“Pictures of us going in for a hug that look like we’re gonna make out? We’re going in for a hug, guys,” Vonn clarified. That’s right. What many assumed to be a peck on the cheek was really just trick photography. “That’s just an awkward camera angle. Never did anything.”
And just to be extra sure that she got her message across, the Olympic ski champion reiterated, “Lewis is 1000% just my friend. He always will be. He’s a great guy but definitely not my boyfriend. Ever. Never. Ever.”

Somehow, on the list of people that Lindsey Vonn has NOT dated, a very young Justin Bieber was also included, along with Former US President George Bush! We’re sure that segment was just for fun. But the holder of four overall World Cup titles certainly has dated a few famous names.
The skiing icon married fellow alpine ski racer Thomas Vonn in 2007 until their divorce finalized in 2013. Shortly after, she began dating golfing legend Tiger Woods, but they split in 2015, citing their busy schedules as the reason, but both are still on good terms.
