She is also a rising star in the fashion industry, having signed with IMG Models and appeared in campaigns for brands like Tiffany & Co. and Moncler. But what about her personal life? Does she have a boyfriend? Let’s find out.

Who is Eileen Gu Boyfriend?

According to various sources, Eileen Gu does not have a boyfriend as of now. Eileen Gu maintains a close friendship with Su Yiming, another Olympic medallist. Su is a snowboarder who competed in the Beijing Games and took home gold in the big air and silver in the slopestyle.

The two adolescents had trained together on the slopes since they were young friends. Their relationship transcends sports since they are dual nationals who have both experienced doubts about their allegiance and identity.

Eileen Gu is like Su Yiming’s sister, he said to Olympics.com, and they always support and care for one another. He added that it was a unique feeling that not many people experience while winning Olympic medals with someone. Eileen Gu, who referred to Su Yiming as a legend and an inspiration, also expressed her gratitude and affection for him.

How Did Eileen Gu Meet Su Yiming?

Su Yiming and Eileen Gu were 10 or 11 years old when they first met. They trained together at the same Beijing ski resort and shared a passion for winter sports. They would frequently switch gears and attempt one other’s specialties. They even own a picture of themselves as kids, holding each other’s snowboards and skis.

Growing up side by side, they encouraged and supported one another while sharing the same aspirations to win an Olympic medal. They shared many other characteristics as well, such as their adventurous spirit, love of music and fashion, and bilingual origins.

Where Did Eileen Gu Grow Up?

According to the NYT, Eileen appears to have grown up in San Francisco’s Sea Cliff neighborhood. Living in the same home as her mother is her maternal grandma, Feng Guozhen.

Her bedroom faced west toward the Golden Gate Bridge. The Times claims that Eileen regularly includes her grandmother in her social media posts and short films targeted at Chinese audiences.

Here is where you may get details about the private lives of some of the most well-known figures:

Every Summer, She Spends a Portion of It in Beijing

Eileen is reportedly fluent in Mandarin Chinese and has visited friends and relatives in Beijing most summers, according to the New York Times. She posts on Instagram about how working at a summer camp in Beijing is how she found out Beijing was chosen to host the Winter Olympics.

The caption on the post reads, “I was ‘coaching’ a small Chinese trampoline summer camp in Beijing when we all gathered in front of the TV to watch the olympic 2022 bid.”

“Even then, I was resolute to achieve the two equally ambitious goals of 1) competing in the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and 2) spreading the (then-unheard of) sport of freeskiing in china. Having been introduced to the sport growing up in the US, I wanted to encourage Chinese skiers the same way my American role models inspired me. 9 years ago, I pitched the idea of a freeski competition. The result was the first slopestyle competition in china. Ever.”

What Did Eileen Post on Instagram Regarding Her Decision?

Eileen has already discussed the issue in public. She stated on Instagram that she made a “very difficult decision” to compete for China. She wrote, “I am proud of my heritage, and equally proud of my American upbringings.”

“The opportunity to help inspire millions of young people where my mom was born, during the 2022 Beijing Olympic Winter Games is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to help to promote the sport I love. Through skiing, I hope to unite people, promote common understanding, create communication, and forge friendships between nations. If I can help to inspire one young girl to break a boundary, my wishes will have come true.”

Eileen announced on Instagram that she’s decided to represent China…

Has Eileen Publicly Confirmed Giving Up Her American Citizenship?

Most likely. Eileen has never legally admitted renouncing her American citizenship, according to ESPN. However, China does not accept dual citizenship, and the International Olympic Committee requires athletes to have passports belonging to the countries they compete for.

Since China forbids dual citizenship, CNN reports that the government has asked the public to report individuals who surreptitiously own two passports. A professor of Chinese law at George Washington University Law School named Donald Clarke believes it is doubtful that the government would make an exception for an Olympian. Very few things are an exception to this rule.
