Lindsey Vonn Confirms Romance With Matthieu Bailet

Lindsey Vonn has made her relationship with fellow alpine skier Matthieu Bailet Instagram official. The Olympic champion included several affectionate photos with the French athlete in a summer recap posted Wednesday, bringing months of speculation about the pair into the open.

The carousel included a poolside kiss, seaside photos and other moments from a vacation. Vonn kept the caption brief, calling the collection the first part of her summer recap. Bailet responded in the comments that he was looking forward to part two, adding to the public confirmation.

From spring sightings to an Instagram debut

Reports linking Vonn, 41, and Bailet, 30, began in May after they were seen together in New York. They were photographed having lunch, using the subway and later appearing backstage at the Broadway musical The Outsiders. At that stage, their connection was described as new rather than established.

The latest post changes that picture without turning it into an oversized announcement. Vonn shared the images herself, while Bailet reposted the update to his Instagram Stories. The two athletes have not offered a detailed account of when their relationship began.

A partnership rooted in the same sport

Vonn is one of the most accomplished alpine racers of her generation, with four Olympic medals and a career defined by speed events. Bailet is a French World Cup skier who also specializes in downhill and super-G, giving the couple an unusually direct professional connection.

The relationship update arrives during another eventful period in Vonn’s public life. She has been sharing news about her recovery following an injury at the 2026 Winter Olympics, while the vacation photos present a quieter look at her time away from competition.

Neither Vonn nor Bailet used a formal label beyond what the pictures and their public exchange conveyed. Still, after the pair’s spring appearances fueled dating talk, the post is their clearest acknowledgment yet that the two skiers are together.
