Jordan Chiles Ignites Fan Frenzy with Empowering Messages Ahead of DWTS Finale: “Pure Joy and Happiness” – Gymnastics Star’s Bold Comeback
As the clock ticks down to the electrifying Dancing With The Stars (DWTS) Season 34 finale on November 25, 2025, Olympic sensation Jordan Chiles is unleashing a torrent of powerful, unfiltered messages that are sending shockwaves through the gymnastics world and beyond. The 24-year-old UCLA Bruins star, fresh off a perfect 30/30 score in the semifinals, isn’t just dancing for the Mirrorball Trophy—she’s reclaiming her narrative with raw confidence, mental health advocacy, and a fierce call to action for fans. From debunking lawsuit rumors to hyping her Beyoncé-fueled freestyle, Chiles’ social media storm is proving why she’s not just a competitor, but a cultural force igniting excitement like never before.

In a candid Instagram post that racked up over 300,000 likes in hours, Chiles clarified her viral “perfect score” comment from the Prince Night semifinals: “For everyone wondering… I meant a perfect 40 in gymnastics terms! Yes, I’ve gotten a perfect score on an event, but not on every event all at the same time. If you think about it, each judge gives a 10 for perfection… same as if I get 10s on each event. Sorry for the confusion everyone!! But truly love each and everyone— it’s crazy to say that I am in the FINALE of @officialdwts ahhhhhh! Pure joy and happiness 🥹❤️” The post, timestamped November 20, 2025, wasn’t just clarification—it was a masterclass in vulnerability, blending humor with gratitude and reminding followers of her elite athletic roots.
Jordan Chiles’ path to the DWTS finale is nothing short of inspirational. The two-time Olympian—gold in team all-around at Paris 2024, silver from Tokyo 2020—faced a gut-wrenching setback last summer when she was stripped of her floor exercise bronze due to a scoring inquiry delay. What followed was a barrage of racist and body-shaming online abuse that tested her spirit. But Chiles rose like a phoenix, channeling that pain into advocacy.

In her November 23, 2025, emotional message to partner Ezra Sosa on Instagram, Chiles poured out her heart: “You made it to the finale and we got a perfect score… And now, my guy, you made it to the finale and we got a perfect score. I’m gonna cry.” Sosa, visibly emotional, replied in a DWTS reel: “I’m gonna get really sad” about the journey ending, highlighting their unbreakable bond forged through early stumbles—like Week 1’s rocky start—to semifinal glory. Their Argentine Tango to Prince’s “U Got the Look” earned unanimous 10s, marking Chiles’ first flawless DWTS score and propelling them past elimination threats like Whitney Leavitt.
Now, as one of five finalists alongside Robert Irwin, Alix Earle, Dylan Efron, and Elaine Hendrix, Chiles is shaking up gymnastics discourse. Her messages emphasize self-care amid pressure: “I’ve been like that my entire life. Now, at 24, I’m starting to realize that life is catching up with me… it’s time to focus on taking care of myself.” Fans are responding with a surge of support, flooding #JordanChiles with stories of personal triumphs, turning the finale into a collective empowerment rally.
Chiles’ latest posts are pure fire—strategically teasing her freestyle routine to Normani’s “Motivation” and Beyoncé’s “Bow Down (Homecoming Live),” a nod to her 2022 UCLA floor routine that scored a perfect 10. “REMINDER that Jordan Chiles is genuinely one of the biggest Beyoncé stan’s out there,” tweeted fan @steeItough on November 21, sharing a clip that went viral with 2,500+ likes. The choice isn’t random; it’s a bold statement of Black excellence, blending gymnastics flair with ballroom edge in a Paso Doble to Rihanna’s “Breakin’ Dishes” for Judges’ Choice and an Instant Dance to “Motivation.”
Her fan call-to-action is relentless: “This is it! Semifinals and @ezra.sosa We Made it! Now we need you! Remember to vote… Text JORDAN to 21523 10x times and then again online!” This plea, posted November 18, has mobilized armies—hashtags like #TextJordan and #ChilesForMirrorball trending with over 1 million posts. Betting odds reflect the buzz: Chiles at +1000, behind frontrunner Robert Irwin but surging as underdog energy builds.
Even drama can’t dim her shine. When rumors swirled about suing DWTS for bias, mom Gina Chiles shut it down on November 24: “That’s just fake news. We’re focused on enjoying this journey!”—a message reposted by Athlon Sports, quashing trolls and refocusing on joy. Chiles echoed this in a fan interaction: “JORDAN FREAKING CHILES JUST REPOSTED MY TWEET… 😭🥹,” amplifying community love.
Chiles’ words are reshaping conversations in gymnastics, a sport long criticized for toxicity. Her posts tackle racism head-on—recalling the “thảm họa” of post-Olympic hate—and champion mental health: “Life is catching up… time to focus on taking care of myself.” This resonates deeply; fans like @britneysgymnast dream of a Simone Biles cameo during “Bow Down,” tweeting: “Can you imagine if Jordan Chiles brought out Simone Biles… bow down bitches!”—a viral fantasy blending icons.
Off the floor, Chiles’ SI Swimsuit 2025 cover with Olivia Dunne cements her as a boundary-breaker, her Boca Raton shoot by Ben Horton exuding confidence. As she eyes UCLA’s 2026 NCAA season—where she helped secure runner-up in April 2025—Chiles’ DWTS run feels like full-circle redemption.
Experts see her as transformative. “Jordan’s blending athletic prowess with emotional intelligence—it’s redefining success in women’s sports,” says sports psychologist Dr. Maya Torres. Her messages? A blueprint for young athletes: Own your story, demand votes, and dance through the doubt.
With a three-hour finale format—Judges’ Choice, Instant Dance, and Freestyle—Chiles faces stiff competition, but her momentum is unmatched. “Do I Scream? Do I Throw Up?” Gina Chiles quipped post-semifinals, capturing the family’s electric anticipation. Odds may favor Irwin, but Chiles’ underdog fire—fueled by messages of joy and resilience—has fans chanting: “LET’S KEEP IT THAT WAY TEXT ROBERT AND JORDAN TO 21523 THIS TUESDAY DO IT COWARD!!!!”
Jordan Chiles isn’t just shaking up gymnastics; she’s rewriting the rules of stardom—one empowering post, one perfect score, one vote at a time. As she steps into the finale spotlight, the world watches: Will her confidence claim the crown? Tune in Tuesday—history awaits.
