Since then, Chiles haven't competed in a gymnastics event but added several off-mat experiences and honors in her resume.

She published her first book 'I'm That Girl' in March 2025, and engaged in several brand campaigns. She joined Olivia Dunne, Lauren Chan and Salma Hayek on the Si swimsuit cover and then jetted off to Las Vegas to attend the 2025 American Music Awards as a presenter.

In a recent Instagram story, she enjoyed some time with herself in the kitchen, making some sliders. The plate featured two mini sliders, a portion of caesar salad and mashed potatoes.

"Cooked some baby sliders!!!"

Jordan Chiles has been a mental heath advocate, embracing her individualtiy in a sport that often puts athletes in a conventional framework. Chiles also highlighted the importance of looking at life beyond gymnastics and how she deserved to feel the fresh air and quiet and continue to take care of her mental and physical health.

"I am more than my sport. Sometimes, I need moments like this — just me, fresh air, and quiet — to truly feel that. Gymnastics will always be a part of my story. It’s pushed me, challenged me, and helped me reach heights I once thought were impossible. But being an athlete isn’t all I am. I’m also a daughter, a sister, an auntie, a student, a business owner, a friend — and someone learning every day how to care for her mental health just as much as her physical strength. ...."

Chiles competed collegiately at the UCLA, leading her team to a second-place finish at the 2025 NCAA Championships.
