Simone Biles' husband Jonathan Owens makes Green Bay Packers roster

Over the last month, Jonathan Owens has showed his public support to his wife, Simone Biles, after she reached the top of her athletic profession again.

Now, Biles, the recently minted U.S. gymnastics all-around champion, is returning the favor after Owens made the Green Bay Packers roster.

Despite much fanfare and a hot start to training camp, it wasn't a guarantee that Owens would secure a 53-man roster spot.

But the 28-year-old who signed with the Packers in the offseason is one of five safeties on the team.

World champion gymnast Simone Biles will be watching her husband Jonathan Owens as a member of the Green Bay Packers in 2023.

Biles, the 19-time world champion and seven-time Olympic medalist, took to her Instagram account to offer her support to her husband Tuesday.

She shared the Packers' roster social media card from the team's official account with her 6.9 million Instagram followers that featured Owens' name and accompanied it with a green heart emoji and her husband's No. 34 next to it.

Owens, who started all 17 games with the Houston Texans last season, re-shared Biles' post with the comment: "Keep proving them wrong."

He also wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter: “It’s always a blessing man, I’ll never take it for granted 🙏🏽 Let’s work!!! 🧀🧀 #Year6”
