Olympian Anna Hall Marries NFL Star Darius Slayton After Surprise New York Track Proposal Moment

Olympian Anna Hall and Darius Slayton are now married. The couple tied the knot on April 11, 2026 at Oheka Castle. Their story started with a follow on Instagram, turned into a surprise meeting at a track, and then quickly grew into something strong. After dating for just over a year and getting engaged in November 2025, they decided not to wait long. Even with busy sports schedules, they planned a wedding that felt personal, calm, and full of meaning, surrounded by family and close friends.

Anna Hall and Darius Slayton’s Instagram love story and New York track meeting

Darius Slayton first noticed Anna Hall while watching her compete on TV. He said, “I had seen her running on TV, and when she came across the screen, I thought she was pretty, so I followed her on Instagram.” At that time, Anna Hall did not think much about it. She said, “I just figured it was an athlete respecting an athlete kind of thing.” They followed each other but did not really talk.

Things changed in 2024. Darius Slayton was in New Jersey for physical therapy, while Anna Hall was competing in New York. On his day off, he decided to visit her track meet without telling her. He recorded one of her jumps and sent it to her with a short message, “Good job!” Then he walked up, introduced himself properly, and asked her out. They went to dinner, connected quickly, and started dating. Their bond grew fast, even though both had demanding careers.

In November 2025, Darius planned a proposal that went back to where it all began. He took Anna to the same stadium in New York. She thought they were just going on a regular date. Anna said, “He told me we were going on a date in the city, which we do a lot. So I didn’t think anything of it, until he told me he was dressing up.” When the car stopped at the stadium instead of a restaurant, she understood. Darius proposed right there on the track where they first met.

Anna Hall and Darius Slayton’s wedding at Oheka Castle with vows and a gospel ceremony

Their wedding took place five months later at Oheka Castle. The couple wanted something beautiful but also meaningful. Darius Slayton said, “As the groom, I just wanted to help bring Anna’s dreams to life, and Oheka allowed for the perfect canvas to make that dream come true.” Planning was not easy because both were busy with sports. Anna Hall was in the middle of her competition season. Still, with help from their planner, Courtney Leeder and Anna’s mother, they made quick decisions and stayed on track.

Anna kept her bridal look simple and true to herself. She chose a dress by Eden Aharon and paired it with Manolo Blahnik heels. She said, “I felt confident in my body. It still had beautiful embroidery and structure, but without being too distracting.” She also chose natural makeup and wore her hair down, which felt special because she usually keeps it tied during competitions. Darius Slayton went with a classic tux made by Johanna at Alba Legacy, someone he trusts for big events.

The ceremony had strong emotional moments. It began with a hymn sung by gospel singer, Jekalyn Carr. Guests stood and sang along, creating a warm start. Their friend, Andre Levrone led the ceremony and asked guests to support their marriage. Anna said, “That was so special for Darius and I to hear and know that every person in attendance was a part of our village.” They shared personal vows, exchanged rings, and invited their families to the altar for a prayer. During this moment, Jekalyn Carr sang “The Blessing,” which made it emotional for everyone present.

After the ceremony, the couple took a quiet moment alone in the castle library. They shared food, hugged, and took it all in before joining guests again. At the reception, they added personal touches like a “love wall” filled with wedding photos of their guests. Anna expressed, “I tried to find as many as I could on social media so it would be a surprise.” Looking back, Darius Slayton said:

“It truly feels like a dream. It is hard to believe something like that was real, but it was, and it feels incredible to know that I was a part of something so special before God and family.”
