Did Ilia Malinin have an affair with Gracie Gold? Rumours swirl after Milano Cortina 2026

Ilia Malinin is facing heavy online gossip just days after the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. Instead of talking about his eighth place finish in the men’s singles event, fans are asking a very different question, did he cheat, and was Gracie Gold involved? The rumours started when a short nightclub video went viral on X and TikTok.

The clip allegedly shows Ilia Malinin dancing closely with a woman during what many believe was an Olympic Village celebration in Milan. Within hours, screenshots spread everywhere. Soon, people began naming retired American skater Gracie Gold as the woman in the video.Things escalated further when online users claimed that former Canadian skater Nam Nguyen posted messages from a secondary X account. That account allegedly accused Gracie Gold of being unfaithful and directly named Ilia Malinin in cheating claims.

However, there is no verified proof that the account belongs to Nam Nguyen. As of now, Ilia Malinin, Gracie Gold, and Nam Nguyen have not released any official statements.

There is no confirmed evidence of any affair.

Nam Nguyen allegations, Lee Hae-in dating rumours, and Amber Glenn response explained

The situation became even more confusing when Lee Hae-in’s name entered the conversation. Some fans pointed to photos of Ilia Malinin and South Korean skater Lee Hae-in visiting a cat café in Milan. Others mentioned heart emojis exchanged on social media.

This led to fresh dating rumours during the Milano Cortina 2026 Games.Still, many figure skating fans quickly pushed back. They noted that Ilia Malinin and Lee Hae-in have been friends for years. In interviews earlier this year, Malinin described himself as single.Amber Glenn was also dragged into the speculation after another nightclub clip surfaced. Some viewers mistakenly thought she was the woman in the video.

Amber Glenn responded clearly on TikTok, saying it was not her and that she was still competing at the time. She has previously said Ilia Malinin is “like a younger brother.”Online reactions have been intense. One user wrote, “So what I am getting from this is that Gracie cheated on Nam with Ilia who in turn was also two timing Haein and a girl back home all the while.” Another posted, “Damn he had fun in these three weeks.” Others called the drama “typical post Olympics chaos.”At this point, all claims remain unverified. There is no confirmed proof of cheating, no confirmed relationship timeline, and no official accusation from any named skater. For now, the rumours continue online, while Ilia Malinin’s Olympic performance takes a back seat.
