Bode Miller and his wife, Morgan Beck, are happily married, but their relationship wasn't always smooth sailing. According to USA Today, the pair shared the same agent and met while Beck was playing in a volleyball tournament in Florida. "I wasn't really in any position to be looking for anything special anyway, but I decided to go to the volleyball match. I called [Morgan] and asked her, and she said, 'No, I don't want you to come,' which I thought was a little bit indicative of the way she is," Miller told Graham Bensinger in a 2017 interview.

"I was like, 'Well, I'm sorry, you don't get to decide, so I am going to come to the volleyball match,'" he continued. "I went and watched her play. I knew that she was going to be the person I was going to marry. I got to know her much more through that experience of watching her play a sport that she loved and hated at the same time, because she both loves and hates volleyball, she will tell you that."

Miller then took Beck to a jewelry store a month and a half after their first meeting. He recalled, "She said, 'I wouldn't marry you if you ask me.' I said, 'That's fine. No problem.'" Luckily, Beck changed her tune and came around. "She wanted to sort of force me to ask her, so it made it really easy on me," Miller said about the proposal.
