Nathan is just the best thing ever! I don't think there is a false note in his being.

Nathan also appears in the Feb issue of GQ
Haha, an interesting counterpoint to the Vogue photo. Hmm, Nathan's wearing a fancy Omega watch in both the Vogue and GQ pics. Wonder if he has a new sponsor or if he just developed a taste for snazzy watches.

More info on the commercials.
Local NBC Connecticut station aired a feature on Nathan.
Vladimir Litvintsev named Nathan as his current favorite skater.
Last night's Anaheim Ducks game doubled as an Olympic send off for the GPI skaters. Alexa and Brandon dropped the ceremonial first puck while Nathan and Mariah appeared in video messages. So far I haven't been able to find video footage of them.

I've never heard of Vladimir before, but he has great role models in Patrick Chan and Nathan Chen! Also nice to see that the Connecticut local news mentioned Nathan even though he hasn't been there in a while.

Were they his wingmen or something?
It's been awhile, but here's the tea as far as I remember. LOL
Some time around 2017, long before Nam and Keegan were even on speaking terms, the big Canadian bromance was Nam-Roman. They'd hang out together and were "shipped" by skating fans. One time they did an IG live together and during the session Nathan popped in and jokingly wrote, "Invite me to your wedding." Laughter and chaos ensued.
As for Mai's part, she and Nathan both won 4CC that year and I guess that's how they sort of met. Anyway, she visited his training base in California and the two met again at a show in Japan. Both times Nathan uploaded photos of the two of them together on his IG. In the comments of the 2nd photo Nam, in a tit-for-tat, wrote "Invite me to your wedding." More laughter and chaos, but many fans unaware of the previous joke took it to mean they were either a couple, or at the very least Nathan had a crush on Mai. From there the rumor spread like wildfire, especially within the Japanese figure skating fandom, and since then it has became a popular "ship."
It became so popular that it's believed the producers of The Ice in 2018 deliberately made Nathan and Mai partners for one the group numbers, and to this day there are still Japanese fans hoping to see the two of them together in a show or competition.

I didn't know Nathan never won Jr. World's. He was beaten by Nam Nguyen& Pitkeev in 2014, then by Shoma, Boyang & Sota Yamamoto (!) in 2015. What happened to Pitkeev of Russia?
