“Happy 🤍🔐✨💌,” Jade Carey wrote on March 19. That was it: no speech, no headlines, just a caption and a carousel of moments with someone special who said everything. A mirror selfie. A dockside hug. Her Olympic medal is slung proudly as she rides piggyback on someone special. The photos hinted, and teammates like Simone Biles, Suni Lee, and Jordan Chiles didn’t just double-tap, but they also cheered. And now? Fast-forward to April 11: As Carey prepares to compete at the NCAA National Championships, the biggest stage in college gymnastics, that someone special who is also believed to be her rumored girlfriend feels nostalgic. But about what?

Of course, we are here talking about Jade Carey’s rumored girlfriend, Aimee Sinacola. On April 11, just days before Jade Carey would step onto the NCAA National Championship stage, the grandest platform in collegiate gymnastics, someone from her orbit was already making quiet waves of emotion. Aimee Sinacola, rumored to be Carey’s girlfriend, didn’t post a selfie or a video. Instead, she shared a flicker of memory. A single frame. The Target Center. “Some of the best memories here @jadecarey 🤍 can’t believe it was almost a year ago,” read her Instagram story. No explanations. No hashtags. Just nostalgia.

But it wasn’t just that photo. Sinacola, a creative content director with the University of Oregon athletics department, offered a silent storybook across her Instagram stories on Friday. One clip showed her on a jog, weaving through the Minneapolis skyline. The second, though, stopped time at the exterior of the Target Center, the same venue that hosted last year’s Olympic Trials. Was she remembering the moment she watched Carey chase Olympic dreams? Maybe. Maybe not. But the feeling was loud enough.

But what we know is it is the same venue from where last summer, she shared series of photos during her trip. In one image, Carey sits atop Sinacola’s shoulders, both beaming under nightclub lights, surrounded by cheers. Sinacola wears a custom “JADERADD” tee — Jade’s face is printed across it, no less, while Carey clutches joy and closeness with both hands. Another photo had her posing against a backdrop draped in rainbow tinsel with one of her friends. There’s a snapshot of a sign that reads “Duck Duck GAY Duck” and moments with friends donning Olympic-themed gear, everyone unmistakably visibly Team Jade.

And there’s more. In one heartwarming frame, Sinacola appears alongside Jade Carey’s mother, Danielle Mitchell Carey Greenberg. Danielle is in a Navy Team USA tank, and Sinacola wears a Team USA Olympic jacket paired with denim shorts. Last year, Aimee Sinacola stood in the crowd at Target Center, cheering Jade Carey on. And Jade didn’t disappoint! She made the Olympic team again, then soared in Paris to help Team USA win a glorious team gold.

But what about 2025? Well, Jade Carey is doing Jade Carey things again!

Jade Carey looks forward to her latest NCAA Championships Final

Jade Carey is heading back to the NCAA Championships, this time solo, but no less spectacular. The Oregon State senior has individually qualified as an all-arounder for the 2025 National Collegiate Women’s Gymnastics Championships, continuing her streak of championship appearances every season of her collegiate career.

Carey, who was officially named an all-around qualifier for the 2025 NCAA Championships, has been nothing short of dominant this season. Four 10s in her last four meets. Number one in the nation on beam and all-around. And history made, she became the first gymnast in Pac-12 history to win both those events in every regular season meet she entered. That’s 43 event titles across just 11 appearances. Let that sink in.

The Phoenix native isn’t new to this pressure, and she knows how to thrive. As a freshman, she was silver on bars and fourth all-around. The next two years? A beam runner-up in 2023, then all-around and floor silver in 2024.

Now, it’s Fort Worth calling—April 17-19 at Dickies Arena. One more championship. One more chance
