So, I was just watching some hoops the other night, you know, Celtics were playing. Payton Pritchard was doing his thing, hitting some shots. And it got me thinking, just randomly, like, is this guy married? Who’s he with?

It’s funny how these thoughts pop into your head. Anyway, I had my phone right there, so I just picked it up. Opened up my browser and typed in something simple, probably like “Payton Pritchard wife” or maybe “Payton Pritchard girlfriend”. Hit search.
Okay, so a bunch of stuff came back. You get the usual mix – sports news recaps, some fan forums, a few of those celebrity relationship sites. Had to sift through a bit. Lots of articles mentioning his game, which wasn’t what I was looking for right then.
Then I started seeing a name pop up consistently: Emma MacDonald. Seemed like every other result linked them together. Found some articles talking about them being a couple. Okay, so that seemed to be the answer I was looking for.
Digging a Little More
Got a bit more curious. Who is Emma MacDonald? Did another quick search just for her name alongside his. Found out she’s pretty active on social media, like an influencer type, lifestyle stuff it looked like. Saw mentions of them appearing on each other’s socials, that kind of thing. It started painting a clearer picture.
Found some news bits from maybe last year or so talking about them getting engaged. Saw some headlines like “Pritchard Proposes” and stuff like that. There were photos too, looked like vacation pics or something where he popped the question. They definitely looked official.

So, yeah. Started with just a random thought watching a game, did a couple of searches, filtered through the noise, and figured it out. Seems he’s engaged to Emma MacDonald. That satisfied my curiosity for the night. Just one of those things you look up when it crosses your mind.
