Kaillie Humphries has lots of photos to remember the win she and teammate Heather Moyse got at the Olympics this year--though contrary to rumors the pair aren’t dating. Humphries has a husband, Dan Humphries, a fellow bobsledder.
Dan, 34, has competed since 2007 for Canada, previously being a member of the Royal Air Force.
And he actually competed for Great Britain at the 2006 Winter Olympics. He switched after getting married to Kaillie.

The pair met on the World Cup circuit when Dan was in Calgary training.
Humphries told NBC that being marries to a fellow bobsledder has its ups and downs.
“I’ve got my number one support fan with me on tour so that’s really nice,” she said. “On days you need a hug or you a cuddle or you just need time with that person, I’ve got them there. But on the negative side, you’ve got them with you all the time and anybody that’s ever worked with a loved one, it’s hard and it’s got its challenges... He’s the first person that gets dumped on if I had a bad day, a stressful day. And he’s the first person that kind of gets the backlash if I’m really mad at somebody or just general stuff. So it goes both ways, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”
She’s also had an up and down relationship with Moyse, her bobsled partner, as well.
Hymphries was going to compete in the 2006 Olympics with Helen Upperton but injured her ankle before the games. She was replaced by Moyse, something that drove a wedge in the women’s friendship. “It took us a good year to get over it,” Humphries told NBC, adding, “But now we’re the best teammates possible.”
Moyse was paired with Upperton for several years before Moyse and Humphries were paired together starting in 2009.
