Two-time Olympic medalist Jordan Chiles became a topic of debate after the Paris Olympics floor exercise debacle. The controversy affected not just Chiles but also Romanian gymnasts Ana Barbosu and Sabrina Maneca-Voinea. While the complex case has already taken several twists and turns, it may have overshadowed a crucial update about Chiles’s personal life until now.

Shortly after the 23-year-old success during the floor exercise became clouded in controversy, a mystery man was there to cheer her up. “When he brings you flowers cause you haven’t had the best day,” Chiles posted on her Instagram story. The Olympian, who has never revealed the details of her dating life, didn’t disclose her man’s identity. However, now we may have a clue.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Tariq Woolen dropped some major hints during a Mic’d Up episode on YouTube. “I liked her picture on Instagram two days ago,” said Woolen as Jordan Chiles made a guest approach to raise the flag ahead of Seattle’s game with the Miami Dolphins. This may sound enough to establish a strong link between the two.

However, what followed only fanned the flames of speculation. After the quarterback’s confession on Mic’d Up, the team did some digging. They found that Riq has been on a liking spree since July, ahead of the 2024 Olympics. So, they created an Instagram reel compiling Woolen’s likes on Jordan Chiles’ Instagram profile. However, that wasn’t the last of it.

Sports Illustrated revealed that Tariq Woolen’s teammates trolled him in the comments. The NFL star responded, “lol they asked me if they could post. I said yea I wasn’t trippin, so y’all chill.” to his teammates. However, what raised even more eyebrows was the fact that the Seahawks deleted the video from their social handle.

What started as a spontaneous confession after seeing Olympian ahead of the game, turned into quite the bizarre sequence of events. However, the confession led to another clue about the possible link between Woolen and the 23-year-old Olympic gold medalist.

Jordan Chiles’ mystery man’s thoughtful gifts

While the red and white roses, scented candles, and a pack of Sour Patch Kids Chiles’ mystery man got her after the controversial day were thoughtful, it was only the start. The 2023 Pan American Games champion uploaded another Instagram story following the first gift. The second surprise was even more elaborate than the first.

Still dealing with the fallout from the controversy, disgruntled fans filled Chiles’ social media with criticism. Some comments even resorted to racial attacks. It was amidst this difficult time that Jordan Chiles’ mysterious partner was once again there to cheer her up. The gymnast’s story captured the question “Will you be my GF?” written on a bed with rose petals.

A variety of decorations including scented candles, flowers, and even heart-shaped balloons littered the room. Considering the fact that the Seahawks video showed Woolen liking first the gymnastics icon’s Instagram images ahead of the Olympics, it’s not too far-fetched to imagine their courtship continuing after the Paris Olympics.

However, despite the various links between the two athletes, neither Jordan Chiles nor the NFL star has publicly hinted that they are together. The 23-year-old hasn’t uploaded any more stories of her mystery man since August. In fact, there would’ve been no one to speculate unless Tariq Woolen mentioned Chiles in the Mic’d Up episode. Yet, what do you believe? Let us know in the comments!
