Melton is the creator of the Momastery website.  She also wrote a memoir she titled Love Warrior.  Melton came out last November in a Facebook post.  She was previously married to her husband Craig Melton for 14 years, with whom she has two daughters and a son.  They divorced three months before her coming out post, as reported by E! News.

In this post, the blogger also revealed that her and Wambach were dating.  "I'm going to share with you my new love.  Her name is Abby. You might recognize her from soccer. She was one of the best players of all time, and she has been a fierce and committed advocate for women's equality for a decade. And honestly? Those are the least impressive things about her."

Wambach, 35, shared this collage of her and Melton on Valentine's Day, just a few days before they announced their engagement.

I found myself when I met you @glennondoylemelton The end. I love you!
