From the US Open to the VMAs, Jordan Chiles has been making waves everywhere since the Paris Olympics ended. The gymnast, who was at the center of a major controversy involving the floor exercise debacle, now seems to have moved on. However, fans have started speculating about her personal life, shifting the focus away from gymnastics. She has been strongly linked to Seattle Seahawks quarterback Tariq Woolen after he mentioned her in a Mic’d Up episode on YouTube.
“I liked her picture on Instagram two days ago,” he said after Jordan raised the flag at Seattle’s game against the Miami Dolphins. Afterward, the team humorously created a reel compiling all the Jordan Chile posts Tariq had liked. Once it was uploaded, the rumors gained significant momentum, and many began to believe that the quarterback was dating the gymnast.
However, Jordan Chiles has now come out and clarified that she is not in a relationship at this moment. During her Instagram live on November 21st, Jordan was asked by fans about her status. She said, “Yeah, I am single.” When she was further probed about the reason why she hadn’t found somebody yet, Jordan explained how dating is tough in the limelight.

“Not everybody has, you know, something that they’re trying to give to the world just like you. You also have to understand you come collectively together as one. You have to understand each other’s path, each other’s rights, and each other’s way of loving each other. So it’s really hard being able to, especially me being in the public eye,” she said. After that, Jordan decided to explain what she wanted in a man. She said that she didn’t have much expectation, and the person dating the gymnast doesn’t have to be an A-lister.
But Jordan hasn’t found what she is looking for. “I just expect you to love me in the way that I feel like I should be loved. So if people keep asking me, like, Oh, how are you single? How are you single? I just haven’t found the right one. I haven’t found the right man.” Thus, it seems that the gymnast is not dating anyone at this moment. However, the gymnast herself had started the rumour mill after dropping a hint post-Olympics.

In fact, this Instagram Live is possibly the first time where she has come out and confirmed that she’s single. However, if that is true, who was the mystery man in the post? Of course, the secret individual could also just be a friend of the gymnast who was trying to make her happy after a rough day.
Another possibility is that, as the story is now almost three months old, maybe there was someone in the picture at that time, but not anymore. Thus, fans still have a lot of unanswered questions. However, Jordan Chiles has at least put the rumors of the present to bed. Now, the gymnast will be hoping to concentrate solely on her collegiate career with the UCLA Bruins. A great performance in the NCAA could give her redemption after the whole floor exercise controversy. We’ll have to wait and see what transpires there.
