Simone Biles stepped out to watch her husband, Jonathan Owens, take on the Cincinnati Bengals in a preseason NFL game on Saturday.
Owens, who is heading into his first season with the Chicago Bears after a one-year stint with the Green Bay Packers, is back with the team after jetting to France to support his wife at the Olympics.
Unsurprisingly, she showed up for him this weekend, but fans were shocked to see what she was wearing.
The gymnast controversially wore a jacket bearing the Packers logo, which has generated many negative comments on social media. But that wasn’t all. Biles was also spotted in a walking boot as she came in.
