The Season of Support: Myles Garrett's Role as Chloe Kim's Foundation
While the football season has concluded for NFL sensation Myles Garrett, the competitive spirit is just igniting for his partner, the celebrated snowboarder Chloe Kim. Garrett, at 30, conveyed to Janine Rubenstein of PEOPLE at the Super Bowl 2026 Media Row in San Francisco his unwavering commitment to being Kim's "rock" as she competes in the Milan Winter Olympics later this month.
Journey to Milan: A Partner's Presence at the Games
Garrett shared his immediate travel plans, stating, "I wrap up my commitments here on Sunday, return home for approximately twelve hours, and then I'm off to join her." He elaborated on his journey to Italy to be present for the Games, showcasing his dedication to supporting Kim in person.
Chasing History: Chloe Kim's Pursuit of Olympic Gold
Chloe Kim, 25, is on the verge of making Olympic history in the women's snowboard halfpipe competition, with qualifying rounds scheduled to commence on February 11th in Italy. A gold medal victory would solidify her as the first athlete to achieve a "three-peat" in Olympic history. Her remarkable Olympic journey began with her debut gold at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Games, followed by another gold at the 2022 Beijing Games.
Mutual Encouragement: The Foundation of Their Athletic Relationship
"We are both incredibly supportive of each other," Garrett affirmed, who was in San Francisco representing Uncrustables. "She's consistently checking in with texts and calls throughout my season, and I'm reciprocating that now, inquiring about her emotional and physical well-being." The Cleveland Browns' defensive standout articulated his aspiration to be her steadfast "rock," much like she is for him during his season.
Competitive Spirit: Balancing Rivalry and Romance
Garrett also acknowledged the inherent competitive nature between them. "Our rivalry is intense," he admitted. "Especially when we delve into our respective sports, or even when we engage in friendly games against each other." Garrett, who was honored as Defensive Player of the Year at the 2026 NFL Honors on February 4th, playfully suggested that their competition extends to romantic gestures, asserting, "I'm the more romantic one."
A Public Affair: The Evolution of Their Relationship
The athletic duo was initially linked in May 2025 following their attendance at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards in Japan. Their relationship became publicly known in November 2025, when Kim was seen supporting Garrett at a game where the Browns faced the Las Vegas Raiders.
