The athletic power couple has been married since December 10, 2022, which happened in Greensboro, Georgia. Soon after the marriage, Dansby Swanson signed a seven-year, $177 million contract with the Chicago Cubs, leaving his former team, the Atlanta Braves. The main reason was that his wife, Mallory Pugh Swanson, played professional soccer for the NWSL’s Chicago Red Stars. And that allowed them to reunite and stay with each other, leaving behind the long-distance relationship.
However, recently, Mallory landed herself in an injury in her left knee after hitting Ireland’s Aoife Mannion. The whole incident was caught live on television, as everyone stared in horror while she was taken off the ground. Mallory’s patellar tendon got torn, letting her face a big challenge that suddenly shook the couple’s lives. “It’s been incredibly tough. When you see the person you love the most be hurt like that, it’s just emotional. Just devastating,” Swanson was quoted saying. However, she is gradually recovering, and with Dansby by her side, she has always felt his love all the way. Now with Dansby Swanson making his mark on the Cubs, Mallory looks confident enough to join him in England for the upcoming London Series, where the Cubs will face the St. Louis Cardinals.
