He’s a Canadian-Russian ice dancer who made headlines when he teamed up with Jana Khokhlova back in 2010. Before stepping into the world of competitive skating, he actually worked at Abercrombie & Fitch and even pursued modeling for a while—so fame didn’t come overnight. Over the years, he’s had his fair share of personal milestones too. In 2017, he got engaged to fellow skater Meryl Davis, which was a big moment for fans following his journey. And before that, he was in a well-known relationship with Tanith Belbin, another prominent name in the skating community. Through it all, he’s stayed in the spotlight, balancing both his professional achievements and personal life with grace.
He really made a name for himself during the 1999–2000 season, securing not just one but two gold medals at the Junior Championship. It was clear back then that he had something special—his performance stood out, and people started to take notice of his talent. He wasn’t just competing; he was dominating, and those two golds became a defining highlight of his early career. Over time, he built on that success, but those victories remained a strong foundation. He proved, without a doubt, that he belonged at the top.
