Fans Left Stunned as Tara Davis-Woodhall and Hunter Woodhall Make Surprising Reveal Before Track and Field Return

The track and field world is still buzzing from the 2024 Paris Games, where Tara Davis-Woodhall and Hunter Woodhall cemented their status as Team USA’s golden couple. Tara, 26, soared to Olympic gold in the women’s long jump, while Hunter, also 26, blazed to Paralympic gold in the men’s. Married since October 2022, the Woodhalls have become the sport’s ultimate power couple, blending Olympic and Paralympic excellence with a love story that captivates fans. But what could top their Paris triumphs? The couple has always had things up their sleeves. 

Enter a bombshell announcement that dropped on April 25, 2025, sending waves through the track and field community. The Woodhalls revealed they’ve signed with Nike, joining the sportswear giant’s illustrious roster of track and field athletes. The news, confirmed via Nike’s official newsroom and echoed across social media platforms like X, marks a pivotal shift for the couple, who parted ways with Lululemon in February 2025 after a three-year partnership.

“Tara Davis-Woodhall and Hunter Woodhall have signed with Nike ,” posted @travismillerx13, capturing the excitement shared by fans and insiders alike. And Tara confirmed it by posting her pictures in Nike wear with the caption “WOODHALLS X NIKE.” This move comes just as Tara gears up for the 2025 World Championships and Hunter eyes further Paralympic glory, making the timing as strategic as it is surprising.

Why did they choose Nike, and what does this mean for their future? Fans are already speculating about custom Nike gear for Tara’s World Championships bid and Hunter’s next Paralympic quest. Can they turn this partnership into more golden moments?

Fans React to Woodhall-Nike Partnership

When Tara Davis-Woodhall and Hunter Woodhall announced their partnership with Nike, track and field fans erupted with excitement across social media platforms like X. From their viral Paris embraces to their status as track’s ultimate power couple, the Woodhalls have captivated fans. Now, their Nike deal has the internet buzzing. “YESSSS BEEN WAITING FOR THIS,” one fan posted, echoing the sentiment of thousands.

But what’s driving this fan frenzy? Many zeroed in on the visual of the Woodhalls in Nike’s sleek, gold-medal-worthy kit. “Straight in that gold medal kit,” a fan raved, picturing Tara rocking Nike’s cutting-edge designs. The imagery resonates, especially after their Paris heroics, where Tara outjumped the field and Hunter set an American record. Why are fans so obsessed with their new look?

Beyond aesthetics, fans see the Woodhalls as a dynamic duo perfectly suited for Nike’s legacy. “The power couple,” one supporter declared, a nod to their 2022 marriage and mutual support, like Hunter cheering Tara’s Olympic win on August 8, 2024. And Tara is returning the favor for Hunter’s Paralympic gold on September 6. Their story—overcoming Tara’s injuries and Hunter’s fibular hemimelia—makes them relatable, yet aspirational. 

The switch from Lululemon, which backed the Woodhalls from 2022 until February 2025, didn’t go unnoticed. “Big loss for Lululemon,” a fan lamented, recognizing the brand’s role in the couple’s rise but acknowledging Nike’s global clout. Nike’s history with track icons like Allyson Felix aligns with the Woodhalls’ star power, offering advanced gear.

Fans see this as a strategic leap as Tara eyes the 2025 World Championships and Hunter preps for future Paralympic goals. How are fans connecting this move to the couple’s journey? The emotional weight of the announcement hit hard, with fans tying it to the Woodhalls’ achievements and charisma.

“I love how this is very ‘I won a gold medal in the Olympics’ inspired,” one wrote, linking Nike’s bold branding to their Paris glory. Another fan reflected on their growth: “From Beanboozled to this. Uhhhh, so proud of y’all. Congrats for the millionth time.” The reference to their playful jellybean challenges on social media underscores their relatability. Can this Nike deal propel them to new heights? We all wait to see that happen.
