The young athlete, just 24 years of age, proposed to Gabay shortly after securing a lucrative four-year contract extension with the Falcons worth an impressive $141 million in June. Their engagement, and the impressive new contract, mark a significant period in London’s life, both professionally and personally.
On 6 July, Sofia shared a series of photos from their romantic proposal on social media, revealing in the caption how meaningful the date was for them. The day not only marked their engagement but also coincided with the third anniversary of their relationship. The couple initially connected through social media, and it appears that their bond has only strengthened since.
In a touching TikTok post, Gabay disclosed that they first made their relationship official on the same date three years ago. On Instagram, she celebrated their anniversary by posting a video compilation showing cherished moments of the pair together, including playful kisses on the football fields that are so fundamental to their lives.
Drake London’s proposal was beautifully executed, taking place outdoors against a backdrop of mountains and a sunset sky, during which he presented Gabay with an oval-shaped diamond engagement ring. The couple then enjoyed an intimate dinner together, opting for a Taco Bell feast, which seems to be a beloved choice for the duo. Gabay humorously affirmed their shared love for fast food on her Instagram Stories, declaring, “The love for @tacobell is very real.”
In reflecting on the proposal via social media, Gabay shared her rollercoaster of emotions, describing how she went from feeling tearful and overwhelmed before the proposal to bursting with excitement immediately after. “I went from tears alone in the bathroom getting dressed for my dream proposal with my dream man to screaming out of excitement in the bathroom with my girls right after,” she recounted.
London’s new contract positions him as one of the highest-paid receivers in the NFL, with a deal that will keep him on the Falcons’ roster through the 2030 season. This solidifies not only his status in professional football but also his financial security as he embarks on this next chapter of his life with Gabay.
Sofia Gabay has her own accomplishments to celebrate, having recently graduated from the University of Southern California (USC) with a bachelor’s degree in film and cinema. Interestingly, London also has ties to USC, having played college football for the Trojans before entering the NFL Draft, where he was selected as the eighth overall pick by the Falcons.
As news of their engagement spread, the official USC athletics account expressed their congratulations on Instagram, showing their support for both former students in this exciting new phase of their lives. The couple’s journey together promises to be a compelling story of love, success, and shared dreams.
With their futures shining brightly, both Drake London and Sofia Rose Gabay are looking forward to what lies ahead in their personal and professional lives, and fans alike are eager to witness their journey unfold.
