When Simone Biles clinched a well-earned gold medal for the Vault finals at the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris, her third gold at the 2024 Games, one key person was unable to cheer her on in the crowd.
The 27-year-old gymnast's husband Jonathan Owens flew back to the United States just before Simone's Vault finals to attend practice for the Chicago Bears.
The NFL player, 29, flew out to Paris last week ahead of the "Golden Girls" team final (in which they clinched gold), and proudly saw his wife secure her second individual all-around gold as well.
While Jonathan couldn't be around to cheer her on in person for the entire duration of the Games (the rest of her family are still there), he couldn't contain his excitement upon seeing her victorious once again.
He took to his Instagram Stories with a tally of Simone's points on the vault and wrote alongside it: "Even on the flight back!!!! Can't miss it!!! Another gold on the way!!!!"
His prediction turned out to be true, and he soon expressed his joy with a post announcing Simone's victory, and wrote: "Another gold! The best ever [goat emoji]." While continuing to praise his superstar wife, he added: "What they gone say now!!!!!"

After she won her second individual all-around gold, he took to his Instagram with a proud declaration of love for his wife, writing: "Greatness! I love you so much baby. You accomplish whatever you set your mind to, and do it with so much grace. 9 time Olympic medalist and counting!!!! So proud to be your husband."
