Inqlings: For Mitts, priceless moments

You'd say 2008 was a precious year for soccer star

Heather Mitts

.

Mitts, 30, brought home gold from Beijing with the U.S. women's national soccer team - and she picked up diamond from Eagles backup QB A.J. Feeley, 31.

Mitts and Feeley have been together, on and off, for about five years. "It's about time," she told me yesterday.

Mitts, pleading shyness, would not share how Feeley offered the cushion-cut rock in an antique setting last month. "But I will say I was shocked," she admits. "It was an early Christmas present."

Their date is not set in stone, but they're aiming at February 2010. "Finding time off is not easy with us," Mitts says, who's not certain even where the wedding will be - she's from Ohio, he's from Oregon and they live in Old City. "I'm just taking it all in."

Feeley, of course, is much engaged with his teammates at the moment, possibly through Feb. 1. Mitts will travel with Feeley to Arizona and leave after Sunday's game to train in California for the Algarve Cup, which will be held in March in Portugal. Next season, she plays with the Boston Breakers of Women's Professional Soccer.

Mitts says she was drawn to Feeley by his sense of humor. "He's so funny, and he's very affectionate."

That other Eagles couple - wide receiver Hank Baskett and reality-TV queen Kendra Wilkinson - have a June 27 wedding in the works.
