    "Just because we respect the Olympics," Eberflus said, according to ESPN. "That is a big deal. And he's just supporting the one he loves the most. And I think that's so cool that he gets to do that." Eberflus added, "We welcome that, and it's going to be awesome. Go USA."

    Despite receiving full approval from his team, Jonathan faced some challenges along the way. In a joint Instagram post shared by both the football star and NBC Sports, Jonathan mentioned in a selfie video from his airplane seat that his flight had experienced a "slight delay."

    However, he remained positive, assuring fans that everything was "good," and he was on his way to see his beloved wife make history.

    Simone Biles' incredible achievements have not only made her a household name but have also inspired countless individuals around the world.

    In March, Nadia Comăneci, the five-time Olympic gold medalist, spoke about Simone's impact on the sport and beyond. "She is given this opportunity to understand who you are and to break barriers and inspire the new generation," the Romanian-born gymnast, 62, told People. "Every generation needs someone to inspire them, and she is one of them."
