In a heartwarming display of affection and gratitude, alpine skiing power couple Mikaela Shiffrin and Aleksander Kilde have shared a romantic social media post, showcasing their love and appreciation for each other. This touching gesture comes just weeks after Shiffrin celebrated a record-extending 100th career victory.
Shiffrin, the American skiing sensation, took to Instagram to express her admiration for her fiancé, Kilde, who has been dealing with injuries and recovery. Her post was a beautiful tribute to Kilde’s positivity and spirit, which has been a constant source of inspiration for her and many others.
“[A]bout time for an @akilde appreciation post…This has been a challenging season on many levels, but this guy puts everything into perspective. His positivity and spirit while dealing with his own injuries and continued recovery has been an absolute inspiration for me and so many others. I’m so thankful that I get to hold his love in my heart,” Shiffrin wrote.
Kilde, the Norwegian skiing star, responded to Shiffrin’s post with a sweet message, saying, “It takes two to tango.” Shiffrin replied with several ‘melting face’ emojis and another heart, showcasing the couple’s playful and loving dynamic.
Despite facing injuries and setbacks, Shiffrin and Kilde have remained a source of encouragement and inspiration for each other. Shiffrin suffered an abdominal puncture in a crash in November 2024, while Kilde has missed the entire 2024/25 World Cup season due to injury.
However, their love and support for each other have only grown stronger. As they both eye the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games, their relationship will undoubtedly continue to be a source of strength and motivation for them.
In a world where athletes often face intense pressure and scrutiny, Shiffrin and Kilde’s love story is a refreshing reminder of the importance of mutual support and inspiration. Their relationship is a testament to the power of love and encouragement, showing that even in the face of adversity, two people can come together to achieve greatness.
As the alpine skiing community continues to follow Shiffrin and Kilde’s journey, one thing is clear: their love and appreciation for each other will remain a constant source of inspiration, both on and off the slopes.
