Jordan Chiles is still flipping out over her impact on the next generation.
The Olympic gold medalist revealed that Beyoncé recently told her that her and Jay-Z’s daughter Rumi sees Chiles as a major role model, and that she may have even inspired the 9-year-old to pursue her own career in gymnastics.
“She told me, ‘She does nonstop flips and does all this and is always talking about you,’ and I’m like that’s so crazy,” Chiles recalled of her conversation with Beyoncé—also mom to Blue Ivy, 14, and Sir, 9, with Jay-Z—in an exclusive interview with E! News at the 2026 BET Awards June 28. “So, I think it’s just the impact that I get to give to people like Beyoncé’s children.”
Indeed, gold medals have nothing on a little praise from Queen Bey. As Chiles put it, “I mean, I think it’s just cool that Beyoncé even knows who I am and I’m just like, ‘Oh, my gosh.”
