Dating with Lindsey Vonn

The star skier opened up to the world about their relationship in a November 2016 Instagram post. She was madly in love and could not stop gushing to the world about her new man. From that point forward, she and the former L.A. Rams assistant coach were often seen out together in public, including at the Pirates of the Caribbean film debut and at the French Open in June. Sadly things did not end in a perfect fairy tale for the lovers.

The couple had dated each other for a year until their conflicting schedules broke them up in 2017. One of Lindsey’s close friends told People magazine that things didn’t work out for the couple, “Unfortunately, their busy schedules ultimately took a toll on the relationship. It was amicable and they are still friends. Lindsey is laser-focused on her training for the upcoming Olympics and is leaving the country for several months to start competing.”
