Athletes often face a lot of scrutiny and pressure. However, when everyone around the world is looking at you, it can become overwhelming. It’s always great to have a smiling face in the crowd cheering you on. For track and field star Sydney McLaughlin Levrone, her husband Andre Levrone Jr. is her biggest supporter. After winning the gold in the women’s 400m hurdles, Sydney ran to her husband who kissed her and put a literal crown on her head in celebration.

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens will always be at the top of the list. From the football field to the gymnastics mat, the newly married pair never miss a moment to show up for each other. In an episode of Biles’ docuseries “Simone vs Herself,” he admitted to never watching gymnastics before meeting her, but simply being in awe of her work ethic.

Now, as her husband, he has taken interest in the game, understanding all of the ins and outs. Fans even spotted the Chicago Bears player sitting in the stands in his Biles T-shirt next to her parents, Ronald and Nellie Biles, double checking her score to ensure that the judges didn’t make any mistakes. The moment instantly became couple goals.
