Who is Lindsey Vonn's boyfriend, Matthieu Bailet?

Matthieu Bailet is a 30-year-old French alpine ski racer. He is a champion in downhill and super-G events. Interestingly, he hails from Nice, France, and spent considerable time on the international skiing circuit. In fact, he was introduced to skiing much earlier than others because his sister, Margot Bailet, competed professionally before retiring. In turn, he found great success as a Junior skier.

Eventually, Matthieu made his debut at the FIS Alpine Ski World Cup 2016. Since then, he has represented his country at some of the leading competitions, which also include the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. Due to his dedicated and impressive performances in the sport, Matthieu got his first World Cup podium finish in 2021. At the time, he got second place in a super-G race in Australia.

For those who don't know, the speculations around Lindsey and Matthieu's bond first started when they were seen at a diner in New York. Since it was around Mat Gala 2026, there were a lot of paparazzi in the city, who got a glimpse of them in SoHo.

Meanwhile, sources described that they were getting to know each other. However, none of them made any public comment on the rumors. Still, they continued the connection over the summer and spent a lot of time together. In fact, their relationship grew during a challenging time in Lindsey's life. Earlier in 2026, the skiing legend had suffered a major crash at the 2026 Winter Olympics, just seconds into her downhill event. 

In turn, she suffered a complex tibia fracture and an ACL injury. Lindsey underwent surgery and months long rehabilitation to get back. She even revealed that she had to spend weeks in a wheelchair and later on crutches during her recovery phase.
