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

Olympic great Emma McKeon has been tearing up the pool in Paris.

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

The 27-year-old pop singer took to his social media on Saturday with an adorable nod to Emma’s brilliant career as Australia’s most successful Olympian.

Cody posted a photo of himself posing in a T-shirt emblazoned with the word ‘Emma’.

It also featured multiple images of Australia’s most successful Olympian.

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

He captioned the picture, ‘Emma McKeon’ and added green and gold love hearts.

Cody, who only just fell short of qualifying for the Games himself, has been in Paris in supporting Emma in her bid for Olympic gold.

Earlier this week, Emma announced her intention to retire at the conclusion of this Olympic Games.

Emma’s 4x100m freestyle relay win on the first night in the pool takes her to six golds, one ahead of legend Ian Thorpe. 

In total, the lithe stunner has collected 12 Olympic medals since 2016.

‘We are all proud of her,’ Simpson said on Nine, after Emma’s first big win in the pool for the Paris event.

‘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 blistering swim this morning – she really wanted to be in that final and get on that podium.

‘I’m so proud of her for getting that done.’

It comes after Cody shared a heartwarming post to social media to celebrate Emma’s gold medal win.

The singer and Commonwealth Games champion posted a clip which captured his sweetheart walking over to him just moments after winning Gold in the 4×100 freestyle.

The pair warmly embraced before the two lovebirds shared a passionate kiss.

Cody looked absolutely smitten as he approached his world-champion girlfriend before they packed on the PDA in front of thousands of onlookers. 

He captioned the footage with some sweet words.

‘What a night. No words to articulate my pride, you Olympic Champion,’ he said.

The couple went ‘Instagram official’ with their relationship in July 2022, three months after they began dating in secret.

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

The pair splashed out $1.826million on a family-sized love nest on the Gold Coast, proving their headline-making romance that flourished during training for the 2022 Commonwealth Games has become rather serious.
