How long they’ve been together and when they got married

Spieth and Verret met and started dating in high school but they attended separate colleges. She went to Texas Tech’s Rawls College of Business and Spieth went to the University of Texas. A few years after graduating, they got engaged on Christmas Eve 2017.

The couple’s wedding took place in November 2018 in Dallas. Fellow golfers Rickie Fowler, Jason Dufner, Jimmy Walker, and Zach Johnson were among those in attendance. Spieth told the Golf Channel that he and Verret took a trip to the Caribbean for their honeymoon.

“We went to the Caribbean,” he said. “We had a good time. Went to a couple different places. It was nice after the wedding to go away and just have nothing going on. Then we both got a little bit bored, so good to be able to see other humans. It was a good time.”
