‘Best chapter of my book’

Jordan Chiles recently penned an emotional message for her dance partner, Ezra Sosa, and the other contestants who contested in the recently concluded grand finale of the dance reality show ‘Dancing with the Stars’. The 34th season of the dance reality show concluded with the grand finale held on November 25.

Chiles shared some snaps from her getaway trip to an undisclosed place on a chartered flight, which included the five celebrity pairs that participated in the grand finale. Chiles clicked a few pictures with almost everyone, especially her dance partner Ezra Sosa.

The 24-year-old Olympic gymnast wrote in the caption of her Instagram post,

“Needless to say the best chapter of my book!! I am beyond grateful for each and every finalist our bond we have created and being able to create so many memories! I love you guys so much!!!”

Ezra Sosa immediately responded by writing in the comments section,

“I freaking love you, thank you for giving me the best season ever”

Jordan Chiles and Ezra Sosa scored a near-perfect 89 out of 90, tying second with Robert Irwin and Witney Carson, who eventually won the mirrorball trophy by virtue of audience vote. Despite the loss, Chiles and Sosa finished in a respectable third position.

Jordan Chiles talks about managing college and gymnastics amidst Dancing with the Stars appearance

Jordan Chiles previously reflected on balancing her college studies and gymnastics apart from participating in Dancing with the Stars. The gymnast remarked in an interview on the ‘Good Morning America’ show,

“Honestly, that’s where the athlete mindset come in the play. I believe…the happiest place was being able to walk into the ballroom, and I was like ‘Okay, I get to do something outside the UCLA gymnastics, outside the school, but yes, we are still doing that a 100 percent.’ I’m a full-time college student, full-time college athlete. I represent, you know, being a businesswoman as well, but I think, its really just the dedication. Once I put my mind and grit to something, that’s really where everything shift.”

Jordan Chiles represented the UCLA Bruins at the 2025 NCAA Championships. She led her team to the finals of the championships, where they finished second overall. Chiles also walked along the runway for the Swimsuit edition of the Sports Illustrated magazine this year, along with other sports celebrities like Ilona Maher, Olivia Dunne, to name a few.
