    11th May 2026 – (Hong Kong) Hong Kong’s Olympic silver medallist Siobhan Haughey has confirmed her relationship with Dutch swimmer Arno Kamminga, sharing a series of affectionate photographs and videos on social media that have delighted fans.

    The 28-year-old freestyle specialist, widely known as Hong Kong’s “Flying Fish”, revealed the romance on Instagram on 10th May. In her posts, Haughey uploaded intimate snapshots and short clips of the couple together, while Kamminga shared a video of them dancing by the seaside under bright sunshine. The pair were seen spinning hand in hand and exchanging smiles, prompting an outpouring of congratulatory messages online.

    Kamminga, 30, is a breaststroke swimmer representing the Netherlands. He secured silver medals in both the men’s 100m and 200m breaststroke events at the Tokyo Olympics. At the same Games, Haughey claimed silver in the women’s 100m and 200m freestyle, making them both double Olympic medallists. Supporters have described the pair as a fitting match, noting their shared sporting achievements and international profiles.

    Although Haughey has seldom spoken publicly about her private life, speculation about their relationship had circulated for some time. Reports last year suggested the two were dating discreetly. Kamminga subsequently relocated his training base to Hong Kong, a move understood to have allowed the couple to spend more time together. He also switched coaches to train under Tom Rushton, Haughey’s long-time mentor, and has frequently posted glimpses of his life in the city.

    Kamminga previously attracted global attention during the Paris Olympics after an on-pool wardrobe moment went viral online, further raising his international profile. With the confirmation of their relationship, the high-profile swimmers have become one of the sporting world’s most talked-about couples, drawing warm wishes from fans in Hong Kong and abroad.
