Alas Pilipinas player Steven Rotter is officially engaged to his longtime girlfriend, Sophia.
Rotter shared photos of his October 5 proposal, which took place during their 11th anniversary celebration with the breathtaking view of Yosemite National Park as the backdrop.
‘You’re my best friend and my rock, and since the beginning, I knew you were the one I wanted to spend forever with. I am so lucky that 11 years later I finally get to call you my fiancée, ‘Rotter wrote.
The Filipino-American spiker celebrated the milestone back home in California.
The Filipino-American spiker missed Alas’ historic FIVB Volleyball Men’s World Championship after he was ruled ineligible due to federation issues.
Rotter explained that he needs to change his federation from USA Volleyball to the Philippine National Volleyball Federation, despite representing Alas Pilipinas since 2023.
The Spikers’ Turf Finals MVP still watched every game to cheer for his teammates, who finished 19th out of 32 nations with a historic win over Egypt and narrowly missed the round of 16 after a heartbreaking five-set loss to Iran.
Rotter is also preparing for the Spikers’ Turf season with the Cignal HD Spikers, who are returning to action this month.
