ANNA Hall is a decorated Team USA heptathlete who has been romantically involved with some fellow sporting stars.
She’s competing at the Paris 2024 Olympics — here we get to know football player Joejuan Williams, who Anna’s rumoured to be seeing.
Anna Hall, born on March 23, 2001, in Denver, Colorado, is a track athlete specializing in combined events, who has been representing Team USA since 2019.
She won a bronze medal in the heptathlon at the 2022 World Championships, improving on that the following year to take home silver at the 2023 World Championships.
In 2022, Hall was named the US Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association’s Outdoor National Women’s Field Athlete of the Year.
The 23-year-old is understood to be in a relationship with NFL cornerback Joejuan Williams.
He was born in Nashville, Tennessee on December 6, 1997, and started playing college ball for the Commodores at Vanderbelt University.
Williams was then a second-round draft pick for the New England Patriots in 2019, whom he played for up until 2022.
In 2023, he moved over to the Minnesota Vikings for a short spell, before being drafted by the Chicago Bears in September of the same year.
At the time of writing, Williams is currently a free agent.
Hall was first linked to the NFL star in the fall of 2023.
Williams featured in a number of her TikTok posts, including one in October of that year from the Chicago Marathon.
This online activity has led to speculation that the two are dating — however neither has confirmed the rumours and it isn’t known whether they are still together.
Hall previously dated professional tennis player Ben Shelton.
It’s understood that Hall met Shelton while they were both competing at the University of Florida Gators.
She graduated in May 2023 with a BBA in finance and regularly posts about her life on Instagram to more than 300,000 followers.
However she prefers to keep her romantic life out of the public domain, and while Hall and Shelton were together they rarely shared pictures of each other on social media.
It’s unknown when they officially parted ways, but the news was revealed during an interview with Tennis Unfiltered podcast host James Gray and tennis coach Calvin Betton.
Gray said: “I’d done quite a lot of research for once and just a couple of minutes before someone said, ‘Oh, you know [Shelton’s] dating an athlete?’ I said ‘Oh is he? What’d she do?’ [they said] ‘Heptathlete.’ I looked her up, Anna Hall … one of the best in the world.
“The third or fourth question was like ‘Oh, so you’re obviously on tour in Europe for the first time, but you know, you must have, it’s nice to have your Mrs.
“She’s obviously going around Europe on tour as well, because she had just turned pro or just went on the pro circuit.
“And [Shelton] looked over at the press guy he was with and smiled. He’s like, ‘Actually we broke up like a couple of weeks ago’.”
They were together for almost a year and a half.
To date, neither Hall nor Shelton has publicly commented on the split.
