On Wednesday, the 41-year-old Olympian let the love bomb explode with a new Instagram post.

Featuring several photos from her trip to France, Vonn confirmed her romance with Bailet, who, like her, is a downhill skier.

After a bit of swiping, her followers even got to see some steamy kissing pictures of the two in a pool.

Her fans quickly flooded the comments with praise of her new romance and stunning summer getaway.

Among the comments was Vonn's man himself!

"Can't wait to see the summer recap part 2," the 30-year-old wrote with a wink.

When the two first began dating is unknown, but they're said to have met about six months ago for their first date in New York.

Romance rumors first emerged publicly in May.

The new love likely gave Vonn a lot of strength during a difficult period. After suffering an ACL tear shortly before the Olympics, she still competed at the Winter Olympics earlier this year, where she severely injured herself in a horrific crash.

What initially seemed like the end of a career could eventually become the most spectacular comeback the ski world has ever seen.

But her road to recovery is still a long one. For now, she's clearly been enjoying the summer in France with her new love!

Bailet isn't as accomplished as the multiple world champion and 2010 Vancouver downhill Olympic gold medalist, but he did compete at the 2022 Games in Beijing.

Vonn has a rocky romantic history. In 2011, her marriage to her trainer, Thomas Vonn, with whom she had been with since 2007, fell apart.

She dated entrepreneur Diego Osorio for four years, was previously engaged to NHL star PK Subban, dated NFL coach Kenan Smith (27), and was also in a relationship with golf legend Tiger Woods.

Perhaps she has finally met the one!
