A year after stepping away from professional swimming, Ariarne Titmus celebrated a sentimental milestone—one year since her first date with her boyfriend, Mack. The four-time Olympic gold medalist shared this memory while embracing life beyond the pool.
During the 2025 TAB Champions Stakes Day at the Melbourne Cup Carnival, where she served as ambassador for the Victoria Racing Club, Titmus reflected on how the event was tied to personal memories. She has long loved horse racing, having grown up around horses and once competing in dressage and show jumping before finding success in swimming.
“Full circle moment ❤️ Mack and I had our first date on Stakes Day last year. A quiet drink after the races. Here we are together, one year on 🥰,”
Through a post on social media, Titmus shared a selfie with Mack and revealed that their very first date took place at the same event one year earlier. She described the moment as deeply symbolic, linking her passion for racing with meaningful memories in her personal life.
Little is known about Mack, but Titmus mentioned he came into her life at a perfect time—just as she was preparing for retirement. Having announced her departure from the sport at the age of 25, Titmus now looks forward to exploring life beyond competitive swimming.
