They first became teammates in the 2020-21 NCAA season when Miles and Westbeld joined Notre Dame as top high school recruits. Westbeld made waves in her freshman year, averaging 15.2 points and 7.9 boards through 20 games in the 2020-21 campaign. Miles, on the other hand, played just six games for Notre Dame, averaging 9.3 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.5 dimes.

They spent four more seasons together at Notre Dame. Miles and Westbeld also became co-parents to a cat named "Bean Miles-Westbeld." They shared their cat's adventures with their fans, creating an Instagram page for their beloved fur baby.

Miles and Westbeld first appeared on Bean's Instagram page on Jan. 23. The post showed a photo of Westbeld holding Bean while taking a selfie with Miles. They included a short caption for the Instagram post.

"family! my mamas then some of my aunties, uncs, and big cuzzies."

Their basketball careers diverged after the 2024-25 season, with Olivia Miles joining TCU through the transfer portal and Maddy Westbeld moving to the WNBA to play for the Chicago Sky. Miles continued to support Westbeld, though, even showing up at one of the Sky's games.

Miles and Westbeld's fans then got a pleasant surprise when the TCU star posted pictures of them together in an Instagram post.

Former Notre Dame teammate Kylee Watson was delighted to see their snaps, writing, "AND THE HARD LAUNCHHHH IM IN TEARS" in the comments section. She also shared Miles and Westbeld's photo on her Instagram story.
