It seems the adage ‘love reigns over all’ holds true even for rivals, in this case, two fierce ice-skating rivals.

Spain’s figure skater Olivia Smart may not have had a Winter Olympics to remember after finishing ninth at Milano Cortina, but she’ll still be going home with silverware in the form of a ring, after former Team USA ice dancer Jean-Luc Baker proposed to her on Valentine’s Day.


Olivia, 28, had competed against Jean-Luc, 32, in the ice dancing event at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics after which the pair began dating.



Jean-Luc broke the news of their engagement via Instagram, with an Instagram post that read: “It’s always been you,” accompanied by a video featuring him proposing to Olivia on the streets of Milan.

According to USA’s PEOPLE magazine, the two had been friends for over a decade, before they began dating.
