Lindsey Vonn made it official this week, and she did it the way everyone does it in 2026: a summer photo dump. The four-time Olympic medalist shared beach vacation photos on Instagram Wednesday, including one kissing shot with French alpine skier Matthieu Bailet. Her caption read,“About that time for a summer recap… pt 1❤️”
Bailet, 30, was quick to respond. He commented,“Can’t wait to see the summer recap part 2 😉😘,”then reshared her post to his Instagram Stories set to Olivia Dean’s“So Easy (To Fall in Love).”The two first sparked romance rumors back in May, when they were seen together in New York City’s Soho neighborhood and later backstage at Broadway’s“The Outsiders.”
The timing matters here. Vonn, 41, is still recovering from a crash at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy and has another ACL surgery ahead of her. Bailet is a Nice, France native who debuted on the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup circuit in 2016 at 19 and competed at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. Two ski racers, one very public summer recap. Are you here for this Olympic power couple?
