From the New York Post: Washington Commanders safety Jeremy Reaves proposed to his longtime girlfriend Mikaela Worley following the team’s thrilling overtime win against the Atlanta Falcons, which clinched a spot in the playoffs on Sunday.
Reaves, 28, rushed over to Worley on the sideline at Northwest Stadium in Maryland and got on one knee to ask the physician assistant to marry him.
Worley, a former Volleyball player at the University of Louisiana Monroe, was seen falling to her knees in tears while putting her hands over her face and telling him, “Yes.”
Reaves reportedly explained that he’d had the ring for quite a while, and was considering proposing last week but decided to wait until after Sunday night’s game, providing his team won the game.
“That thing was burning a hole in my pocket,” he said.
“Glad we got to share that moment with the best fans in the world! LUV❤️,” Reaves wrote on social media Monday morning.

Below is a video of the heartwarming proposal. Worley thought she was just congratulating Reaves on the team’s victory, until he pulled her down from the stands and proposed to her right there.

Reaves said Worley has been his “best friend since high school” and has stood by him through highs an lows, including when he was injured in October 2023.
On Instagram Monday morning, he posted a photo of the time he was in the hospital, and wrote, “A year ago I was at one of my lowest. A year later, you helped get me back to my best! Everytime life tore me down, you built me right back up and spoke life into me! You carried the weight when I couldn’t during some tough days(all that PA school definitely came in handy lol!) God makes no mistakes, and he gave me you when I needed you most! 8+ years of friendship, a lifetime to go as one! I meant it when I said 5life! I love you Mikaela R Worley PA-C❤️ Proverbs 18:22.”
