Mon Jan 20 10:27:20 UTC 2025: ## Olympic Champion Neeraj Chopra Marries in Secret Ceremony
**Chandigarh, India** – Neeraj Chopra, India’s star javelin thrower and two-time Olympic medalist, has secretly married his girlfriend, Himani. The wedding, a closely guarded affair held in Himachal Pradesh over three days (January 14-16), was attended by only 40-50 close family and friends. News of the nuptials only emerged after Chopra himself shared the news on social media, surprising fans and media alike.
The couple’s decision to keep the ceremony private is speculated to be a result of previous media attention surrounding Chopra’s relationships, including past rumors linking him to other prominent figures. While earlier reports suggested a potential marriage to fellow Olympian Manu Bhaker, both families denied those claims.
Chopra’s remarkable athletic career includes a gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, making him the first Indian track and field athlete to win an individual gold. He followed this up with a silver medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, becoming the first Indian track and field athlete to win medals in consecutive Summer Olympics. Further solidifying his position as a world-class athlete, *Track and Field News* recently named Chopra the world’s best javelin thrower in 2024.
The newly married couple has reportedly gone on honeymoon abroad and may host a reception for friends and well-wishers upon their return to India. Himani, reportedly a tennis player currently studying in the United States, is now Mrs. Chopra. The secrecy surrounding the wedding has sparked considerable interest and discussion on social media.
