Jordan Chiles Gives a Sneak Peek Into Her Training As Her Mother Reacts
Chiles has been juggling dancing and gymnastics for much of the 2025 season, as she was one of the celebrity contestants on the 34th season of the show.
Partnered with professional dancer Ezra Sosa, she steadily improved and impressed the judges by blending her gymnastics skills with dance in the ballroom. She soon became a fan favorite and walked home with a second-place runner-up finish from the reality show.
Heading into the upcoming collegiate season with UCLA, Chiles was seen honing her skills on the uneven bars, setting the foundation for the 2026 season. It will be her final year at UCLA, and she is aiming for nothing less than a top finish.
Her mother, Gina Chiles, her strongest support system, shared her support for her daughter in the comment section, writing:
“Let’s GOOOOOO!!!!!”
Chiles was part of the US women’s gymnastics team at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Headlined by Simone Biles, the squad achieved the gold podium after shyly missing out on it at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
Jordan Chiles Shares a Valuable Message for Parents, Drawing Inspiration From Her Mother and Father
Chiles had suffered from ADHD in her childhood years, making it difficult for her to focus and sit still in traditional classroom settings. Her parents figured that she functioned best if her activities were highly physical. They put her in gymnastics, encouraging her to channel her energy on the mat.
In a recent interview, the 24-year-old addressed the issue of parents trying to limit their children’s expression of energetic behavior. She instead suggested that they find ways to help their children channel that liveliness in meaningful ways. The two-time Olympic medalist also expressed gratitude toward her parents, who never tried to contain her energy.
Chiles made several off‑mat appearances during the Olympic year and in 2025. She debuted as the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover girl, graced the New York Fashion Week red carpet, and became one of the leading faces of Nike, endorsing the brand through her outfits.
