In a conversation with People.com, Chiles opened up about the body image issues she had growing up and the self-doubt that came along with it. Talking about her recent appearance on the Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover, Chiles reflected upon being more emotional rather than physical, the transformation from self-doubt to confidence and embracing her body. Jordan Chiles expressed:
"I feel amazing in that I get to finally say that I'm 24 years old. My body changes every single day. As women, we have to go through a lot. We go through our cycles, we go through body positivity, sometimes imposter syndrome."
Chiles further shared her hope of inspiring people to embrace their bodies.
"I get the ability to change and hopefully make everybody embrace the same thing because our bodies are our bodies. Nobody can take that away."
Jordan Chiles is sharing the SI cover alongside fellow gymnast Olivia Dunne, and popular stars like Salma Hayek and Lauren Chan.
