Stephens, winner of the 2017 US Open and Altidore, a star player on the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team, debuted their relationship on social media in June 2018 but, according to People, had been dating for at least one year prior.

In an interview with USA Today, Altidore revealed that he and Stephens have known each other since they were only in the fifth grade, and that he respects her both as a partner and an athlete.

“She is somebody who gets everything I am going through without having to say anything,” Altidore told the paper. “You look at each other and you kind of know right away if one of you is annoyed. She just kind of gets the mood I’m in, as obviously she lives a very similar kind of life. “
