GREEN BAY, Wis (NBC 26) -- We know there are a lot of excited Packers fans in Wisconsin right now, but tonight we've got a story of a superfan. In 2019 we introduced you to a Packers fanatic from Australia who last season, managed to attend every single game in person. Tonight, NBC26 shares an update on his journey and how he has found his own superfan in life.

Making it to every one of the Packers games last season was an epic accomplishment for Jaz Singh.

"I'm really grateful, it was an amazing life experience."

It's something Singh says he will be telling stories about for the rest of his life.

"I had such an amazing response, so many great mates. The hospitality was amazing, tickets, donations, places to stay in Green Bay and around America," explains Jaz describing the generosity of fans across the country which whom he met.

But in 2020 the Australian now living in Milwaukee is taking in the Packers season the same way most of us are. Meaning he's watching the games without the company of thousands of screaming fans, which he grew used to.

"I've lived in India, I've lived in England, and Australia and the hospitality of the Packers family is something I've never experienced before."

But Jaz hasn't had to watch the Packer's epic season by himself, the super fan lucky enough to make it to every game last year found someone who supports him as much as he supports the Packers.

"For Jamie's name, can we say the future Mrs. Singh. Is that okay?"

Let me introduce Jamie, the future Mrs. Singh. Jamie is a Wisconsin native who met Jaz through mutual friends when he came to Green Bay. She also is obviously crazy about the Packers.

"Even if I rooted for another team, I'm sure I could have the capacity in my heart to become a Packers fan as well. But you know what, it just happened to already be there."

And while the two of them long to go to a Packers game in person together soon, they both feel pretty fortunate to known they have each other to watch the games with.

"It's a big thing that brought us together and I feel like it's family time now. This is our time together, our family time, it's time we really connect."

This is hopefully just the first chapter of Jaz Singh's journey. A man who traveled across the globe to experience the joys of a Packers season in-person but then lucked out, finding his own personal superfan himself.

"I was able to live my dream last year going to see the Packers, and meet so many great people, and ultimately meeting the woman of my dreams. Deep down I always knew I would end up marrying a Sconi! I'm really grateful I met my number one fan."
