Sometimes, Twitter is a good thing and creates delightful, heartwarming interactions. The latest example of that is brought to you by J.J. Watt and Kealia Ohai Watt, but it’s a throwback moment from seven years ago.
Back in 2014 during the National Women’s Soccer League draft, the Houston Dash drafted Kealia out of UNC with the No. 2 overall pick. She was the then-expansion team’s first draft pick, and NFL tight end J.J. — who was playing for the Houston Texans at the time — tweeted at her, welcoming her to the city.
Most people likely forgot about this simple interaction from so many years ago, and that appears to be true for J.J.
In 2019, J.J. and Kealia got engaged, and they were married in February of 2020. As a major sports power couple, their quick 7-year-old Twitter moment is so sweet and wholesome, as one Twitter user pointed out in the replies, which caught the tight end’s attention.
Thanks for pointing this out @lllaciminos
Turned out to be a great start in many ways, eh @KealiaOhai?

In 2014, J.J. tweeted:
“Welcome to Houston @KealiaOhai! Great start for the new Dash franchise. #TeamHouston”
And Kealia responded:
@JJWatt thanks JJ! Excited to play in one of the best cities in the world
Of course, neither of them are in Houston anymore with J.J. now with the Arizona Cardinals, while Kealia plays for the Chicago Red Stars. But it’s so sweet to see this brief interaction and knowing how their story ends.
