Mike Zimmer starred in one of the most important works of his life: getting down on one knee and asking his stunning model girlfriend Katarina Miketin to marry him, and the model said yes.
Zimmer, 68, is currently the defensive coordinator of the Dallas Cowboys, replacing the vacancy left by current Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn.
Zimmer met Miketin during his seven seasons as head coach of the Minnesota Vikings.
Miketin has previously revealed that his parents were “immigrants from the former Yugoslavia, what is now considered Serbia.”
Miketin, who is reported to be 42 years old, announced his engagement to Zimmer on Saturday on social media with a collage of photos of the couple.
Zimmer is not the only former NFL head coach to publicly display his relationship with a much younger woman, as 72-year-old Bill Belichick is dating 24-year-old Jordon Hudson.
Mike Zimmer and model Katrina Miketin announced their engagement over the weekend.
Miketin has modeled for Maxim magazine in Australia and Sports Illustrated over the years.
'Five years ago we were told we needed to meet… God knew what He was doing. I thank you for you, my best friend… so of course… I said yes!' Miketin said on Instagram.
Miketin has 400,000 followers on Instagram alone and has appeared on the cover of Maxim magazine in Australia.
She has been photographed with Zimmer in Cowboys gear and at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
Zimmer was previously married before his wife, Vikki, died at age 50 in 2009. The couple had three children together.
Rumors that Miketin and Zimmer were dating began in 2020, when they were spotted together at a Vikings game. Miketin confirmed their romance shortly after.

According to other reports, Miketin is 42 years old, more than two decades younger than Zimmer.
I know that I love you because your joy makes me happy, because your satisfaction satisfies me, because your sadness makes me sad,” Miketin said in Croatian on social media. 'Because your pain hurts me, because I am beautiful, because of your beauty.'
'Because I am good because of your goodness, because I love, because of your love and I know that you love me.'
Before announcing her engagement to Zimmer, Miketin did not mention her fiancé on Instagram.
Now, the couple apparently has a wedding to plan.
