Olympic Star Ariarne Titmus Celebrates One Year With Boyfriend
One year after retiring from competitive swimming, Ariarne Titmus is focusing on life beyond the pool. She recently commemorated the anniversary of her first date with her boyfriend, Mack.
Shared Celebration at Melbourne Cup Carnival
Titmus and Mack attended the 2025 TAB Champions Stakes Day at the Melbourne Cup Carnival, where she was an ambassador for the Victoria Racing Club. The athlete has had a lifelong passion for horse racing, having grown up around horses and competed in dressage and show jumping before dedicating herself to swimming.
First Date and Full Circle Moment
Using social media, Titmus posted a selfie with Mack, revealing their first date took place exactly one year earlier at the Stakes Day event. Stakes Day features high-profile horse races with prize funds partly made up of entry fees from horse owners.
“Full circle moment ❤️ Mac and I had our first date on Stakes day last year. A quiet drink after the races. Here we are together, one year on 🥰.”

Although little is publicly known about Mack, Titmus described him as arriving in her life at “the perfect time,” coinciding with her retirement announcement. The four-time Olympic gold medalist retired from swimming last month, surprising many fans who wondered why she ended her career at just 25 years old.
