Myles Garrett, Chloe Kim confirm romance rumors with kiss at NFL gameMark Giannotto, USA TODAYWed, November 26, 2025 at 3:44 PM UTC·2 min readCleveland Browns star Myles Garrett had another huge performance in his team's Week 12 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, and perhaps this time he was simply showing out for the Olympian in his life.
After months of rumors about Garrett's relationship status, the all-Pro defensive lineman and Olympic snowboarder Chloe Kim appeared to confirm they are a couple when Kim showed up on the sidelines for Cleveland's most recent game. Kim could be seen wishing Garrett good luck, then apologizing for getting make-up on his jersey, as Garrett took pictures with Kim and her family, and then leaned in for a kiss in a video released on social media by the Browns.

Garrett, 29, leads the NFL with 18 sacks this season, including 14 over the past five games. The 2023 NFL Defensive Player of the Year is on pace to set the single-season sacks record set by Michael Strahan (22.5). Kim, 25, is the two-time defending Olympic gold medalist in the women's halfpipe and will attempt to become the first three-peat winner in the event at the 2026 Milan Cortina Games.
Here's the timeline behind this relationship of two elite athletes that, until recently, had been mostly kept private:
Week 1: Detroit Lions wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (18) makes a catch for a touchdown against the Green Bay Packers during the fourth quarter at Lambeau Field. The play was originally ruled an incomplete pass, but the call was overturned. Despite TeSlaa's effort, the Packers won the game 27-13.
Week 1: The New England Patriots' Robert Spillane (14) and Christian Elliss (53) tackle Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer (87) during the second half at Gillette Stadium. The Raiders won the game, 20-13.
Week 1: New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson (3) fumbles the ball on a tackle by Washington Commanders safety Will Harris (3) during the first quarter at Northwest Stadium. It was a rough Giants debut for Wilson (17 of 37 passing for 168 yards) as the Commanders won the game, 21-6.
Week 1: Fireworks go off before the NFL Kickoff Game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field. The defending Super Bowl champion Eagles opened the season with a 24-20 victory over their longtime NFC East rivals.1 / 4Best images of the 2025 NFL season
