After soaking up all the Olympic glory and heartache, it’s time for Jordan Chiles to head back to her roots—Bruin blue and gold, baby! After the glitz and glamour of the Paris Olympics and that sensational bronze medal fiasco, Jordan made a decision that had the UCLA fans buzzing with excitement. Back in August, she declared with all the confidence in the world, “I am returning back to UCLA to represent the Bruins for my two remaining years of college.” Talk about a homecoming worth celebrating!

Now, Jordan Chiles is trading the red, white, and blue spotlight for the electrifying vibes of Pauley Pavilion as she dives straight into the NCAA season. And guess what? The behind-the-scenes sneak peeks are already rolling in, giving fans a glimpse into her comeback journey and making her mother emotional.

UCLA Gymnastics hit the ‘Gram with an epic montage celebrating Jordan Chiles’ long-awaited return, and the caption says it all: “@jordanchiles is back in Bruin Blue! 📷🎥🎬💙” Yes, the queen is back in UCLA gym! The first slide kicks things off with Jordan owning the scene in her UCLA jersey, casually throwing up rock signs while lounging on gym equipment. Oh and “Behind the Scenes”? Pure vibes. Slide two keeps it going with Jordan rocking her leotard, flashing that signature smile for the camera.

Then things get even cooler with a collage showcasing funky French-tipped nails, mid-air jumps, poses near the balance beam, and some epic photoshoot moments. The next video is a showstopper, featuring a close-up of her iconic Olympic tattoo, followed by Jordan chatting with the camera while effortlessly nailing every shot. More beam work, gym poses, and fierce leopard leotard moments follow, along with a few more glimpses of those flawless nails. It’s a full-on mix of balance, moves, and behind-the-scenes magic, all packed with that signature Bruin energy.

During the 2023 NCAA season, Jordan Chiles absolutely dominated, and she was named the NCAA uneven bars and floor exercise champion. She scored a 10 on bars for the third time this year to clinch it and got a 9.9875 on floor exercise to help UCLA post a postseason program record 49.7125 on the event. She also placed second in the NCAA all-around event with a score of 39.7125, only a slight .05 behind the winner. In vault, she earned 9.9000 to finish fifth in the event while ending the regular season ranked second in the all-around, first on bars, third on vault, fourth on floor, and 18th on beam. Safe to say, Jordan’s 2023 season was nothing short of incredible!

But coming back to the post, no surprises here—Jordan Chiles’ big comeback to UCLA has fans buzzing, but there’s one person feeling all the feels a bit extra: her mom, Gina Chiles! Gina was too touched by the montage and in the comment section, she couldn’t help but shed a tear and confess. “Not sure if I’m supposed to get emotional, but I did… this song… Jordan… all of it!!” Yep, cue the waterworks.

And speaking of the song, Coldplay’s Sky Full of Stars was the perfect emotional cherry on top, setting the mood just right for this moment. But honestly, Gina’s love for her daughter isn’t news to anyone—she’s always been her biggest cheerleader and fiercest defender. And just some time ago, Mama Chiles even boldly shut down the haters as Jordan returned to UCLA with a twist!

Jordan Chiles has the strong backing of her Mama Chiles!

Right after the whirlwind of the 2024 Olympics, Jordan Chiles did not waste any time teasing her next big career decision—returning to the Bruins for another season of NCAA. The confirmation sent fans into a frenzy, but with that exciting announcement came the inevitable prep work. As Jordan prepared for her return to college, her mom, Gina Chiles has been on a different kind of campaign. It looks like Gina is not completely past the struggles Jordan went through recently, but that has not prevented her from leaping right into the fray. This time, her focus? An emotional and somewhat passionate attempt to help her daughter by taking over the listings for Jordan’s leotards.

Last month, Gina took to the Facebook group Jordan Chiles Leo Collection with a no-nonsense update. She disclosed her intention to assist her daughter in removing a mountain of leos as part of packing for UCLA. But it wasn’t just about tidying up; Gina’s announcement came with a bold defense against any doubters. “I’ve done this before for her this way & EVERYONE received their Leo. I don’t have interest nor would I scam,” she fired back to her critics.

She even addressed the pricey nature of the signed leotards, explaining that while Jordan’s team set those prices, unsigned versions would be available for fans looking for something more budget-friendly. And for those with an extra dose of negativity? Gina didn’t hold back, asking them to “Unfollow this group if you use everything I do as an opportunity to hate. Please & Thank you.” Talk about a mic-drop moment!

Beyond the sass and determination, Gina’s effort reflects her unwavering support for Jordan. She is helping to get rid of old leotards, free up wardrobe space, and offer fans a unique opportunity to own a piece of history all while fighting against baseless scam claims. Oh, and for those eager to grab these leos, Gina mentioned they might even arrive in time for Christmas. With this cleanup now in progress, it is easy to see that she is setting the table for Jordan to enter the NCAA season with a new look and a chip on her shoulder. Let’s be real—whether it’s rocking the gym or the Bruins’ blue and gold, Jordan’s about to serve some serious vibes, and Gina’s got her back every step of the way.
