Inside Myles Garrett and Chloe Kim’s Low-Key but Adorable Relationship
Myles Garrett — the man who just shattered the NFL single-season sack record — sat down for a Sports Illustrated interview, turned to his girlfriend, two-time Olympic gold medalist Chloe Kim, and recited a poem he’d written for her.
The clip has been flooding feeds ever since, and honestly, it earns every single view.
The 30-year-old NFL star shared 23 “personal facts” about himself during the interview, released Feb. 19 — a fitting number, given Garrett logged 23 sacks during the 2025-26 season to break the NFL single-season sack record.
But his on-field dominance wasn’t what sent the internet into meltdown mode. It was the way he talked about Kim.
The Poem Everyone Keeps Replaying
The moment hit during Fact #18, when Garrett opened up about his love for writing poetry.
He described his creative process with a level of thoughtfulness that might catch off guard anyone who only knows him as one of football’s most fearsome pass rushers.
“It really just kind of flows. Sometimes it comes from things I see. Sometimes it’s pictures I take, books I read, any kind of literature or more dilemma or query I may have,” he said. “I think there are a lot of different influences and motivations for me, but I think the main one is love or afterlife.”
“Those are (the) kind of things that go through my head and how those things intertwine or how they really are transcended,” he added.
Then the interviewer asked him to share a line. Garrett turned directly to Kim, who was in the room, and asked if she remembered the poem he wrote for her.
“You don’t remember the poem I wrote for you? Why don’t you got a line?” he told Kim, who said she was looking for it.
She found it on her phone and handed it over. Her reaction before he even started reading? Already iconic.
“It’s so sweet. I cried,” she said off camera. Garrett’s response: “You cry easily.”
Then he recited: “You enrapture fools to kings, and exist without a peer, put on this Earth for many things, but our love is why you’re here.”
That’s the clip. That’s what has everyone in their feelings.
Fans Are Obsessed With Myles Garrett’s Romance
The comment sections across social media left no room for ambiguity — people are deeply invested in this couple.
“i’m glad the rest of the world has decided to join me in the myles and chloe fan club. this is the content my heart needs!!” one user commented under Sports Illustrated’s Instagram video.
“Myles Garrett seems to truly adore Chloe. How wonderful. What an inspiring couple,” another wrote.
Here’s a guy who dominates on the field every Sunday talking openly about love, poetry and the person who inspires him most, without a shred of self-consciousness. That’s why it resonated far beyond sports.
Pokémon Rivals and Photography Partners
What makes Garrett and Kim even more endearing is how normal their downtime sounds. Earlier in the interview, Garrett described himself as a big gamer — and it’s something he shares with Kim.
“Me and Chloe, we play a lot of Pokémon,” he said, adding that she’s trying to build a better team than him. “So, that is one thing we share, especially when we travel.”
One of the most dominant defenders in NFL history and a two-time Olympic gold medalist spend their free time trying to out-team each other in Pokémon.
Garrett also talked about his love of photography, a hobby he picked up 6-7 years ago while traveling. His favorite subject? His girlfriend.
“You only get better and better, but I think the pictures I take of Chloe are pretty good,” he said.
Chloe Kim’s Gutsy Olympic Silver
The interview dropped while both athletes were dominating headlines. Garrett was fresh off his record-breaking season, and Kim had just competed in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy — with Garrett in the stands cheering her on.
Kim dislocated her shoulder and tore her labrum weeks before the Olympics. Despite that, she competed and won a silver medal in the women’s halfpipe event.
She already won gold in both the 2018 and 2022 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang and Beijing, respectively. Adding silver while injured only adds to that résumé.
The post-medal celebration was peak Myles-and-Chloe.
“Seeing them as happy as I was made my heart melt,” she told People of how she felt after winning silver.
“We had dinner and a little celebratory champagne, then my mom [Boran Yun Kim] and I played video games (Pokémon),” she added.
Champagne and Pokémon. That’s a tier of celebration most of us can only aspire to.
A Private Couple Making Very Public Waves
Garrett and Kim have largely kept their relationship out of the spotlight.
They went public at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards in May 2025, according to TMZ. Going public at an anime awards show is a flex all on its own.
They keep things private, but headlines have followed them recently as Garrett traveled to Italy to support Kim during the Winter Olympics. Kim seemed to appreciate having him there as a presence away from competition.
“We don’t really talk about our jobs,” she said of her boyfriend’s company in Italy. “Getting a break from work and just enjoying each other’s company is nice.”
Between a record-smashing NFL season, an Olympic silver earned through sheer grit, a love poem that has the entire internet swooning and a shared Pokémon rivalry, Myles Garrett and Chloe Kim have become the couple everyone is rooting for heading into 2026.
