Amy, 42, ended her a 40-game win streak back in January 2021.

Since then, she has quit her job as a software engineer to write a book.

She also became engaged to her girlfriend, Genevieve Davis, 25.

The couple had agreed to get married sometime in February.

Amy expected the proposal to come on February 20 – their 1-year relationship anniversary.

However, Genevieve surprised her by proposing on a random Tuesday, February 8.

“She came in, and I was on one knee, and she freaked out,” Davis recalled.

Amy offered a proposal of her own after their favorite dinner spot at Sonoma a week later.
