Amber Glenn at the Olympics: partner questions resurface as she makes history

Amber Glenn is stepping into her Olympic moment under an unusually bright spotlight — not only for her skating, but also for the personal questions that tend to follow athletes on the world’s biggest stage. With the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics underway, the U.S. women’s singles skater has drawn fresh attention for two reasons: her growing role for Team USA in the figure skating team event and her public identity as part of the LGBTQ+ community.

As fans search for details about her private life — including whether she has a partner and how she describes her sexuality — Glenn’s public record is clearer on identity than it is on dating. What is confirmed is that she has spoken openly in past years about being bisexual and pansexual. What is not confirmed is any current partner.

Is Amber Glenn gay? What she has said publicly

Glenn has publicly described her sexuality using the terms bisexual and pansexual. Those labels indicate attraction that is not limited to one gender, and they are the words she has used in public discussion of her identity.

Whether someone is “gay” can depend on how that person self-identifies. “Gay” is sometimes used as an umbrella term for LGBTQ+ identity, but Glenn’s own public language has been more specific. If you’re looking for the most accurate phrasing, it’s that she is openly bisexual and pansexual.

Who is Amber Glenn’s partner?

As of Sunday, Feb. 8, 2026 (ET), there is no publicly confirmed current partner for Amber Glenn.

In recent Olympic-week interviews and coverage, Glenn has focused on competition, mental health, and advocacy, and she has not publicly introduced a current girlfriend, boyfriend, or spouse. Public-facing material around the Games has not included a confirmed relationship status, and she has not made an announcement about dating during this Olympic run.

There has been past public chatter about a relationship earlier in her career, but it is not part of the verified Olympic-week record and does not establish a current partner.

Why the personal attention spiked during the Games

Glenn’s name surged in conversation during the opening days of the Olympics for reasons that go beyond romance rumors. She has been prominent in Olympic coverage after speaking about LGBTQ+ issues and then describing a wave of hateful messages and threats that followed. The attention has expanded from skating performance into broader cultural debate — a pattern that often leads audiences to dig into an athlete’s personal life, including dating and identity.

Glenn has indicated she intends to keep using her platform, while also taking steps to protect her own wellbeing during the intensity of the Games.

Where she stands in the Olympic figure skating schedule

On the ice, Glenn is a key piece of Team USA’s figure skating effort in Milan. She has been selected to skate a decisive segment for the U.S. in the team event, where every placement can swing medal outcomes.

Her Olympic week matters for two tracks at once:

• Team event points: a direct contribution to the overall U.S. medal position.

• Women’s singles momentum: the team event can build confidence (or add pressure) heading into the individual competition.

The stakes are high because Olympic team figure skating can turn on thin margins — a fall, a popped jump, or even one level lost on a spin sequence.

What to watch next

If you’re following Glenn right now, these are the most meaningful developments to track over the next several days:

• Her next competitive skate and whether she delivers a clean program under Olympic pressure.

• Any official updates from U.S. skating officials related to security and athlete safety after reported threats.

• Public statements from Glenn about managing attention during the Games — which may determine whether she keeps her personal life fully private through the Olympics.

For now, the bottom line on your questions is simple: Glenn has been public about being bisexual and pansexual, while her current relationship status remains unconfirmed in public reporting during this Olympic window.
