One year after retiring from swimming, Ariarne Titmus is embracing new chapters in her life beyond the pool. She recently celebrated a personal milestone: one year since her first date with her boyfriend, Mack.
Titmus and Mack attended the 2025 TAB Champions Stakes Day during the Melbourne Cup Carnival, where Titmus acted as an ambassador for the Victoria Racing Club.
Having grown up around horses, Titmus has had a long-standing love for horse racing. Before focusing on swimming, she competed in dressage and show jumping.
Sharing the memory on social media, Titmus posted a selfie with Mack and revealed their first date took place on Stakes Day exactly one year ago. Stakes Day features prestigious horse races with prize money partially funded by owners' entry fees.
“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 🥰,”
Little is publicly known about Mack. Titmus described his arrival in her life as perfectly timed, coinciding with her announcement of retirement from swimming last month. Many fans remain curious why she ended her competitive career at the age of 25.
Summary: Ariarne Titmus marks one year since her first date with boyfriend Mack, coinciding with her transition from Olympic swimming to new passions like horse racing and public life.
