Last month, Bilesopened up to PEOPLEabout how her boyfriend, who won’t be able to cheer her on at the Olympics in person due to Japan’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols, has been supporting her throughout her preparations.
“Oh, he’s always so supportive,” she said.
“Even if I wake up in the morning and I’m like, ‘I’m tired, do I have to go,’ jokingly, he’s like ‘Don’t say that! You can do it, this is your dream!'” she continued. “He’s always, always so helpful and making sure I stay on top of my therapy and all of that.”

Added Biles: “He’s the best because he also goes through it [as an athlete], so he knows exactly how it is in the process. It’s been amazing to have him.”
