The Olympic champion – who previously dated Tiger Woods, PK Subban and Diego Osorio – is said to be ‘getting to know’ the ski racer from Nice

American alpine ski racer Lindsey Vonn has been sparking romance rumours with fellow ski racer Matthieu Bailet.

The Olympic champion, 41, and the French alpine ski racer, 30, were spotted enjoying each other’s company while shopping in SoHo and catching a Broadway show in New York last weekend, per People magazine.

Vonn, considered one of the world’s most accomplished female alpine ski racers, also left a flirty side-eye emoji on one of Bailet’s recent Instagram posts where he is posing shirtless.

A source reportedly commented that the pair were “getting to know each other”, per People. Vonn’s speculated relationship with Bailet comes after the athlete suffered a serious injury at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics in February, where she sustained a complex tibia fracture. However, it seems she is doing much better as she attended the Met Gala on May 4 without crutches.

So who is the new man in Lindsey Vonn’s life? Here’s everything to know about Matthieu Bailet.
