When Olympic Gold Meets NFL Gold: Chloe Kim Shows Up to Support Her Superstar Boyfriend

Look, we’ve all been there. Your significant other has a big day at work, and you show up to be supportive. But when you’re Olympic snowboarding legend Chloe Kim and your boyfriend is Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett, “showing up to work” means rolling up to an NFL joint practice like you own the place. And honestly? Good for her.

Kim Brings Olympic Fire to Browns Training Camp

The 25-year-old snowboarding phenom made quite the entrance at the Browns-Eagles joint practice this week, and let’s just say she didn’t exactly blend into the crowd. Kim documented her NFL experience on Instagram, because of course she did – when you’re dating one of the league’s most dominant pass rushers, you might as well flex a little.

Her social media tour started innocently enough with a photo of Noah the Eagle, Philadelphia’s “animal ambassador.” Cute, right? But then came the real content gold: footage of Garrett warming up with his teammates. You could practically feel the collective jealousy of Browns fans everywhere who would kill for that kind of access.

The Power Couple We Didn’t Know We Needed

Kim and Garrett’s relationship became public knowledge earlier this year after they were spotted together at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards in Tokyo. Because nothing says “power couple” quite like two world-class athletes bonding over anime in Japan. The pairing makes perfect sense when you think about it – both are absolute monsters in their respective sports, both know what it’s like to perform under impossible pressure, and both probably have trophy rooms that would make most people weep with envy.

Chloe’s Ridiculous Resume Puts Most Athletes to Shame

If you somehow don’t know who Kim is (and honestly, where have you been?), let me educate you real quick. This woman is basically the snowboarding equivalent of a cheat code. She burst onto the scene at 14 – yes, fourteen – when she became the youngest-ever X Games title winner in 2015. While most of us were struggling with algebra, Chloe was literally rewriting the record books.

The California native didn’t just stop there, though. She went on to become the first female snowboarder to land back-to-back 1080s, collected six Winter X Games titles, and grabbed two world championships. Oh, and she was too young to compete in the 2014 Sochi Olympics – an event where she was already considered medal-worthy. Talk about being ahead of schedule.

Breaking Records Like It’s Her Day Job

When Kim finally got her Olympic shot at PyeongChang 2018, she didn’t just win – she absolutely demolished the competition. Her 98.25-point performance in the halfpipe was so dominant it left her nearest competitor a full ten points behind. That’s not winning; that’s making a statement that roughly translates to “I’m not like the rest of you.”

But wait, there’s more. Chloe became the youngest halfpipe Olympic gold medalist and the first athlete to win all four major snowboarding titles: Olympics, Worlds, Youth Olympics, and X Games. Most people can’t even win their fantasy football leagues, and this woman is out here collecting championship hardware like Pokemon cards.

From Breakfast Cereals to Barbie Dolls

The success translated into some pretty wild opportunities. Chloe has appeared on breakfast cereal boxes, been immortalized as a Barbie doll, and even became a playable character in Fortnite. She’s also starred in films and music videos, because apparently being a two-time Olympic champion leaves you with some free time for side projects.

Here’s where it gets really impressive: Kim deferred admission to Princeton University until 2023 specifically to focus on the Beijing 2022 Olympics. That’s right – she turned down an Ivy League education to chase another gold medal. The move paid off spectacularly when she became the first female snowboarder to win back-to-back halfpipe Olympic golds.

Garrett’s Need for Speed Adds Drama

Of course, no power couple story would be complete without a little drama. Last week, Garrett made headlines for all the wrong reasons when he was cited for driving 100 mph in a 60 mph zone at 2 a.m. Apparently, this was his eighth speeding ticket since being drafted in 2017. 

Look, we get it – when you’re making $160 million over four years (thanks to his recent contract extension), those speeding fines probably feel like pocket change. But maybe slow down a bit? Chloe didn’t risk life and limb on halfpipes just to watch her boyfriend become a cautionary tale about highway safety.

The Perfect Match of Athletic Excellence

What makes this relationship so compelling is that both Kim and Garrett understand the unique pressures of being elite athletes. Chloe knows what it’s like to have an entire nation’s expectations on her shoulders, while Garrett deals with the weekly grind of NFL scrutiny. They both operate in worlds where one mistake can define your legacy, and one great performance can elevate you to legendary status.
