At this life-memorable moment, Gee Scott Jr, who spent five seasons at Ohio State, kept his look simple and elegant while vibing out with his partner in matching outfits on his engagement day.

Besides choosing a classy fitted tuxedo for his engagement, the Patriots rookie opted for a comfortable outfit for this event. He looked dashing in a white shirt, paired with beige shorts and white sneakers.

On the other hand, his fiancée also stole the limelight with her simple yet elegant look. She wore a matching striped fitted crop top with a long skirt. Beautiful accessories—a belt, a watch, a bangle, and a stunning necklace-completed her look. In front of their close friends and family, the couple cherished their “forever” moment.

However, other details of their love story remain undisclosed. Scott Jr. never publicly confirmed his relationship with Olivia. Yet, Olivia’s Instagram posts speak volumes about her support for the NFL tight end. She has stood by him since his Ohio State days. Six months ago, in January, she shared a sneak peek of her then-boyfriend’s Rose Bowl Game. Along with several images featuring herself, her friends, and Gee Scott Jr., she added a playful caption to her post:

“Amazing start to the year,” she wrote, adding red rose and heart emojis. In many of her Instagram photos, she was also seen wearing Gee Scott Jr.’s jersey number (88). “So proud of you @geescottjr,” she wrote, referencing the Bible verse Romans 8:28.

Such moments truly reflect her unwavering love and support. So, with “no complaints” and hearts full of love, the couple has now taken their relationship to the next level. The Patriots rookie tight end couldn’t help but pour heartfelt wishes toward the future they’re building together.
