Tomlinson and Giselle are high school sweethearts, finally getting together their senior year at Henry County High School in Georgia after years of friendship.
The pair stayed together while Tomlinson starred on the gridiron at Alabama, and Giselle took a winding path from Georgia to Georgia Southern and Texas State.
"We were best friends before [we started dating] so we worked through it," Tomlinson said. "She came to a lot of games … I think she came to more Alabama games than Georgia Southern and Texas State games combined."
The two navigated long distance and life in the NFL, but Tomlinson then had to endure even more twists and turns when trying to propose.
He was scheduled to pick out the diamond in March 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic halted life in New York.
"Oh, Lord," Tomlinson said. "There was a lot of planning since I've been with her a while. Just trying to get the right ring for her and everything, it was a long process.
"Just trying to find the right place and the right time," Tomlinson continued. "And she's super smart, so she almost caught on."
The 28-year-old joked that he "had to do it almost remote."
But the stage was finally set in July when a childhood friend and his wife visited from Florida. Tomlinson said he was in on the friend's proposal a few years back, so it only made sense for the friend to be in on his this past summer.
After some smooth operating — the ring went from Tomlinson's friend's wife to the friend and finally to Tomlinson — Tomlinson lowered his hulking frame to one knee in front of Giselle at a rooftop restaurant on a perfect summer night.
"I was super nervous," Tomlinson said. "So we ate dinner and then I did it on the rooftop with Manhattan behind us.
"She was super surprised because I acted like we were just taking pictures and had her turn around," Tomlinson added.
In the end, Giselle was shocked by the proposal, and the months and months of planning finally paid off for Tomlinson.
