Myles Garrett and Chloe Kim’s relationship grew quietly, without attention or hype, built on respect and simply being there for one another. As Kim prepares for another Olympic season, the way she speaks about Garrett shows how much his presence matters in her life. With the 2026 Winter Olympics approaching, Kim is entering one of the most demanding stretches of her career. The offseason, she admits, is the hardest part mentally. Anxiety creeps in before competition begins. Amid that pressure, she finds grounding in people who truly see her. That includes Garrett, whose work ethic and character have left a deep impression on her.
Myles Garrett earns Chloe Kim’s respect beyond the spotlight
Kim spoke candidly about how little she knew of Garrett before they met. “I grew up in a very Korean household, so we didn’t really watch American sports, or sports in general,” she said. Her sports knowledge was limited. “Like I know Tom Brady and LeBron James. That’s my extent, that’s all I know.” What started without expectations has grown into genuine admiration.What stands out to Kim is not Garrett’s accolades, but who he is away from cameras. “Honestly, Myles is such an incredible athlete,” she said. “I’m constantly inspired and in awe of him and how hard he works and how incredibly kind he is.” That balance matters to her. Kindness, she emphasized, is not performative. “He genuinely is one of the kindest people I think I’ve ever met.”For Kim, who has openly discussed years of mental health struggles, that steadiness carries weight. She described how pressure built over time, eventually forcing her to confront her limits through intensive therapy after the 2022 Olympics. The support systems around her now feel clearer. Her appreciation for Garrett reflects that shift. “I’m really lucky to be part of his life and lucky that he’s part of mine,” Kim said. “Yeah, we’re happy.” The words are simple, but they land with honesty.As Kim returns to competition, she carries lessons learned the hard way. Confidence does not mean fear disappears. It means knowing who stands beside you when it shows up. For Chloe Kim, Myles Garrett represents that presence that is quiet, supportive and steady.Also Read: Who is Myles Garrett’s girlfriend Chloe Kim? The Olympic icon behind the NFL star’s new romance
