Carey, one of the best elite and collegiate gymnasts of all time, missed a podium finish in the all-around at the NCAA Championships, placing fourth in the finals, despite putting in dominant performances throughout the 2024-25 gymnastics season. Although she couldn’t replicate her season-long dominance in the finals, her consistency saw her win the AAI Award, about a week ago.

Following this heartbreak, Jade Carey’s girlfriend Aimee Sinacola shared glimpses of their time together on her Instagram handle, captioning it:

Jade Carey opened up on how she was going to spend her free-time after her collegiate career concluded, a couple of weeks earlier. She acknowledged that she is still in the process of discovering what the next chapter looks like for her, adding (10:53 onwards):

“Yeah, I think it's definitely part of the process, but I think I want to take a vacation. I'm talking to the girls a lot too. Like, I haven't had more than a week off of gymnastics in probably eight years. So, really taking the time off to really go travel, do whatever I want, hang out with friends um in that time, and yeah hopefully just relax for a little bit and then jump into whatever's next.”

Carey further shared her uncertainty in the interview about her plans for the upcoming summer but mentioned that her dream vacation would be to go to Greece.

However, the 24-year-old added that she’ll probably stay closer to home to spend time with family and friends. Notably, Carey concluded her collegiate career at Oregon State Beavers with four runner-up finishes and two third-place finishes at the NCAA Championships.
