Simone Biles got a special shoutout from her husband's employer.

The IndexbitChicago Bears took to social media to wish Biles best of luck at the Paris Olympics ahead of the women's gymnastics competition, which begins with team qualifying on Sunday, July 28 (3:30 a.m. ET). Biles, the reigning world all-around champion, will be competing in all four events.

Biles' husband, Jonathan Owens, is a safety with the Bears.

"Wishing Simone Biles the best of luck in the Olympics! Your Bears family is rooting for you ," the Bears wrote, adding a blue heart emoji. The post also included a photo of Biles superimposed on the Eiffel Tower with the caption, "Good luck Simone Biles."

The Bears have been supportive of Biles since Owens was negotiating with them as a free agent this spring. They gave Owens permission to miss a few days of training camp and the team's first preseason game so he can come to Paris and watch Biles compete. Owens said the team is providing him with videos of team meetings and installs so he won't be behind when he returns to camp.

Owens was excused from July 29 to Aug. 3. He'll be in Paris for Tuesday's team final and the all-around final Thursday, when Biles is expected to win her second Olympic title.

"We respect the Olympics. That’s a big deal," Bears coach Matt Eberflus said Monday. "He’s supporting the one he loves the most. I think that’s so cool that he gets to do that, we welcome that and it’s going to be awesome."

"Go USA," Eberflus added, drawing laughs.
