When away from the gymnastics mats, be sure to spot Jordan Chiles in the stands at a sports event. Back in February 2025, she went viral for showing up at a Super Bowl Flag Football game and playing as a member of Team Kai. She even caught a difficult throw by quarterback Michael Vick and had that clip going around on the internet for quite some time. But that’s not the only time. Be it attending a US Open Tennis match or showing up courtside at an NBA game, Chiles is an ardent sports lover. And once again, she has proved her love for fashion and sports!
Jordan Chiles is close with many WNBA athletes, especially A’ja Wilson. The two made it to Time Magazine’s Women of the Year list and confessed that they get truly inspired by one another. In fact, when Wilson gave her famous locker room speech after her historic 1000 points in a single season, Chiles said, “I cried watching the video, and I watched it over and over again.” That’s how deeply she feels for WNBA, especially since her mother, Gina Chiles, is a huge basketball fan too. And this Monday, Chiles presented yet another glimpse of her love.
Yes, on June 9, Jordan Chiles was spotted sitting courtside at the WNBA Commissioner Cup game between the Golden State Valkyries and the LA Sparks. When the announcer gave her a shout-out, the 2x Olympic medalist gymnast gave a wide smile, waved, and blew some kisses at the camera! She clearly knows how to steal the show from the sidelines, too!

Jordan Chiles’ surprise twist on the ramp
When Jordan Chiles completed walking down the entire ramp and reached the end, she pointed towards her wait, flaunting a new tattoo that she specially got for this SI Swimsuit honor. “So Jordan Chiles, she got this cute tattoo that she showed off, and it was a string bikini hanging on a clothesline in honor of her first Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover girl moment,” said Blake Lew-Merwin on a recent podcast.
