On July 27, the beloved couple attended the U.S. women’s field hockey Paris Olympics match sporting fun looks to support the American team.

Speaking to the Associated Press after the match, in which the U.S. was ultimately defeated by Argentina 4-1, Jason said he and Kylie wanted to “take advantage of” the opportunity to attend the Olympic Games now that he’s retired.

“We love sports, we love competition, we love world events. This is such a unique place where the entire world gets to come together and bond over competition and sports.”

Kylie told the AP she’s “always wanted to come and see (an) Olympic Games,” and when she learned that the United States women’s field hockey team qualified, “it was kind of a no-brainer” for her and Jason to travel to Paris.
