As Biles marked her birthday on March 14, her husband Jonathan Owen’s heart-warming post got a lot of eyes upon it. However, Biles forgot to share the moments from her precious day on the 14th itself and decided to post about it a few days later. While the late post drew a comment from a fan, her fitting reply was applaudable.

Simone Biles’ love and support for her fans

The gymnastic GOAT has always shown love towards her fans. She always shares her thoughts and feelings for her fans openly. One such incident took place in April 2023, when one fan posted a video of her daughter wearing the Simone Biles × Athleta T-shirt, with the caption, “We love you”. The gymnast re-shared the post to her story with an appreciative gesture.

This wholesome nature of Simone Biles always wins hearts. Except for having so many achievements, the athlete has not lost touch with her fans and leaves no chance to do so even now. Even at the peak of her career right now, her ability to navigate such situations with grace and maturity solidifies her legacy as one of the greatest gymnasts of all time.

Simone Biles‘ 27th birthday celebration went without any fancy colors or glittery hues, as the gymnast shared previously. In the celebration, her loving mood toward her husband, Jonathan Owens, came out to be prominent. Furthermore, the couple’s furry babies, Rambo, Lilo, and Zeus, made the perfect attendees of the simple celebration that night in their Texan abode. However, the most decorated gymnast savored the familiar company entirely after including a few more loving faces from her inner circle in extending the celebration.

Among those faces, the baby Biles made an aspiring attendance at all the love she usually brings. After noticing her niece at the birthday celebration, the ingenue aunt was on cloud nine. Eventually, the aunt, Simone Biles, made her IG fans witness baby Biles’s presence at the simple party.

On March 18, Simone Biles shared an IG story, divulging more about her birthday celebration. But keeping everyone in awe, baby Biles aka Ronni Biles appeared on that celebration spree. The story showed the year-old niece, with a curious gaze towards her aunt, taking her time to taste a snack bar. The pacified aunt could only give out at the moment with an exchange of love. So, the story’s caption remained that way: “cutie girl[emoji]”. Incidentally, Simone Biles’s brother Ron Biles II was also present in the visual. But for little Ronni Biles, Aunt Simone holds a special place. In previous places as well, the gymnast shared certain spectacles.

Since her birth on November 25, 2022, Ronni Biles has claimed the loving lap of her aunt. Moreover, in narrating her first meeting with the youngest member of the Biles family, Simone penned, “My precious little niece made her debut friday. I’m so proud to be your TT & I’m excited to spoil you!” Since then, the bond strengthened between the Biles with a mixture of love and affection. However, the birthday bash went succulent for Simone Biles as well after the gathering of such homebodies. Moreover, a few more special ones came to the fore to make the birthday occasion more than a special one.

Just a few days before Simone Biles’s 27th birthday, her husband Jonathan Owens received his NFL call-out. But this time not from the Green Bay Packers but the Chicago Bears ultimately welcomed the 28-year-old athlete into their squad. Since then, the proud wife has expressed her eagerness to shift to Chicago to witness NFL tussles. Several Tweets have come from her since the contract was signed. In exemplifying the merriment, she once wrote “Also I just love the city of Chicago” on X. Moreover, she also expressed her ethereal love towards the Chicago cuisines. Therefore, Chicago could not stop reciprocating her emotions.

After noticing such titillating fanfare, Chicago Bears’ X-handle pacified Simone Biles’s birthday moment by sending a heartfelt wish. It wrote, “Happy birthday to the newest Bears fan, @Simone_Biles![emoji]” on X for the birthday girl. So in the gathering of loved ones and cherished affairs, Simone Biles’s 27th birthday bash would remain memorable for a long.

The 2020 Olympics silver medalist Jordan Chiles has had numerous accolades on big stages throughout her illustrious career. Along with her own goals, Chiles never forgets to extend her gratitude to the people who have stood beside her during the trying times. On multiple occasions, the 2022 world champion has mentioned that America’s most decorated gymnast Simone Biles is one of her biggest support systems who has helped her across rough patches.

The dynamic duo were national teammates at the Tokyo Games, and while Biles withdrew from the finals, Chiles had to fill in the void as best as she could. Now, days after Simone’s 27th birthday, Jordan once again took to social media to emphasize how her best friend has impacted her life.

In her latest Instagram story, Chiles shared her gratitude for having Simone in her life. “You always have that one person that can change your whole life. And this my friend is you,” stated Chiles with overwhelming emotion, referring to Biles. The accompanying image shows Jordan and Simone sharing a candid moment in a photoshoot. The comment from Chiles came in June last year after the two took on the Olympic team trials for the Tokyo Olympics together. And now, ahead of Paris, her statement has resurfaced.

The IG story of Chiles shares the original post by another Instagram account (Simone Biles Fan Army) which sought to highlight how the explosive duo has evolved but has remained steadfast in their support of each other. “From the World Stage to The Real Life Scene, Jordan Chiles and Simone Biles are Perfect Friends as They are Each Other’s Support System“, reads the caption of the IG post.

Jordan and Simone have gone through highs and lows together multiple times together and have always made sure to cheer the loudest when one of them stepped onto the floor. While Chiles basks in the moment after signing a huge contract deal, this wouldn’t be the first time America’s favorite gymnastics duo looked to each other for emotional support.

Only two days ago, when the country came together to mark Simone’s birthday, Jordan wasn’t far behind. “Happy birthday to my ride or die, my other half, my best friend, my partner in crime, and my big sis!!” sounded Chiles’ sonorous IG story, drawing the attention of the world to her love for Simone. Chiles also didn’t hesitate to bash Biles’ critics when doubts cast a long shadow on the latter’s gymnastics career and made sure to make Simone understand that her skills were beyond reproach.

In 2018, when Chiles was pondering the chances of stepping away from gymnastics for good, it was Biles who helped her cast the lingering thoughts aside and make her return to action. Their love of standing beside each other was highlighted once again in an uncanny manner as both Chiles and Biles had to watch the 2024 Winter Cup from the sidelines. Now, with the Olympic team trials around the corner, it waits to be seen if the fast friends can catch the flight to Paris together once again.

The Chicago Bears are welcoming their new star athlete with open arms.

No, not Caleb Williams. We’re talking about the greatest American gymnast in history, Simone Biles, who happens to be married to newly-signed Bears safety Jonathan Owens.

Owens reportedly inked a contract with the Bears worth $4.5 million over two years this week — the perfect Birthday gift for Biles, who turned 27 on Wednesday. The four-time Olympic gold medalist took to social media Tuesday to share her excitement about moving to Chicago.

With 30 World Championship medals (23 gold including six all-around titles), Biles is widely considered to be one of the greatest artistic gymnasts of all time. Her seven Olympic medals ties Shannon Miller for the most ever by an American gymnast. The reigning all-around world champion, Biles is gearing up to compete in the upcoming 2024 Olympics in Paris.

Fans usually aren’t in favor of players moving between the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears.

But one of the greatest Olympic athletes of all-time appears to be thrilled about it when it comes to one player.

The Bears agreed to a two-year deal with former Packers’ safety Jonathan Owens this week. Owens is the husband of star U.S. gymnast Simone Biles.

And while she has some viral moments interacting with Packers’ fans, she’s apparently a big fan of the move to Chicago for practical reasons.
“I’m so excited about not having a connecting flight to go & see my husband,” she said on X with a laugh.
Owens, who will be entering his sixth NFL season, spent his first four seasons in Houston. He thanked Green Bay and Packers fans for their support. Owens had 84 total tackles and a forced fumble last season.
Biles, who is preparing for the 2024 Olympics in Paris, is the most decorated gymnast in U.S. history. She will compete in Michigan in November.

While the Chicago Bears are still trying to figure out their quarterback situation amid Justin Fields’ tanking trade value, the team still made a move on Tuesday to boost its secondary depth.

Let’s just say that one Olympic champion was thrilled with the news.

The Bears agreed to a two-year deal with former Packers safety Jonathan Owens — who is, of course, the husband of star U.S. gymnast Simone Biles. While Owens did face some backlash earlier last season for his comments about not knowing who Biles was initially, the couple has been married for nearly a year and Biles is a regular at his games.

Biles was especially excited that her husband is heading to Chicago. This was her four-word response on Twitter/X.

Owens also thanked Packers fans for the support in Green Bay.

Simone Biles has been lately posting updates of her Hawaiian holiday with her husband and giving away something to drool about in every post. Amid all these, she succinctly expressed her love for a four-legged creature. No, these are not her furry babies. It was the horses that took her heart. So much so that she made her husband, Jonathan Owens, ride on that. But that one outing does not seem to have satiated her love for the equines.

Therefore, Simone Biles embarked on that again. The 4x Olympic gold medalist churned out her childhood cowgirl dream, taking Jonathan Owens on an equestrian adventure one more time. Her Instagram handle remained witness to that.

Jonathan Owens openly declared, “The only person who could get me on a horse ❤️😂”  Many might find it to be a replay of what took place just a few days back in this holiday outing only. On that occasion, expressing her love for equines, Simone Biles’ story expressed her excitement about getting acquainted with a colt alongside the sea beach. As she and Jonathan later rode the horse, the latter came out writing, “She (Simone Biles) got me out here on a horse.” Interestingly, amid this Hawaiian holiday, Biles took time to look into the Rodeo realm while rekindling her childhood love for the horses.

Dreaming of being a cowgirl ever since her childhood, just a few days back, the Olympian wrote a post celebrating Kortnee Solomon’s accolade during Women’s History Month. She recently became the first Black cowgirl to compete at the nationally televised ‘Black Rodeo’. Lauding her, Simone Biles wrote, “YES MA’AM 👏🏾👏🏾🤍🤍 go girl go girl!!!!” Alongside, she also revealed her attachment to the horses once again.

That year Rachael Blackmore became the first female jockey ever to win the Grand National Cup in the 182yr history of the sport. Lauding her, Simone said, “Congratulations on a sensational year, last year. It’s wonderful to see women’s sports take such huge strides around the world and you’re an inspiration to many other girls who want to be a jockey or just to achieve their dreams.” Being one of the most successful sportspersons, Simone has achieved enough a lot. However, behind that, a child seems to remain till now. The Hawaiian outing successfully brought that out.

In the realm of gymnastics, few figures radiate as brilliantly as Simone Biles. A pioneer and a beacon of inspiration for numerous budding athletes, Biles has reshaped the landscape of the sport through her unparalleled skill and unwavering resolve. Most recently, Lydia Dimmick, a budding gymnast from Curwensville Area Elementary School, was bestowed with the rare chance of a lifetime: to compete at the esteemed Simone Biles International Invitational held in Texas.
