The Falcons were up by the now infamous score of 28-3 at the time, so it didn’t seem noteworthy when 20-year-old John Goehrke replied with a wager.
He replied to her tweeted asking if he could go on a date with her if the Patriots won and Bouchard replied “sure.”
The rest is history, as the Patriots completed the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history and professional tennis player went on a date with Goehrke, a student from Chicago.
The two went to a Brooklyn Nets game and seemed to hit it off and when asked after the game if the two would go on another date, Bouchard responded “for sure.”
Now, 10 months later, the two spent some more time together in the Bahamas, where Goehrke was to watch his idol Tiger Woods make his return to professional golf.
Both parties posted numerous shots to social media that show the pair getting awfully cozy and one shot even featured a little holiday mistletoe filter on Snapchat.

This could be the first time they’ve seen each other since February or they could have been secretly dating for the past 10 months, but either way, Goehrke is getting a lot of love online.
If the two do end up as an official couple, there will surely be a lot more Twitter users trying to make wagers with their favourite celebrity crushes.
