. When I was at my lowest last year, she was there to pick me up every day,” he said.
“She showed up. I was going through the worst last year coming off an ACL [tear]. Couldn’t do anything, couldn’t be my own man and she was the crutch there when I couldn’t do it myself.”. Reaves was signed by the Commanders as a free agent in 2018. Over the last six seasons, the star athlete has grown to become a key player on the team, earning Pro Bowl and All-Pro selections back in 2022.
