Were Devin Booker and Suni Lee spotted enjoying 'romantic' night out in Paris? Debunking viral tweet
Team USA Olympians Devin Booker and Suni Lee took a photo together in Paris amid the ongoing 2024 Paris Olympics, which was shared by Booker on his Instagram story on Monday.
The photo featured the NBA star's arm wrapped around Lee as they posed for the snap, which some have taken to mean more than just a casual hangout. The snap shared was captioned with a goat emoji, seemingly signifying Lee's status as one of the USA's GOAT gymnasts.
However, there's no confirmation about whether the photo was from a 'romantic' night out, as suggested by a viral tweet.
It would be quite normal for athletes to interact with each other in an event as big as the Olympics.
Devin Booker was previously in attendance along with many other Team USA men's basketball team members as they cheered on for Suni Lee and Simone Biles during the Gymnastics Artistic Individual All-Around event on Thursday. Lee secured a bronze medal at the event, while Biles clinched the gold medal.
Booker raved about the experience as Simone Biles made history with her second all-around Olympic gymnastics title, eight years after her first win at Rio 2016.
"It’s an inspiration to see somebody your age accomplishing things on this stage that have never been done before," Booker said. "She has the GOAT chain for a reason."
Booker also made a vlog of the event and shared the same on Instagram with the caption, "Goat activity".
