These two are just too cute!!! Olympic gold medalist Sanya Richards-Ross covers Pynk Magazine “Elite” issue this month and she opened up about her marriage to NFL cornerback Aaron Ross (hopefully the Giants keep him, but he’s currently a free agent). She talks about what it’s like being married to an athlete and even touched on their sex life!
Hit the jump to see what she had to say…

On what it’s like being married to another athlete
It’s as hard or as easy as you make it. Because [Aaron] Ross and I started dating in college, I think we figured out what worked for us very early on. I met him and then just a month later, I traveled for a month to compete. He would stay with me a lot and I remember my sister said he would be in the house listening to slow jams. You know, missing me [laughs]. But it’s just been great. We encourage each other. We support each other. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. So, when he’s away at training camp, I miss him desperately and can’t wait to see him and vice-versa. I think it minimizes our fights [laughs] because we’re so excited to see each other most of the time. It’s awesome. It works well for us.
On if there is a power struggle in her marriage
No. That has been one of the greatest gifts of my marriage. My husband is so confident and comfortable in his own skin that he never feels like I’m doing too much or anything like that. He’s very supportive. For a woman, it’s much easier because we’re naturally supportive. I always want to see him do better and better every year. When he comes to events that are for me, he’s always like ‘no, it’s about her’. When people ask him for autographs, he’s very humble about it. So, we don’t have any power struggles at all.
On how she keeps her marriage spicy
Because [Aaron] Ross and I have great trust in our relationship we also have great trust in the bedroom as well. So, nothing is off limits. We have fun in the bedroom. We’ll be in like the most intimate moment, and we’ll just burst into laughter! It’s just amazing because it takes away all my inhibitions and I don’t feel like anything I do is awkward. I think having that level of trust is important so that you can have fun and explore together.
