Breaking News; commander player Terry McLaurin wife filed a divorce papers after facing…….
Before Terry McLaurin and the Commanders lost to the Jets on Christmas Eve, he announced his engagement to longtime girlfriend Caitlin Winfrey in an Instagram post Saturday.
“I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with the person who has my heart,” McLaurin, 28, wrote, as Winfrey unveiled her new ring. “Caitlin, I thank God for granting me favor and bringing our journey’s together. I am so excited to see what he has in store for us as we navigate this life hand and hand.”
McLaurin proposed to Winfrey at The Key West Butterfly and Nature Conservatory before the pair posed for photos, with one picture he shared in the post captured at sunset and another showing the couple stepping into a boat.
“Home is wherever you are and I’m at my best when I’m with you. I love you,” he added in the Instagram comment, with a heart emoji at the end.
The pair met at Cathedral High School in Indianapolis, where McLaurin starred on four state title teams before committing to Ohio State as a Class of 2014 recruit, according to The Athletic in 2022.
In past Instagram posts, McLaurin has written about what his relationship with Winfrey means, according to People.com.
His birthday tribute to Winfrey in 2022 included a line about how he’s “better because of you,” while in March, McLaurin wrote how Winfrey “can light up any room you walk into with your infectious personality.”
McLaurin was drafted in the third round of the 2019 draft, and the Indianapolis native has topped 1,000 yards in each of the past three seasons — and, with two games remaining in 2023, he needs 115 yards to reach that threshold again.
He signed a three-year extension in July 2022, worth $71 million, to solidify his role as the Commanders’ top receiving option through the end of the 2025 season.
In Washington’s 30-28 loss against the Jets, McLaurin caught three passes on five targets for 50 yards as the Commanders benched starter Sam Howell in the third quarter and turned to Jacoby Brissett.
He’ll face the 49ers and Cowboys in the final two games of the regular season.
