Olympic gymnastics champion Suni Lee has spoken out for the first time about her rumoured romance with New York Knicks star OG Anunoby, putting an end to months of speculation.
In an exclusive revelation, the 21-year-old gold medallist confirmed the pair's relationship while maintaining they're keeping things "low-key" to focus on their demanding careers.
From Parallel Podiums to Private Romance
The unlikely pairing between the 5'0" gymnast and 6'7" basketball player has captivated fans since rumours first surfaced earlier this year. "We met through mutual friends in the sports world," Lee explained, "and just really connected."
Anunoby, known for his defensive prowess on court, has apparently been equally protective of their private life. "He's incredibly supportive of my training," Lee revealed, "and I love watching him play."
Balancing Love and Elite Sport
The couple face unique challenges maintaining a relationship across different sports and schedules. "When I'm training for competitions or he's in season, we don't get much time together," Lee admitted. "But we make it work."
Fans have noted Anunoby's attendance at several of Lee's recent competitions, while the gymnast has been spotted courtside at multiple Knicks games this season.
What the Future Holds
While neither athlete is looking too far ahead, Lee didn't rule out the possibility of their worlds colliding more publicly. "Right now we're both focused on our sports," she said, "but who knows what might happen down the line?"
The confirmation comes as both athletes prepare for major upcoming events - Lee targeting the 2024 Olympics and Anunoby gearing up for the new NBA season with the Knicks.
