The two have been together since 2018, when both of them were student-athletes at the University of Florida.
Finke recently wrapped up his season at the Pan Pacific championships in Irvine, California less than two weeks ago. There he finished runner-up in the 800 free (7:42.52), and 3rd in both the 400 IM (4:07.59) and the 1500 free (14:44.26).
In report published back in October of 2025 from People, Finke said that Zweifel has “sacrificed a lot from herself” to allow for Finke to continue to compete at the highest levels.
“But the one thing that I know Ellie does for me is she’s one of my biggest supporters and she’s sacrificed a lot from herself to allow me to do what I want to do.” Finke told People in the report from October. “I’m just looking forward to be able to repay that one day.”
In that same report, Finke mentioned that he had not really had much intention of swimming past the 2024 Olympics, though the thought of a home Olympics in 2028 has kept him coming back for more.
“As years went on after Tokyo, I was like, ‘The home Olympics, that’s a once in a lifetime opportunity,’ seeing how the fans and the home country in France reacted to their athletes was incredible.” Finke said. “I know like in America, we always want to be the best and do better. That’s, that’s what I’m really looking forward to.”
