It is hard for anyone's to fill in the legacy of the former Olympic Gold Medalist. But when Eve Muirhead became youngest to win Women's Curling Championship in 2013, she proved to be the larger than life character.
Scottish Curler Eve is a bronze medal winner of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. Following her father’s professional footstep, The "Ice Maiden" is also famous for her win in European Championship in 2011 in Moscow.

The 28-year-old Scottish player is currently single. Her busy schedules to practice and play Curling have refrained her to get married at least for now. While talking about her relationship status, Eve reportedly explained that she is afraid of having an affair and has most of her to Curling.
After winning the bronze medal at the 2014's winter Olympics, she said that she is single but hinted that she is open for love. As she spoke,
"I am still single and I guess, now the busy time is over, I am going to take time off and enjoy myself."
As of now, she is yet to reveal about her dream boyfriend. Also known as Ice Maiden, she said in 2018 that she had dedicated her life to curling. She also said that she doesn't have time for relationships.
