Myles Garrett gave a sweet shoutout to his girlfriend, Chloe Kim, after she presented him with the ESPY award for Best Record-Breaking Performance.

Kim, 26, presented the award to her boyfriend, 30, alongside comedian Tiffany Haddish at the 2026 ESPYS in New York City on Wednesday, July 15. Garrett, who was recently traded from the Cleveland Browns to the Los Angeles Rams, won the award after an impressive season with the Browns where he set an all-time NFL record for the most sacks in a single season with 23.

“Thank you, baby, for keeping a secret like that, because you definitely knew,” Garrett joked as he began to accept the award. “I want to thank my parents, I know it’s not easy, I can get kind of locked in and focused on my sport, and I know we all try to enter our zone as athletes, and sometimes, the people who mean to the most to us take a bit of a backseat for our journeys that we go on throughout the season, so I want to thank them for always loving me and supporting me in their own ways,” Garrett continued.

The NFL star next said he wanted to thank his brother, former NBA player Sean Williams, his sister, Texas A&M weight throw record holder Brea Garrett, for their support. “I want to thank my brother, my sister — they’re athletes in their own right, dominating their field and they know what it’s like and they know how to support someone who’s going through a lot,” Garrett told the audience at David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center.

“I’m blessed to be on this stage,” he continued, adding, “Most of all, this is an honor, I got a lot of catching up to do with this beautiful woman behind me,” referring to his girlfriend’s impressive five ESPY awards.
