Team GB's Molly Caudery is on the rise. The Cornish pole vaulter is making her Olympic debut in Paris, and her family and friends are bursting with pride. Leading up to her big moment in France, the 24-year-old Molly has been sharing updates, revealing that she's been training alongside her athlete boyfriend, Joel Clarke-Khan.
The Athletic Duo's Love Story
Joel, a British High Jumper, has made a name for himself after securing victory in the high jump event at the 2020 British Athletics Championships. His Instagram bio also reveals he is signed with FORTE Model Management.
Molly and Joel appeared to confirm their relationship with a joint Instagram post in August 2023. However, the exact length of their relationship remains a mystery.
A Supportive Partner in Sports
Last month, Joel confirmed his unwavering support for Molly at the 2024 Olympics, despite missing out on qualification himself. In an interview with the BBC, the high jumper expressed his initial disappointment at not qualifying but also his excitement to cheer Molly on.
"She qualified, that was a real mood riser for me," Joel explained. "I think she's a real favourite. There could be a potential gold medal there. That's not something I'd ever miss." He emphasized his commitment to supporting Molly, adding, "There are still plenty of competitions after the Olympics, this season doesn't have to be done and dusted for me."
A Shared Passion for Athletics
Joel, one of Molly's biggest cheerleaders, frequently shares posts about her on his social media. The athlete charmingly revealed that he and his girlfriend even train together, sharing a video of them running down a track. "Couples therapy," he joked in the caption.
After Molly's victory in the women's pole vault in Ostrava in May, Joel celebrated her triumph. "YOOO Congrats @molly_caudery, fun day in Ostrava, amazing crowd support," he wrote alongside a celebratory post. He even showed his dedication to supporting Molly, despite not qualifying for the European Championships himself. "Unfortunately I haven't been selected for Europeans despite having the standard, but that's okay! I'll still be out in Rome to support @molly_caudery and Team GB regardless!!"
Beyond the Track: Adventures of a Couple in Love
When they're not competing and supporting each other at various events, both Molly and Joel enjoy traveling, embarking on numerous adventures since announcing their relationship.
In September 2023, Joel gave fans a sneak peek into their trip to Canggu Bali. Later in October, he confirmed that he and Molly had jetted to Indonesia to celebrate his 24th birthday. More recently, the couple enjoyed a romantic getaway in Positano, Italy.
