Minnesota Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder is engaged to ESPN reporter Samantha Steele, Sports Illustrated's Richard Deitsch reported on Tuesday.
ESPN's Samantha Steele, reportedly engaged to Minnesota Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder.
Ponder confirmed in October that the two were dating.
"I'm proud of the relationship," Ponder said at the time. "I can brag. I've got bragging rights, I believe."
Ponder, 24, and Steele, who turns 27 on Dec. 11, met on the set of "College GameDay" earlier this year.
"The cool thing is that obviously, we're both busy at the same time, so we don't get to see each other that much," Ponder said in October. "But at least one person isn't feeling guilty about not making the effort to do it or whatever. Then we kind of have the same schedule in the offseason, so that'll be good."
