Cleveland Browns All-Pro defensive end Myles Garrett shared a closeup video of his girlfriend Chloe Kim's qualifying run in the snowboarding halfpipe event at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics on Wednesday (February 11).
Garrett, 30, the 2025 NFL Defensive Player of the Year and new NFL single-season sack record holder, was standing on top the halfpipe while Kim went through her run, which included capturing a video as she went up his end of the structure and rotated back down, as well as taking photos. Kim, 25, who won gold in the halfpipe during the 2018 Pyeongchang and 2022 Beijing Games, showed no rust despite tearing a labrum in her left shoulder last month, landing an inverted backside 720, big switch straight air method, cab 1080 stalefish, frontside 900 and inverted indy 540 for a score of 90.25.
“I'm just happy to be here because for a little bit, a couple of months ago, it wasn't looking too certain," Kim said via NBC Sports. "I'm stoked that I was able to make it out and make it through qualifiers.”
Garrett and Kim officially confirmed their long-speculated relationship when he was mic'd up for the Browns' win against the Las Vegas Raiders on November 23 when a clip of their pregame kiss was shared by the Browns' social media accounts. The two were first seen together at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards in Tokyo in May, when sources from the event told TMZ Sports that they appeared to be "quite couple-y."
Kim has won 15 total gold medals across four major snowboarding events including three at the world championships, eight at the Winter X Games and two at the Winter Youth Olympics, as well as a silver and bronze in the Winter X Games. Garrett was named the 2025 NFL Defensive Player of the Year during the NFL Honors award show last week after recording an NFL record 23 sacks this past season.
The All-Pro defensive end received a record-setting contract extension in March, weeks after he publicly requested a trade, which included $123.5 million in guaranteed money and an average annual salary of $40 million, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported at the time.
