For Olympic gold medalist Jordan Chiles, the journey to the top of the gymnastics world was paved with more than just talent and hard work. It was built on the unshakeable foundation of a close-knit, fiercely supportive family. From her pastor parents to her four siblings, the American gymnast's success is a true family affair.
The Pillars of Support: Gina and Timothy Chiles
At the heart of Jordan Chiles' world are her parents, Gina Velasquez Chiles and Timothy Clarence Chiles Jr.. The couple, who married in 1994, are both senior pastors at the According to His Word Worship Centre, which they founded together on October 14, 2007. Their spiritual leadership extends beyond the pulpit, deeply influencing their family life.
Gina Chiles, born in New Mexico and raised in Oregon, has been a constant presence in Jordan's athletic career since she began gymnastics at age six. A former property management business owner and author of the children's book Dream Big Little Chick inspired by her daughter, Gina's influence is profound. She even named her daughter after basketball legend Michael Jordan, inspired by the greatness he represented. However, Gina's path has not been without controversy; in 2021, she was convicted of wire fraud related to losses incurred by a client of her property management company.
Timothy Chiles Jr. grew up ministering with his father, evangelist Tim Chiles Sr., and served as a Minister of Music for nine years. He was installed as president of the international outreach ministry Better Life Crusades in October 2011. His support for Jordan was showcased nationally when the pair performed a Viennese Waltz on Dancing with the Stars on October 15, 2025.

A Legacy of Resilience and Triumph
Jordan Chiles' rise to becoming an Olympic gold medalist in artistic gymnastics is a story of triumph over challenges, including racial prejudice. Her mixed Hispanic and Black descent is a point of pride, and her family's unwavering belief has been her anchor. From the stands at every competition to the dance floor on national television, the Chiles family's bond is her ultimate strength. As Jordan herself said of her mother, "She’s literally the life of me... the love and support that she’s given is 1,000 percent out of this world." This sentiment clearly extends to her entire family, the fierce support system behind the champion.
