Olympians Jamie Anderson and Tyler Nicholson Expecting First Baby

Anderson, a native of South Lake Tahoe, Calif. completed in her first Olympic Games in Sochi in 2014, winning the inaugural women’s slopestyle snowboarding event. At the PyeongChang Olympics in 2018, she won her second gold medal in the same event, becoming the first woman ever to win two in snowboarding. 

The athlete also received a silver medal in the women’s big air snowboarding event that same year, as well as competed in the 2022 Olympics in Beijing.

Nicholson, who is from Canada, made his Olympic debut in PyeongChang but did not medal. He does, however, win a silver medal at the 2017 Winter X Games’ slopestyle event.

Over the past few years, Anderson has also competed on reality TV, appearing on The Celebrity Apprentice in 2015 and on Dancing With the Stars in 2018.

Anderson and Nicholson have been a couple since 2015, after meeting on a snowboarding trip to Colorado. In January 2022, just before the Winter Olympics in Beijing, they announced their engagement after Nicholson proposed to Anderson on a snowy mountain.

Anderson told People that the couple initially planned to marry next year, but their baby on their way have pushed plans back. “With this surprise, we’re definitely gonna just hold off,” she said, referencing her pregnancy. “There’s no big hurry.”
