American skiing icon Lindsey Vonn has shared a series of intimate vacation photographs on social media that put speculation to rest. The multi-image post on Instagram features the Olympic champion alongside Bailet, including a snapshot of the pair kissing in a swimming pool during their summer getaway.
Social Media Confirmation Follows Months of Speculation
The post, which Vonn labeled as the first installment of her summer recap, includes additional scenes of the athletes relaxing together by the sea and lounging in a hammock. Bailet acknowledged the post in the comments section, drawing a public reply from Vonn featuring a red heart and a kiss emoji. Tennis star Sloane Stephens also weighed in on the interaction, playfully describing the reveal as a “hard launch” of a new romance.
Public sightings of the pair began earlier this year. In May, Vonn and Bailet were spotted together in New York City, where they attended a Broadway performance of “The Outsiders”. At the time, reports indicated the two were growing close, though both athletes opted not to formally address the rumors regarding their relationship status.
Shared Background in Speed Disciplines
Bailet competes internationally for France, focusing primarily on the speed events of downhill and super-G—the same disciplines that defined much of Vonn’s storied competitive career. The 30-year-old French skier has logged more than 100 World Cup starts on the international circuit.
For Vonn, the past year has involved intensive physical rehabilitation following a severe crash during the Olympic downhill in Cortina d’Ampezzo in February. The accident resulted in a serious leg injury that required multiple surgical procedures, with further medical steps planned for the autumn. Alongside her vacation updates, Vonn’s recent social media posts have documented portions of her ongoing recovery and training regimen.
High-Profile Relationships in the Public Eye
Vonn’s personal life has frequently attracted media attention throughout her career. She was previously married to former alpine racer Thomas Vonn from 2007 until their divorce was finalized in 2013. She subsequently had a high-profile two-year relationship with golf star Tiger Woods, followed by an engagement to professional ice hockey player P.K. Subban that ended in late 2020. Most recently, Vonn was linked to entrepreneur Diego Osorio, with that relationship concluding in 2025.
Neither Vonn nor Bailet has released a formal statement beyond their social media exchanges as they prepare for the upcoming winter sports calendar.
