22 february 2026 в 18:13
Alice Liu is now one of the most well-known figures in sports history thanks to her philosophy, hard work, and, of course, the gold medal she won at the 2026 Olympic Games. After she took first place in women’s singles skating, the Oakland, California resident found herself in the spotlight—but fame doesn’t affect her. Nevertheless, new fans are enchanted by Alice, and some even ask if she has a boyfriend and how she feels about relationships in her 20s.
«I really love myself», - the Olympic champion, raised by her single father Arthur Liu and four siblings, told Cosmopolitan in an interview in January 2026. Below, you can find out what else Alice said about dating and how she embraced self-love.
As of now, Alice is not dating anyone and does not plan to seek love. During the interview with Cosmopolitan, she was asked if she has a crush on anyone.
«Oh my god, this is, like, the first time I’m talking about this», - she began. «It's a completely different topic that I’m not thinking about right now. I already have so much love in my life, and there are so many wonderful people around me that I just don’t feel the need to look for anything else».
In this interview, Alice emphasized that she is focused on her relationships with family and friends rather than romantic connections. After all, romantic love is not the only kind of love in the world.
«I really love myself. And my standards are pretty high too», - she explained. «But also my schedule, especially since I started skating again, is quite hectic. If I were to start dating someone, we would both have to make a lot of sacrifices. Right now, it’s not worth building something new. I think when it happens, it will happen».
Adding that «especially now» she chooses «friendship over relationships any day», - Alice said, «I like being alone; I really enjoy it. I see myself being single for a long time».
Now that her Instagram following has surpassed 3 million, Alice is under even brighter spotlight than before. But she has made the commendable decision to mostly stay away from social media
