Colts’ Jonathan Taylor has become engaged to his girlfriend Ayanna Chapman

Colts running back Jonathan Taylor is engaged to his high school sweetheart Ayanna Chapman.

Taylor announced the news Tuesday in an Instagram post that showed him proposing to Chapman, a former field hockey player and track and field athlete at Ball State University.

He got on one knee at an undisclosed beach location where heart indicators lit up the sand as seen in the photos.

The couple’s engagement included a private candlelit dinner on the beach with champagne.

“Together we can do anything💙,” Taylor wrote in his caption. Sharing the same photo, Chapman wrote, “You always said it was a forever thing 🤍.”

Taylor’s teammates filled the comments with congratulatory messages, including linebackers Darius Leonard and Isaiah Rodgers.

According to a , Taylor and Chapman met at a fall sports banquet at Salem High School in New Jersey Q&A video on their shared YouTube channel.

Their first date was at a basketball game between the Salem Rams and the Penns Grove Red Devils, Taylor said.

While Chapman was visiting Ball State, Taylor played football in Wisconsin before the Colts selected him with the 41st overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Taylor led the NFL in rushing yards (1,811), rushing touchdowns (18), and scrimmage yards (2,171) last season, earning his name in MVP talks. He was also linked with Charges running back Austin Ekeler for most touchdowns (20).

Taylor announced the couple’s engagement a day earlier Indianapolis traded quarterback Carson Wentz to the Washington Commanders.

The Colts gave the Commanders second- and third-round picks in the 2022 NFL Draft and a third-round pick in 2023, which ESPN says can move up to a second-round pick if Wentz plays 70 percent of the snaps.

Now the colts are supposedly being watched 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.
