Wales rugby player Georgia Evans is in a particularly joyful place in her life, and it's easy to see why. This year has brought her a series of exciting milestones, including winning the Premiership Women's Rugby (PWR) title with her club Saracens, getting engaged to England rugby star Hannah Botterman under a beautiful Greek sunset, and moving into a new home. At 29, Evans is also considering starting a family, and with her recent engagement and personal achievements, 2026 is shaping up to be a year to remember. Just a year ago, Evans was in a very different situation. Wales had been eliminated from the Rugby World Cup in a disappointing manner, and Evans faced harsh criticism online, which sparked a significant social media backlash. However, the rugby community rallied around her, and her pink ribbon became a symbol of support and solidarity. Reflecting on her current state, Evans said, "I'm in a really good space. I've got lots of things to focus on outside of rugby, and I've taken the pressure off. It's now about being my happiest self, and when I'm happy, I'm playing free." Despite being on opposing teams for club and country, Evans and Botterman share a strong bond. Evans expressed pride in watching Botterman's successful return to the England team, which has an impressive 39-Test winning streak. "It's amazing to support my fiancée and see her success," Evans said. "We're not in each other's pockets, but we're doing the same type of thing every day, which helps a lot. I'm incredibly proud of her, and I hope she's proud of me." When asked about her engagement, Evans described the moment as surreal. "I was in a bit of a bubble. It felt like a fever dream where you just don't know what's going on, and then I came back for pre-season and it all hits you pretty hard." While she hasn't started planning a wedding yet, she has enlisted her teammates Alisha Joyce and Meg Webb as bridesmaids, joking that she might not come back alive from the hen do. Evans and Botterman are also beginning to plan for a family. Botterman recently underwent pre-scans, which were a surprise to her, and Evans noted that the process of preparing for a family is both challenging and necessary. The couple praised the support they have received from their respective rugby unions, especially after Alisha Joyce and her wife Jaz welcomed their son Ralphie into the world while being part of Wales' team. Evans emphasized the importance of such support for elite athletes planning for motherhood, saying, "It's another step forward to allow us to plan for motherhood because rugby is such a small time frame in your life, and it's such a bigger thing to look forward to after rugby." When asked about the allegiance of any future children, Evans was quick to say, "We've already had that argument. They'll be wearing a Welsh shirt for sure."
