Sometimes life’s special moments come at the most unexpected times. Have you ever wondered—a football field can be the setting for a love proposal? That’s exactly what happened to Washington Commanders defensive back Jeremy Reeves.
On the evening of December 30, the game at Northwest Stadium was not just about securing a playoff spot. That day, Reeves celebrated his love and victory by proposing to his longtime girlfriend, Mikaela Worley, on the field, in an emotional way.
But the plan wasn’t easy. Reeves later shared with reporters how much time and courage he put into preparing for the proposal. “I hate losing,” Reeves said, “so I just wanted to make this special moment even more special by winning the game.”
A fusion of sports and emotions
That evening, the Washington Commanders defeated Atlanta in overtime to secure a playoff spot. The victory not only added to the celebration of victory on the field, but also in Reeves’ personal life. “If we win this game, it’s destiny,” he said. Reeves had already informed Worley’s family about the proposal plan.
A friend in tough times
Reeves described his girlfriend Worley as “a friend in tough times.” He recalled, “When I was off the field with an ACL injury, she was my crutch. She’s a huge part of my life.”
It was clear that Worley’s support was what made Reeves’s career rebound this year after ACL surgery in October 2023 possible.
On-field proposal
After the game ended, Reeves called his teammates and Worley onto the field. Then, getting down on one knee, he popped the big question. The moment was unforgettable for all the fans at Northwest Stadium. Reeves later wrote on social media, “That moment we got to share with the best fans in the world.”
Career highs
Reeves’ career has never been easy. He was recognized as an NFL All-Pro special teams player in 2021, but injury has severely hampered the 2022 season. “You can learn a lot about someone when they’re going through their worst,” he said.
An example of love and support
Reeves and Worley’s story has become a symbol of love and support. This proposal on the field wasn’t just their personal moment; it was a story that bridged the gap between sports and emotions.
Ultimately, this evening was an inspiration not only for Northwest Stadium, but also for thousands of spectators and fans. Do you want to be a part of such an inspiring moment?
Best of luck to Reeves and Worley for the future!
