It’s a modern love story for the ages. 

Aly Raisman, one-fifth of the Olympic gold medal-winning women’s gymnastics team, and Colton Underwood, a tight end for the Oakland Raiders, made their burgeoning relationship red-carpet official at Monday evening’s Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year ceremony at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The couple’s public debut comes four months after the 24-year-old NFL player asked Raisman on a date via a social media video that went viral.
