Who is Spencer Lee's girlfriend? All we know about the American wrestler's dating life
Spencer Lee, the former University of Iowa wrestler, is in a relationship with former Mount Mercy Mustangs softball player, Emilee Bradley. The couple has been together since they were in the sixth grade.
Lee is currently competing at the Paris Olympics, where he reached the semifinals of the 57 kg weight category and is currently just two wins away from a maiden Olympic gold.
Spencer Lee, 25, amassed three NCAA Division 1 National Championships and three age-group World Championship titles. The two-time US National Champion had a chance to compete at the 2020 US Team Trials but didn't earn a qualification.
Fast forward to now, Spencer Lee battled past his Round 16 rival Zou Wanhou of China and quarterfinals rival Bezkat Almaz Uulu to secure a spot in the semifinals against Uzbekistan wrestler Gulomjon Andullaev.
Lee is currently dating Emilee Bradley, having been together since they were teenagers. Bradley appeared in five games as a softball player in the Mount Mercy Mustangs team. Her batting average of .000 culminated with the Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athlete honor she earned in 2020.
Once Lee and his girlfriend, Emilee Bradley, appeared at the Dan Gable Wrestling Complex to have a fun time riding exercise bikes and running. When the names of the Hawkeye Big Ten individual wrestling champions flashed on the screen, Bradley wondered why her boyfriend's name was not there, unaware of the fact that Lee didn't earn any at that point.
Recalling the light-hearted moment, Spencer Lee quoted the conversation, saying (via Hawkeye Sports in 2020):
"She said, ‘Why isn’t your name up there, Spence? I was like, ‘That’s Big Ten, and I haven’t won that.’ I was laughing, but she was, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry.’ It is kind of funny she didn’t realize it."
Spencer Lee and his girlfriend attended a University of Iowa alumni's wedding
Lee and Bradley have not been in the public eye often. Since the latter's Instagram account is private, only one post in Lee's Instagram handle featured the couple sharing frame with Maria and Alex Marinelli on their wedding day.
Maria Marinelli has also attended the University of Iowa and managed the Hawkeye wrestling team from 2015 to 2019.
Lee is currently gearing up for the semifinals in the 57 kg weight category at the Paris Olympics and his match is scheduled on August 8, at 9:52 pm.
