Alysa Liu’s love life is suddenly getting as much attention as her medals. The 20 year old Team USA figure skater, who won two gold medals at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan, is now at the center of dating rumors with hyperpop singer Glaive, whose real name is Ash Blue Gutiérrez. Fans started talking after the two were seen together in Oakland and began interacting on Instagram. Still, neither of them has confirmed a relationship. The buzz picked up after social media users on Reddit claimed Alysa Liu was spotted at Trabocco restaurant with Ash Blue Gutiérrez shortly after she returned from Milan. Then came Instagram hints. On February 26, Alysa Liu shared a photo showing the bags she brought home from the Winter Olympics. The next day, Sports Illustrated reported that Glaive posted an Instagram Story where a brown bag that looked like Alysa Liu’s appeared in the corner. Earlier, on February 1, he shared a photo wearing a Team USA cap that is usually given only to Olympians. Even with all this, Alysa Liu made it clear earlier this year that she enjoys being single. In her January cover story with Cosmo Sports, she said, “I have so much love in my life already, and I have so many amazing people, I just haven’t felt the need to look for more or look elsewhere. I really love myself. And my standards are quite high, too.” She also said, “If I were to date someone, we’d each have to make tons of sacrifices. It’s just not worth it at this point to build something. I think when it comes, it will. I love being single, I really do. I do see myself being single for a long time. Especially right now, I choose friendships over relationships any day.”
