Brooks Koepka and Jena Sims tied the knot one year after the golfer got down on one knee in spring 2021.
The twosome first crossed paths at the 2015 Masters, but things weren’t romantic between the pair right away. After they started to date, their relationship became public knowledge when announcer Joe Buck misidentified Sims as Koepka’s ex-girlfriend Becky Edwards when the pro won the U.S. Open in 2017.
“My phone LIT up,” Sims recalled of the viral moment to Golf Digest in 2019. “It was half like, ‘Congratulations to Brooks!’ And the other half were, ‘Did you hear what happened?’ And I was like, of course I did. It was immediate. I was like, It’s OK, life continues. We’re just fine. It was an honest mistake.”
Sims continued to be by Koepka’s side when he won the U.S. Open again in 2018 and when he won the PGA Championship in 2018 and 2019.
The duo had been together for more than five years when Koepka proposed. “Forever is no joke 💕,” Sims gushed via Instagram in April 2021 alongside snaps from the Jupiter, Florida, proposal.
The couple eventually said “I do” in June 2022 in a romantic ceremony in Turks and Caicos. One year later, they welcomed their first child, son Crew.
