Alysa Liu sparks dating speculation with musician Glaive
Followers of American figure skating sensation Alysa Liu are buzzing with speculation that the 20-year-old may have entered a romantic relationship with musician Glaive, despite recently declaring her intention to remain unattached, reports BritPanorama.
The double Winter Olympic gold medallist has become one of sport’s most prominent figures, generating considerable curiosity about her life away from competition. Recently, a photograph surfaced showing Liu and Glaive together, which has intensified interest among her fanbase.
Speaking to Cosmopolitan in an interview published on 7 January, Liu addressed questions about her romantic life with characteristic candour. “Oh my god, this is, like, the first time I’ve talked about this,” she said. “I have so much love in my life already, and I have so many amazing people, I just haven’t felt the need to look for more or look elsewhere. I really love myself.”
The skater pointed to her demanding training regime as a factor, explaining that any relationship would require significant compromises from both parties. “I love being single, I really do. I do see myself being single for a long time,” she added, emphasising her preference for friendships over romantic entanglements.
Despite her stated preference for staying single, circumstances appear to have shifted recently. On 25 February, the aforementioned photograph of Liu and Glaive was shared online, leading to heightened scrutiny from fans. Both individuals are known to follow each other on social media, reinforcing their connection.
Observers have suggested that their relationship may extend beyond mere friendship, citing social media interactions as potential indicators. This renewed interest is particularly poignant, considering Liu’s recent emphasis on prioritising platonic relationships during her competitive skating career.
On 28 February, Liu shared an Instagram post showcasing herself alongside Team USA merchandise, which did not go unnoticed by her followers, some of whom spotted a brown leather bag depicted in her photo.
Subsequently, Glaive also posted a selfie on 27 February featuring the same distinctive bag in the background, further fuelling speculation about their potential romance. This detail suggests the pair may have been spending significant time together since the conclusion of the Winter Games.
In a world where the lines between personal lives and public personas blur, Liu’s case provides a vivid reminder of how much public interest can sway even the most introspective figures. As the narratives in sports often demonstrate, the personal can become just as compelling as the performance.
