You don’t always have to find a relationship where the person is exactly like you, but it is nice to have things in common. Laurie Hernandez and Charlotte Drury don’t have to worry about having similar passions because Drury is a professional gymnast herself, per US Weekly. In fact, Drury almost competed against her girlfriend for a spot at the 2016 Olympics. Sadly, Drury had injured herself and was unable to attend.
Drury spoke to the Los Angeles Times about breaking her foot as she saw her Olympic dream come to an end. She said, “It was devastating, it still is devastating. There aren’t really any words to describe what it is, but it’s kind of like I lost all my purpose in life. I gave up everything to make this dream happen.” Despite her devastation, Drury was later able to redeem herself when she was named an alternate at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. Hernandez and Drury are both able to say they went to the Olympics. Something that is not common in many relationships.

It’s unclear whether gymnastics is how the two connected in the first place, but it is definitely something they can talk about and relate to one another.
