"I started skating when I was 4," Maia told E!. "But as I've grown through the sport to get to know other generations of skaters, it just has become a larger family." And the Team USA siblings are taking that family mentality into their partner training as they gear up for the 2026 Winter Olympics—even if it means butting heads occasionally. As Alex noted, "We do have different opinions on things. We do argue." Ultimately, their disagreements help them strengthen their performances on the ice. "The best teams fight, and then the best teams work it out, and they communicate and they grow," Alex said. "We have this special bond that a lot of families experience, but we just get to experience it on the ice."
