NFL star from Arlington Martin watches girlfriend take silver at Winter Olympics
It’s no surprise that Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett would draw attention at a sporting event. The former Arlington Martin and Texas A&M standout just won his second NFL Defensive Player of the Year award.
But he stood out Thursday for merely being a very interested fan.
Garrett traveled to Italy to watch his girlfriend, Chloe Kim, try to pull off a three-peat as the Olympic snowboarding women’s halfpipe gold medalist at the Milan Cortina Winter Games.
Kim, 25, from Torrance, California, ultimately fell just short, adding a silver medal to her golds from the 2018 and 2022 Olympics. Gaon Choi, a 17-year-old from South Korea, passed Kim on her last run to take the gold, and Japan’s Mitsuki Ono won bronze.
The 30-year-old Garrett, listed at 6-foor-4 and 272 pounds, towered over spectators while cheering for Kim on the NBC broadcast and wearing a jacket with Kim’s face on it.
Garrett has earned All-Pro and Pro Bowl recognition in seven of his nine NFL seasons. He set the single-season sack record with 23 in 2025 and has 125.5 career sacks.
