Shriffin and Kilde’s love story began after they met for the first time seven years ago at a ski camp in Chile. But it all started with just a friendship. Until early 2021, they made their first public appearance in 2021. In a chat with Reuters, she revealed: ?I think he started the conversation by saying ?Hi?. He also sent the first friend request ? He never ever stopped being nice and friendly but also always very respectful, especially because at some point I was in a relationship and he had a couple of relationships as well over that time frame.?

In 2021, their relationship started when they both were going through hard times in their life. Shiffrin had lost and their father and Kilde were recovering from a knee injury. ?Last year he got in touch with me again with a really nice and supportive message to my family once I started racing again after my dad?s accident and this time, we just never stopped chatting,??Shiffrin said.
