Myles Garrett is Chloe Kim's number one fan!
The Olympic snowboarder, 25, opened up about the uplifting support of her NFL boyfriend, 30, who helped her through a "stressful" moment in a light-hearted way while she was competing at the 2026 Winter Games.
Kim, who won a silver medal for Team USA in the women's snowboard halfpipe, reflected on a hard-to-miss fashion statement made by Garrett to ease her nerves while speaking with co-hosts Gayle King and Nate Burles on CBS Mornings.

The Cleveland Browns star sported a shirt with his girlfriend's face on it, specifically a zip-up layer with a massive graphic of the snowboarder smiling from a prior Olympic Games that he rocked under his winter coat in Milan.
"He's the best," Kim said of Garrett showing up for her on CBS Mornings on Tuesday, Feb. 24, before then speaking about his style statement alongside Snoop Dogg, who also wore a jacket with the athlete's face enlarged on its front.
"It's so fun that everyone came out for that," she continued. "It just made a really intense, stressful moment so light and kind of grounded me. Just to remind me why I'm here to begin with, and it's always been my support system, my family."
"Myles has been in my life for a little over a year now, and he's been the most amazing, supportive person in my life," she added of her NFL boyfriend, to whom she's been publicly linked since May 2025. The two confirmed their romance in November 2025.
This isn't the first time Garrett wore his love for Kim on his sleeve (well, shirt)! He was seen wearing a hilarious T-shirt the professional snowboarder brought him for Valentine's Day in a sweet Instagram tribute.
"I ❤︎ my super hot beautiful girlfriend. So please stay away from me," read the shirt.

Kim shared the loved-up post on Valentine's Day, which marked the first year they're spending the holiday together. "blinked and suddenly I had a Valentine ❤️ and yes I bought him the shirt," Kim captioned her post.
Garrett quipped in the comments: "Still waiting for you to wear my shirt 🙄." To which his girlfriend replied, "🫡 I’m on it!!"
Kim emerged from the 2026 Winter Olympics with more than just a silver medal, but a bit of wisdom, too.

“I learned so much about myself,” she told PEOPLE exclusively. “I definitely went through a really dark time and jumped through so many hurdles just to get [here].”
The two-time Olympic gold medalist, who many believed was going to win a historic third this year in Livigno, instead overcame self-described burnout, mental health challenges and, in January, a dislocated shoulder and torn labrum to make it onto this year’s podium.
She calls the moment “unreal” given the odds she faced: “I got back on the snow a week before the Games, after only eight days of snowboarding this entire season,” said Kim, who hurt her shoulder during training in Switzerland about five weeks before her Olympic event and was still wearing a brace in Livigno.
In the end, she was narrowly beaten by 17-year-old Choi Gaon of South Korea on Feb. 12.
“I learned to adapt and find the silver lining,” Kim said. “I came out of this a lot stronger.”
