Team GB sprinting star Matthew Hudson-Smith, who came just 0.04 seconds short of winning Olympic gold this week, will be getting married to his fiancée shortly after the Paris Olympics. Despite his disappointment in the race, he will find joy in marrying his long-term girlfriend Antonia Tyson in September.
Antonia, who works in healthcare, was in the crowd supporting Matthew during his race and was seen wearing a sparkling ring, hinting at their engagement that was kept private. She took to Instagram to express her excitement about marrying her “future hubby”. The couple has set their wedding date for September 29 and have created a website where friends and family can contribute to a “newly wed fund”.
In a heartfelt message on their wedding website, Matthew and Antonia expressed their gratitude for the love and support they have received. They also mentioned that any additional gifts can be sent to their home address. The couple is looking forward to celebrating their special day with their loved ones.
After the race, Matthew revealed that he was surprised to see his family in the crowd, as they usually do not watch him compete. He expressed his gratitude for their presence and reflected on the journey that led him to the silver medal spot at the Olympics.
The upcoming wedding adds a new chapter to Matthew Hudson-Smith’s life, showcasing that there is joy and celebration beyond the world of sports. As he prepares to exchange vows with Antonia, he will carry the support of his loved ones with him, both on and off the track.
