Madison Chock and Evan Bates have been skating partners for over a decade, competing in numerous competitions worldwide and achieving great success. They have won multiple U.S. national champion titles, two world champion titles, and even an Olympic gold medal in 2022. However, their most significant moment came on June 20 when they exchanged vows and got married at the Lanikuhonua Cultural Institute in Oahu, Hawaii.
The decision to tie the knot in Hawaii was to honor Madison’s Hawaiian roots, as the venue is dedicated to preserving Hawaiian culture. The couple first met in Michigan, a hub for ice dancing, where they were both pursuing their passion for the sport. Despite training at different rinks, they crossed paths and eventually formed a successful partnership.
Madison Chock, who hails from California, made the move to Michigan at a young age to transition from singles figure skating to ice dancing. Evan Bates, on the other hand, was a Michigan native and had already achieved success as a world junior champion with his previous partner. When they came together as a pair, their chemistry on and off the ice was undeniable.
Their journey as skating partners has been filled with highs and lows, but their love for each other and the sport has only grown stronger over the years. The wedding ceremony was a celebration of their shared accomplishments and the beginning of a new chapter in their lives together. The couple expressed their gratitude for the support they have received from their fans and the skating community.
As they look forward to the future, Madison and Evan continue to inspire young skaters with their dedication, passion, and commitment to excellence. Their story is a testament to the power of teamwork, perseverance, and love both on and off the ice. Cheers to the newlyweds and may their partnership continue to flourish in all aspects of life.
