Larson first met Sweet at a race near his hometown of Elk Grove, California. Sweet grew up in nearby Grass Valley with her brother Brad Sweet, who is also a professional race car driver. Shortly after meeting, Larson and Sweet began dating. They began a family together with the birth of their first son, Owen, in 2014.
On Owen’s 3rd birthday — and not long after they announced that they were pregnant with their second baby — Larson popped the question. Sweet said yes and announced their engagement on X (formerly Twitter). The couple later welcomed their second baby, daughter Audrey Layne, in May 2018, and their third child, son Cooper Donald, in December 2022.
“Owen is a little fiery, high energy, redhead both on and off the track,” Larson told PEOPLE of his older son, who seems to enjoy racing almost as much as his father.

Before she took up running, she was an equestrian. In 2017, Sweet posted a throwback photo from her riding days. She reposted the photo from her mom, who wrote, “Racing was in the family but Katelyn controlled her own horse power.
