    Suni Lee and Devin Booker are known for their incredible athleticism. There is a reason why the USA gymnast and basketball star are in Paris, representing the red, white and blue at the 2024 Olympics.

    However, it appears as if the fans of Lee and Booker are showing off their phenomenal ability to jump and leap to conclusions based on a single photo.

    A photo of the pair of Olympians is making the rounds on social media. Celebrities nowadays can't even post a photo with the opposite gender without fans immediately thinking the two are romantically linked together, and that appears to be the latest case with Lee and Booker.

    Are the two dating? Here is what to know about Lee and Booker and the viral photo at the Olympics.

    Are Suni Lee and Devin Booker dating?

    Lee and Booker took a picture together in the Olympic Village, with the basketball star posting it to his Instagram story on Monday night. That photo sparked a conversation about whether or not the two are dating, with fans immediately jumping to conclusions about a romantic interest.

    It didn't help that the X, formerly Twitter, account NBA Centel posted the image on the platform and said that the pair "reportedly enjoyed a romantic night," which was not true. The account is known for posting misinformation for engagement bait.

    Outside of the photo posted by Booker, there is nothing else hinting that Lee and Booker would be in a relationship.

    Booker, along with other members of USA basketball, have frequented the gymnastics event, supporting their fellow Olympians. The picture seems to just be one American Olympic athlete supporting another American Olympic athlete.

    Booker has a history with "The Kardashians" star Kendall Jenner , who have had an off-and-on relationship over the last few years and were spotted together earlier this year. On the other side, Lee is rumored to have a love interest in another athlete — but it is not Booker.

    Lee is reportedly dating USC cornerback Jaylin Smith . The two have posted pictures in the past, but for the most part, the rumored couple has not been in the public eye much.

    Smith is entering into his senior year with the Trojans. He's been a mainstay in their secondary over the past two seasons, tallying up 37 tackles as a sophomore, along with 75 combined tackles (58 solo, 17 assisted) and one sack in 12 games as a junior.

    Lee is listed at 5-0 on the Team USA website .

    That height is taller than Simone Biles (4-8) but shorter than two of her Team USA teammates, Jade Carey (5-1) and Jordan Chiles (5-3).

    Devin Booker height

    Booker is listed at 6-5 on the Team USA website .

    That height puts him right in the middle of the pack among his United States basketball teammates. He's taller than Stephen Curry (6-2), Jrue Holiday (6-3), Anthony Edwards (6-4), and Derrick White (6-4); shorter than Jayson Tatum (6-8), Bam Adebayo (6-9), LeBron James (6-9), Kevin Durant (6-10), Anthony Davis (6-10) and Joel Embiid (7-0).

    Booker is the same height as Tyrese Haliburton.
