Skater Piper Gilles' Dual Weddings: A Love Story
4 Feb
Summary
- Piper Gilles married Nathan Kelly in two separate ceremonies.
- Both Gilles and Kelly have experienced significant grief.
- Nathan Kelly was a professional race car driver before photography.
Figure skater Piper Gilles, who competes with partner Paul Poirier, recently revealed intimate details about her marriage to Nathan Kelly. The couple, who first met in 2018 when Gilles brought her Porsche for servicing, began dating that same year and eventually wed. Their journey together was significantly shaped by shared experiences of grief, as both had lost a parent to cancer.
Gilles and Kelly exchanged vows in two distinct ceremonies. The first took place in late 2024, followed by a more elaborate celebration in November 2024. Kelly, who transitioned from a career as a professional race car driver to a photographer and videographer, proposed to Gilles in June 2022.
Their relationship began with an 'effortless' connection, deepened by mutual understanding of loss. Gilles' mother passed in 2018, while Kelly's father died in 2012. This shared vulnerability drew them closer, forming a strong foundation for their relationship.
Gilles and Poirier are a prominent ice-dancing duo, representing Canada in multiple Winter Olympics and selected for the 2026 competition. Kelly expressed his unwavering support for Gilles' skating career, planning to attend the upcoming Olympics.
