In a heartfelt new interview just weeks before the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics kick off on February 6, Norwegian skiing star Aleksander Aamodt Kilde has revealed he’s ready to tie the knot with fiancée Mikaela Shiffrin, declaring: “I feel it’s the right time to get married.”
The 33-year-old speed specialist, who has battled back from career-threatening injuries including a horrific 2024 crash and subsequent surgeries, shared his excitement about their future together while emphasizing focus on the Games first. “Mikaela is the woman of my life,” Kilde said, adding that after chasing Olympic glory, “it’s the right time to celebrate our love with a wedding.”
Shiffrin, the American slalom legend coming off a dominant 2025 season with her historic 100+ World Cup wins, has been Kilde’s unwavering support through his recovery—just as he was hers during her setbacks. The power couple, engaged since April 2024, have hinted at a post-Olympics ceremony, with Shiffrin previously teasing on her podcast that “we’re going to get married—calm down, it’s gonna happen!”
Fans are already dreaming of a fairy-tale event blending Norwegian fjords and American flair, possibly featuring Shiffrin’s favorite Taylor Swift playlist for the reception. “We’ve been each other’s rock,” Kilde reflected, crediting their bond for overcoming adversity.
As both athletes gear up for what could be medal-filled Olympics—Shiffrin eyeing more golds and Kilde targeting podiums in speed events—their love story continues to inspire. Will 2026 bring double triumphs on the slopes… followed by the ultimate victory off them? The world is watching—and swooning! ❤️🏔️
