Owens expressed gratitude for the opportunity and vowed to continue proving himself. Biles, a world champion gymnast, will be cheering on her husband as he plays for the Packers in 2023.

Gymnast Simone Biles continues to support her husband, Jonathan Owens, in his football career. Despite being in a long-distance relationship since their wedding in May, Biles made the effort to fly to Wisconsin and cheer for Owens in his first game with the Green Bay Packers.

Sharing her pride for Owens on Instagram, Biles expressed that while long distance was challenging, it was also rewarding.

With Owens now based in Wisconsin, the couple had fewer opportunities to meet. Biles noted that she anticipated seeing Owens during the pre-season football games, acknowledging the hurdles that come with being a professional athlete in a long-distance relationship.

It's a well-established fact that Owens and Biles are ardent supporters of each other's professional journeys. Whenever one of them achieves a remarkable victory, they consistently seize the opportunity to express their genuine congratulations and admiration for each other's accomplishments.

On Sunday, Simone Biles won her eighth U.S. gymnastics championship, setting herself up for another Olympics. Her husband showed support through social media. Biles' performances were praised, with Owens calling her the greatest of all time. He wrote:

"Nobody better."

Biles already holds several world championship records and has the potential to become the most decorated U.S. gymnast at the Olympics.
