Mikaela Shiffrin's fiancé, Aleksander Kilde, recently shared his hilarious take on Simone Biles and the skier while sharing a selfie of the trio. The Norwegian skier is a two-time Olympic and World Championship medalist.

Kilde has been out of the competitive arena for the last year and a half due to a shoulder injury followed by a dangerous infection that occurred during the crash in the Wengen downhill on January 13, 2024. Although he stayed away from the competitive arena, the skier took a step forward in his relationship by announcing his engagement to Shiffrin, who navigated an unsettled season.

After dominating the first two slalom races, Shiffrin missed four of the 10 events because of the injury she sustained after an accident, causing a fatal crash in Killington, Vermont, on 30 November. The American skier showed great resilience and concluded the season with a win at the World Cup finals in Sun Valley for her record-extending 101st career World Cup victory.

The couple recently posed for a selfie with the legendary gymnast while in LA, where Biles is likely to attend the 2025 EPSY Awards. Kilde shared the selfie on his Instagram story and offered a witty spin by adding goat emojis for Biles and Shiffrin, signifying "Greatest Of All Time," and an Otter emoji for himself.
