Opening up about life with her husband, she shared how getting married has further strengthened their connection, both on and off the ice.
Rather than transforming their relationship, Chock explained that marriage reinforced what was already there: a shared commitment to each other and to their careers. It also deepened their sense of teamwork beyond competition, shaping how they approach life together and support one another in all their pursuits.
Speaking in a recent interview with E!, she stated, “We already had such a deep understanding and bond through skating, but since we’ve been married, I really feel like we just take everything on as partners and champion each other on and off the ice in whatever endeavor we’re pursuing.”
Off the ice, the couple are parents to two dogs, Stella (13) and Henry (9), who often serve as their training partners.
Notably, the couple also won their consecutive Grand Prix Final gold earlier this month, following earlier wins in Beijing and Grenoble. Additionally, the pair has won four silver medals across the Grand Prix circuit.
