Simone Biles came out on top at her first gymnastics meet of the season, and her husband was there to see it all.
The Chicago Bears safety was seen proudly cheering on his Olympics gold medalist wife from the stands, rising to his feet following her stellar vault performance.
When asked about her husband’s presence at the meet, Biles told NBC News, “I think this one was a huge thing for him because he hasn’t been in a while.”
“But to hear those girls scream as loud as the fans in the football field, I think it’s something new,” she continued, laughing. “So it’s really exciting to be in both atmospheres.”

They were in a long-distance relationship since shortly after their wedding in Cabo, Mexico, the 27-year-old gymnast said on TODAY Sept. 7, 2023.
“Unfortunately, we’re actually long-distance and we started long-distance like less than a week (after) we married,” she said.
She said her and Owens were newlyweds when he originally signed with the Green Bay Packers and moved to Wisconsin to join the team.
“So, it’s been different,” she said. “But at least we’re both busy and focusing on our respective sports, so it’s been nice and we cherish the moments that we get together.”
