The Olympic diver, David Boudia, is one of the most loved athletes in the United States. Those who have happened to catch any of Boudia’s diving at the Olympics and World Championships thus far might have surely noticed his wife, Sonnie Brand. She attends every of her husband’s games and cheers him on from the stands.
But outside of being an incredibly supportive wife, who is David Boudia’s wife, Sonnie Brand. Well, let’s find it out here.
Married To David Boudia Since 2012
Sonnie Brand exchanged her wedding vows with the Olympic champion athlete David Boudia in October 2012, after dating for a couple of years. Reportedly, the current pair, David and Sonnie, met while both were enrolled at Purdue University. They dated for some years till they got engaged a few months before the 2012 London Olympics.
In his interview with Team USA in 2014, Sonnie Brand’s husband, David Boudia, revealed the humorous story of how he proposed Brand for marriage. As per Boudia, he popped the question in May 2012 during a game with their family and friends, which they call succotash. It is a mix of Catch Phrases, charades, one-word guesses, and so on.

Further explaining, Boudia said that while playing the game, he decided to put the word engagement as one of the Catch Phrases in the game. The moment they started playing the first round, Sonnie guessed engagement right away.
Then in the second round, Boudia tried to make a silly gesture that would not represent ‘engagement,’ but Brand guessed it right away.
It took David Boudia a while to finally get the courage to propose Brand. And, undoubtedly, Brand said a big ‘YES’ when Boudia did. The pair tied their marital knot after the London Olympics and are happily rejoicing their marital life ever since.
Sonnie And David Broke Up Twice While They Were Dating
In 2016, David Boudia released his autobiography, Greater Than Gold, which he wrote with Tom Ellsworth. The book covers the diving champion’s personal struggles and his relationship with his beautiful wife, Sonnie Brand. As Boudia mentioned in the book, he broke up twice with his then-girlfriend, Brand, while dating.
Though Boudia revealed many personal details in his autobiography, his partner, Sonnie, was not upset about it. While talking to Indy Star, Brand said that she think honesty is always best. She added that she appreciates her husband’s vulnerability. Also, Brand explained that they are also like everyone, and they have things they are working through.
Furthermore, David Boudia’s wife, Sonnie Brand, told Indy Star that she was inspired by seeing her man’s growth, and she is thankful for that. Boudia surely is a fortunate guy as he got such an understanding and supportive wife.
