Myles Garrett says ‘we play a lot of …’ with lady love Chloe Kim while traveling, and fans are obsessed with their soft side

Myles Garrett is in Italy for the 2026 Winter Olympics, but his idea of couple time with Chloe Kim is not about VIP lounges or velvet ropes. It is about Pokémon.In a recent Sports Illustrated video breaking down “23 personal facts” about his life, the Cleveland Browns defensive end lit up when the conversation turned to how he and Kim actually spend time together on the road.Garrett did not dance around it. He admitted that the most consistent ritual he shares with Kim while traveling is gaming on their consoles and phones.“Me and Chloe we play a lot of Pokémon, so that is one thing we we share, especially when we travel, her trying to build a better team than me,” Garrett said.That line came while Garrett was in Italy supporting Kim during her silver-medal run in the women’s halfpipe at Livigno on Feb. 12. The 30-year-old pass rusher is fresh off breaking the NFL single-season sack record with 23 sacks in the 2025-26 season, yet he is spending his downtime arguing about Pokémon party builds with a three-time Olympic medalist.Kim has backed that story up herself. After winning silver, she told People that the post-event celebration was low key: “Seeing them as happy as I was made my heart melt… We had dinner and a little celebratory champagne, then my mom [Boran Yun Kim] and I played video games.” (Pokémon, if you're curious.)So the travel routine is pretty clear. Long flights, Olympic pressure, a record-breaking NFL season in the background, and their reset button is Pokémon battles in hotel rooms. For a couple that only went public in 2025, it is a specific, very nerdy detail that explains why fans are treating them like their new favorite sports pair.The Pokémon revelation is only part of why the internet has locked in on Garrett and Kim this week. In the same Sports Illustrated feature, Garrett was asked about his love of writing and ended up reading a poem he wrote for Kim.He described his process, then pulled up a piece he had written for her. Kim said off camera that it was “so sweet” and admitted it made her cry. Garrett’s answer was to tease her for crying easily, then he delivered the lines anyway. “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.”Clips of that moment have been everywhere, with fans crowding comment sections to talk about how openly he adores her and how “Myles and Chloe” might be their new favorite sports couple.Kim’s own Olympic storyline adds weight to all of it. She dislocated her shoulder and tore her labrum weeks before the Games, only got back on snow about a week before competing, and still fought her way to silver in the halfpipe. She has been honest about going through a dark stretch mentally before getting to Livigno.Garrett has been visible through that whole run, from showing up in Italy with camera gear to acting as her photographer to posting a Valentine’s Day message calling her the “GOAT” and his Valentine after the medal. This is in the same offseason where his Browns finished 5-12 and missed the playoffs despite his record-breaking season.
