Myles Garrett and Chloë Kim turned the 2026 ESPYS red carpet into a public display on Wednesday, July 15, in New York City, where Garrett kissed Kim before the pair headed inside for the show. Garrett, recently traded to the LA Rams, walked the carpet in a white button-up shirt and black dress pants, while Kim wore a dark red gown with her hair half up.
The appearance mattered because it was not just a pose-and-go photo call. Garrett and Kim were interviewed on 's red carpet live stream, with hosts calling them beautiful and Garrett replying, “Thank you, she is.” Kim said she was “so excited to present,” adding that handing out awards was as fun as receiving them. Garrett also said his first nomination felt amazing and that he was hoping for a win.
Garrett’s hand held one more odd prop: a half-eaten green apple, carried through the carpet as if it belonged there. It was the sort of detail that made the moment feel unscripted, even as the couple stayed firmly in the awards-show spotlight. Garrett said he was still getting adjusted to life in Los Angeles after the trade, describing the move as unpacking, moving into a new house and learning a new team at once.
The timing gave the red-carpet kiss extra context. Garrett and Kim were first romantically linked in May 2025 when they attended the Crunchyroll Anime Awards together in Japan, then Kim visited him at training camp in August 2025 and cheered him on through Instagram Stories. By November 2025, she was back on the sideline for him as the Browns played the Las Vegas Raiders, and in February 2026 Garrett traveled to Italy to support her at the Winter Olympics. The ESPYS appearance fit that pattern: they have shown up for each other in public before, and Wednesday’s show simply made that support impossible to miss.
What happened next was straightforward. Garrett and Kim went into the David H. Koch Theater for the 2026 ESPYS, with Kim stepping into her presenting role and Garrett waiting to see whether his first nomination turns into the win he said he wanted.
