Olympians Suni Lee and Jordan Chiles Dubbed ‘So Real’ for ‘Relatable’ Reaction to Meeting Mariska Hargitay
Just because they're Olympic champions doesn't mean they don't get as starstruck as the rest of us!
In a video shared to X by the official USA Gymnastics account, Suni Lee and Jordan Chiles can be seen meeting Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay for the first time, and it was clearly a very meaningful moment for the athletes.
"You can't cry!" Chiles warned Lee as Hargitay walked toward them.
The three then shared a hug before trading pins with Snoop Dogg, who also greeted the gymnasts with open arms.

In the comments on the video, fellow fans of Hargitay and Snoop called Lee and Jordan "very relatable" for their reaction to seeing the iconic celebs.
"Suni is so real for this i think i’d burst into tears," wrote one X user, with a second person agreeing that "being starstruck by mariska hargitay is very relatable."
"Okay if I saw one of them I would pass out but both icons? Lorddddd," admitted a third fan.
"Omg! An absolute warranted reaction meeting the GOAT Olivia Benson!" said another commenter.
As thrilled as Lee and Chiles were to get up close and personal with Hargitay and Snoop, Hargitay's children seemed similarly excited to meet the Olympians. Hargitay shared a photo to Instagram featuring Lee and Chiles posing alongside her daughter, Amaya, who wears Chiles' gold medal in the pic.
"Thank you @sunisalee and @jordanchiles for shining your bright, beautiful, Olympian light on my sweetest girl. A mountaintop moment," Hargitay wrote in her caption.
As Today reported, Hargitay was spotted cheering for Team USA in the stands at the all-around final on August 1 alongside her husband Peter Hermann and their three children: August, 18, Amaya, 13, and Andrew, 12.
