On a recent Instagram story the week after the trials, Chiles posted a picture of flowers. In her caption, she tagged Megan Thee Stallion's handle and wrote, "I'm literally crying [two tearful emojis] friend thank you so much these flowers are beautiful!!!"
The bouquet also contained a short letter from Megan Thee Stallion, which read: "Congratulations On Qualifying For The AHH-lympics! Very Excited To Watch You Shine In Paris And Represent For All The Hot Girls! Megan"
In an interview leading up to the Trials, Chiles said she listened to artists like Megan Thee Stallion and GloRilla for motivation.
“If these girls can slay like this I can slay like them," she said.
The two have also met in person.
