The spotlight has shifted off the ice and onto social media after a viral nightclub video sparked dating rumors involving U.S. figure skaters Amber Glenn and Ilia Malinin.
The short clip, widely shared by fans, appeared to show the two Olympians in a relaxed, late-night setting. Within hours, speculation took off online, with some viewers convinced there was more to the interaction than friendship.
Amber Glenn quickly addressed the chatter.
In a clear response, she shut down the rumors linking her romantically to Malinin, emphasizing that a brief public moment doesn’t equal a relationship. Her message aimed to draw a firm line between social appearances and personal assumptions.
For Malinin — often dubbed the “Quad God” for his record-setting jumps — the attention comes at a time when his focus remains on competition and training. Neither skater indicated that the video reflected anything beyond a casual outing.
But as one rumor quieted, another began to surface.
Fans soon began circulating a separate clip featuring a different Olympic skater in what some described as a more “intimate” moment. The footage, captured by onlookers and reposted across platforms, has now fueled fresh speculation about a potential new romance within the skating community.
No official confirmation has been made regarding the latest rumors. Still, the rapid spread of the clip highlights how quickly athletes’ private lives can become public discussion in the age of smartphones and viral content.
For Glenn and Malinin, the situation underscores a familiar reality: success on the ice often brings scrutiny off it. As Olympic stars, even everyday social interactions can become headline material.
Whether these rumors fade or evolve further remains to be seen. For now, the athletes appear focused on their careers — while fans continue to watch both their performances and their personal lives with equal intensity.
