Watt, who's a three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year, tweeted "I'm the luckiest man in the world" #SheSaidYes.
Ohai's tweet said: "I love you."
She plays for the Houston Dash.
Watt, a college standout at Wisconsin, is known for helping raise more than $40 million for storm relief after Hurricane Harvey. An online fundraiser Watt launched after the storm hit Texas in 2017 went viral and far exceeded his original goal of raising $200,000.
Watt routed the millions to eight groups actively involved in Texas' rebuilding and recovery.
