Tadej Pogačar, the 2024 UCI Road World Championships Elite Men’s Road Race winner, is engaged to Urška Žigart, a Professional cyclist like her Fiancée.
Pogačar, 26, also won the Tour de France again, marking his fourth win in six years from 2020. He was beaten twice in 2022 and 2023 by Jonas Vingegaard.
The Tour de France winner and his better-half met in 2019, the same year when he truly broke out as a professional WorldTour cyclist, winning the Tour of California and finishing third in Vuelta a España.
Slowly building into their relationship, they eventually engaged in September 2021, following Tadej’s second Tour de France win.

She was third overall at the Gracia–Orlová in 2024, but finished 9th overall in the latest Giro d’Italia Women.
With so much in common from professional careers to being serial winners, both Tadej and Urška have been holding each other’s hands tightly, just like a Cyclist holds their handlebars while riding, and have attended various events together over the years.
Although it has been a few years since they officially announced their engagement, a marriage may be imminent.
