Snowboard icon Chloe Kim returned from the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Games with another historic podium finish and a moment that quickly melted hearts far beyond the halfpipe. The Olympic silver medalist celebrated Valentine’s week with Cleveland Browns defensive star Myles Garrett, whose grand gesture turned a milestone achievement into one of the most talked-about love stories of the Games.
Kim’s performance already secured her place in history as the first female halfpipe rider to medal in three consecutive Winter Olympics. Yet it was the off-snow celebration that sent social media into a frenzy. A cascade of pink and white flowers appeared on her Instagram story days before a surprise reveal hinted that Garrett had planned something far more personal to honor both Valentine’s Day and her Olympic success.
A pink Bronco, Olympic history and a romance growing stronger
Garrett’s gift arrived in dramatic fashion: a customized pink Ford Bronco valued at more than $100,000. The vehicle featured bespoke touches, including the initials “CK” stitched into the seats, a detail that underscored the personal nature of the present. Kim shared her reaction online, saying she was “obsessed,” while Garrett confirmed the gesture with a kiss emoji that delighted fans following their relationship.
The Browns star also traveled to Italy to support Kim during the competition, standing by as she secured silver behind South Korea’s Chòi Gaon. Observers spotted the couple celebrating together, reinforcing the sense that their bond continues to deepen amid demanding athletic schedules.
In a recent interview, Kim described Garrett’s presence in her life with warmth and gratitude. “He's my best friend, truly... Despite his busy life and his busy schedule, he's always shown up for me and I try to do the same for him,” she said.
Another aspect that she added to their relationship is the daily familiarity that makes their relationship down to earth: It is so funny when you just find someone who you have so much in common with... we like to do nothing but just sit round, and anime, we like to play the same games, we like the same foods.
The two were initially rumored to be together in May 2025 at the Anime Awards in Tokyo. Another indication of a mutual support and friendship in a partnership, several months later, is that they share milestones and moments together without saying a word and are both just fond of life outside the limelight.
