Cody Simpson shares sweet tribute to girlfriend Emma Mckeon as she competes for Olympic gold: ‘We’re all proud of her’

Olympic athlete Emma McKeon went all out in the swimming pool in Paris.

And now Cody Simpson has paid a touching tribute to his champion swimming girlfriend.

The 27-year-old pop singer took to social media on Saturday to post a sweet nod to Emma’s brilliant career as Australia’s most successful Olympic athlete.

Cody posted a photo of himself posing in a T-shirt with the word “Emma” on it.

There were also several images on display of Australia’s most successful Olympic athlete.

The design on the shirt featured illustrations of Emma, ​​30, in the pool, showing off one of her many Olympic medals.

He captioned the photo “Emma McKeon” and added green and gold hearts.

Cody, who narrowly missed out on qualifying for the Games himself, was in Paris to support Emma in her bid for Olympic gold.

Earlier this week, Emma announced that she plans to retire after the Olympic Games.

Emma won the 4x100m freestyle relay on her first night in the pool, taking her six gold medals to one, beating legend Ian Thorpe.

In total, the lithe beauty has won 12 Olympic medals since 2016.

“We’re all proud of her,” Simpson said on Nine, following Emma’s first major victory in the pool at the event in Paris.

‘She’ll be so humble about it. She’ll never say it herself, but it’s pretty special what she’s done.

“It’s unreal. She had a scorching swim this morning – she really wanted to be in that final and get on that podium.

“I’m so proud of her for making that happen.”

This happened after Cody shared a heartwarming post on social media celebrating Emma’s gold medal.

The singer and Commonwealth Games champion posted a clip of his lady love walking towards him moments after he won gold in the 4x100m freestyle.

The couple embraced warmly, after which the two lovebirds exchanged a passionate kiss.

Cody looked completely in love as he walked up to his girlfriend, the world champion, before they met in public in front of thousands of spectators.

He provided the images with a few kind words.

“What a night. No words to express my pride, you Olympic champion,” he said.

The couple made their relationship official on Instagram in July 2022, three months after they began secretly dating.

Last year, Emma and Cody celebrated purchasing their first home together.

The couple splashed out $1.826 million on a family love nest on the Gold Coast, proving their romance, which blossomed during training for the 2022 Commonwealth Games, has gotten pretty serious.
