The Thanksgiving holiday saw some extra cheer coming from Olympic gymnast Simone Biles this year. The 26-year-old was enraptured by her husband Johnathan Owens playing against NFC North-leading Detroit Lions. Following the win Simone stood like a rock for Owens whom she married in April after two years of dating. The beloved couple have endured much backlash owing to their professional careers previously.
And after four straight losses, the Green Bay Packers won its game thanks to Owens’s first NFL touchdown. Later, in the holiday spirit fans and Simone joined to celebrate this victory.

Jonathan did so by seizing the ball after linebacker Rashan Gary forced a fumble on Lions quarterback Jared Goff and carried it back to the 27-yard touchdown.
Flying to Wisconsin was just not enough, wife Simone took to her social media to share her happiness on his win. After the NFL shared Owens’s first touchdown clip on Twitter(X), the seven-time Olympic medalist reshared the same with the caption, “THATS MY HUSBAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY MANS MY MANS MY MANSSSSS.”
