Myles Garrett may have a new love interest in his life.
The defensive tight end, who made headlines in March 2025 when he signed a record-breaking contract extension with the Cleveland Browns, has stepped out multiple times with Olympic snowboarder Chloe Kim.
The two athletes were first linked in May 2025, when they attended the Crunchyroll Anime Awards together in Japan. Since then, they’ve dropped a few subtle hints of a romance, though they haven’t officially confirmed their relationship status. In August 2025, Kim visited Garrett at training camp and shared videos of her cheering him on on her Instagram Stories.
A month later, she shared a carousel of images from a boating excursion, including a photo that appeared to be of Garrett’s back.
So, are Myles Garrett and Chloe Kim dating? Here’s everything to know about the Olympic snowboarder and her rumored romance with the football star.
She’s a professional snowboarder
Kim is widely regarded as one of the best female snowboarders in the world.
She started in the sport when she was just 4 years old because her dad, Jong Jin Kim, wanted to try it out for himself.
“There was no prior knowledge of the sport,” Kim recalled during a July 2025 appearance on the What Shapes Us podcast. “I kind of just went into it, and my dad and I learned together.”
At 14, Kim made history by winning gold in the superpipe at the 2015 Winter X Games, becoming the youngest-ever titleholder.
She won her first Olympic gold medal at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics and her second at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. Kim was also the first athlete to win all four major snowboarding titles in the Olympics, Worlds, Youth Olympics and X Games, according to Olympics.com.
She’s currently training for the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, where she has the chance to become the first snowboarder ever to win three consecutive halfpipe gold medals.
She’s originally from California
Kim was born and raised in Torrance, Calif., to parents Boran Yun and Jong Jin.
Her dad, who became an internet sensation after he was seen supporting and cheering Kim on at her first Olympics, moved from South Korea to the U.S. in the early ‘80s, according to The New York Times. After recognizing her potential early on, Jong Jin quit his job to support Kim’s dream of making it to the Olympics, often driving her six hours from their home to Mammoth Mountain Ski Area for practice.
In February 2022, Kim starred in a 60-second film for P&G, which served as a tribute to her family.
“My parents, as I’m pretty sure the world knows, are so important. My upbringing and giving me a sense of who I am — they were the most amazing supportive parents,” she told PEOPLE, adding of the project: “I was so excited for this because I love our story, the Kim story. I really think that it would be relatable. I think all parents want the best for their kids and my parents want that for me too.”
She almost quit snowboarding
After winning her second gold medal in Beijing, Kim found herself “in a lull,” as she told Olympics.com, and debated retiring from snowboarding altogether. “I did my previous combos for so long that I was just so over it and I needed to switch things up,” she said.
Kim went on to explain how revisiting some of her old moves helped her fall back in love with the sport. “I really wanted to start having fun again as that’s something I hadn’t felt in a long time. So I started to only do runs that felt exciting and challenging,” she continued. “I realised that I love learning tricks. I started spinning back side again for the first time in 15 years and a whole new world just opened up for me. It feels so rewarding.”
Kim also noted that the pressure she put on herself to win was contributing to her “resentment towards the sport.” After working with a therapist, she was able to reframe her mindset and explore who she is beyond snowboarding.
“I always stressed myself out because I thought that winning was the only thing that brought value to my life. Without it, I thought I’d lose my sense of self-identity,” she said. “But I realised that that wasn’t the case and that I had so much more to give and could have fun while doing it.
She and Garrett first sparked dating rumors in May 2025
Rumors about Kim and Garrett’s relationship first began circulating after the pair attended the Crunchyroll Anime Awards together in Tokyo in May 2025.
Kim was a presenter at the show, and the two athletes walked the orange carpet together, posing for photos. In one shot, Kim looked up at Garrett and smiled while he had his arm around her waist. The football player could also be seen in the background watching Kim as she gave an interview.
A few months later, Kim attended the Browns’ preseason training camp to support Garrett. She shared several photos and videos from the practice session on her Instagram Stories, including a video of her rumored beau in action.
She also shared a cute video in June 2025 of her and Garrett racing each other inside a training facility.
She’s appeared on The Masked Singer
In addition to her athletic achievements, Kim is also a talented singer. She competed as Jellyfish on season 4 of FOX’s The Masked Singer, making it all the way to the semi-finals before her identity was revealed.
Kim had no formal vocal training or performance experience prior to the show, however, she’s always had a passion for music.
“I taught myself how to play guitar, so I’d always travel with the guitar while I was on the road,” she told Entertainment Weekly. “Singing is actually really therapeutic for me when I’m stressed or something … But I’ve never taken it seriously, it’s just been a hobby of mine.”
She added that her family’s interest in the show was one of the reasons she decided to go on it.
“My parents actually were obsessed with the Korean version of the show, where it kind of started,” she explained. “I would jump in and watch with them, when we were all together. And we have these karaoke nights, too, sometimes at our house.”
