Simone Biles came out on top at her first gymnastics meet of the season, and her husband was there to see it all.

The Chicago Bears safety was seen proudly cheering on his Olympics gold medalist wife from the stands, rising to his feet following her stellar vault performance.

When asked about her husband’s presence at the meet, Biles told NBC News, “I think this one was a huge thing for him because he hasn’t been in a while.”

“But to hear those girls scream as loud as the fans in the football field, I think it’s something new,” she continued, laughing. “So it’s really exciting to be in both atmospheres.”

Biles took home the win at the Core Hydration Classic, which also showcased fellow Olympians Suni Lee and Gabby Douglas. The 37-time world and Olympic medalist received a 14.550 on the balance beam and a 15.600 on the vault, the highest score of the night. She also performed an impressive floor routine, featuring a triple-twisting double salto.

After receiving a 14.550 on the uneven bars, Biles was awarded the all-around title at the meet.

Along with following her historic gymnastics career, fans have also been invested in Biles’ personal life with husband Owens.

The Olympic star and the NFL player started dating at the start of the pandemic in 2020, and tied the knot on April 22, 2023.

They were in a long-distance relationship since shortly after their wedding in Cabo, Mexico, the 27-year-old gymnast said on TODAY Sept. 7, 2023.

“Unfortunately, we’re actually long-distance and we started long-distance like less than a week (after) we married,” she said.

She said her and Owens were newlyweds when he originally signed with the Green Bay Packers and moved to Wisconsin to join the team.

“So, it’s been different,” she said. “But at least we’re both busy and focusing on our respective sports, so it’s been nice and we cherish the moments that we get together.”

Legendary gymnast Simone Biles and his husband, Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens, are among American sports’ best-known power couples. Both are successful in their fields and try to make the most of their free time.

Recently, Jonathan Owens secured a significant two-year, $4.75 million deal with the Chicago Bears. To mark this achievement, the couple immersed themselves in the vibrant atmosphere of the Windy City. They expressed their gratitude to the city by throwing the first pitch at Guaranteed Rate Field before Saturday’s White Sox game against the Cincinnati Reds.

Owens and Biles began dating in August 2020, and they became engaged back in February of 2022 and married in April 2023, with Biles dating fellow gymnast Stacey Ervin Jr. between 2017 and 2020.

Simone Biles and her husband have been anticipating their first marriage anniversary on April 22, bringing their love affair to another milestone. The couple has not only been known to go the extra mile with their respective sports and love life but also to shower love off the fields, on high-spirited kids who look up to them as their idols. Recently Owens took a step towards that showcasing his commitment to the sports of football.

The charitable foundation that Jonathan Owens established in 2022 is at the center of this with its kind gesture. The Jonathan Owens Foundation and Owens lately took to social media to announce its annual free camp, trying to give back to society.

Captioned as “It’s that time of the year again! We are excited to announce it!!”, Jonathan Owens lately declared on his Instagram about the third annual Jonathan Owens Foundation free youth football camp and showcase, in collaboration with the Bam Fam Foundation that would be happening soon. A noble cause to young generation footballers to demonstrate their talent free of cost on a reputed platform, the camp aims to give back to NFL fans thereafter.

Scheduled to be held in Christian Brothers College High School in St Louis on June 23rd, 2024 at 9:00 am, the Jonathan Owens Foundation urges the audience to share these details further, register soon, and participate in the camp. The newly joined Chicago Bears safety therefore spreads its another initiative to help inner-city youth by promoting the sport. However, this is not the first time the foundation has taken up such socially responsible activities.

It has not been long since Jonathan Owens started spreading noble gestures to the common public. Simone Biles’ husband has been doing fair in his work with the foundation. His nobility came to the fore with the 2023 J.O Foundation Turkey Giveaway in Green Bay, Wisconsin on the occasion of Thanksgiving. A satisfied Owens had told back then. “It’s always important for me to give back because I wasn’t one of the most fortunate kids growing up either…so I always love to give back.” This thought made him do more.

J.O Foundation also arranged its 2nd Annual Free Youth Football Camp in St. Louis, Mo Summer 2023. Staying connected with the community, the Jonathan Owens Foundation also collaborated recently with Super Cross Live to provide a dope experience for the kids at JO’s former middle school. He has Simone Biles also on this road.

Jonathan Owens recently said he’s “the catch” in his relationship with Simone Biles — despite the Olympian being the most decorated gymnast of all time. And her fans aren’t having it.

Owens, 28, and Biles, 26, both appeared on The Pivot podcast, hosted by former NFL players Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder, in a wide-ranging interview that also discussed how the two athletes met.

In a clip of the podcast released on Tuesday, the Green Bay Packers safety told the hosts he met Biles on the dating app Raya.

“I didn’t know who she was at the time, but like, the first thing I saw was she’s got a bunch of followers, so in my mind, I’m like, she gotta be good,” he said.

When pushed about how he could have possibly not heard of the multi-Olympic gold medalist, Owens said he had been busy.

“When she won the Olympics, I was in college, and we didn’t have NBC. We didn’t have Olympics channels and we’re in camp. We’re in camp in late July, early August,” he said. “So I’m not paying attention…I’m like, ‘Lemme see who this is.’ I never really paid attention to gymnastics, so it piqued my curiosity.”

After Biles messaged him on the app, the two eventually wed in April 2023 in Houston, People reports.

Clark later asked Owens: “So you was really the catch?”

“I always say the men are the catch,” Owens responded.

Owens’ response drew criticism and consternation across the internet — especially as the clip dropped the week Biles was named the Associated Press Female Athlete of the Year for the third time.

“Simone Biles’ husband is a walking red flag,” said one TikToker.

“The way this unknown man sat there and tried to humble his wife, Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast in history, Simone Biles. In the words of Adele, ‘Divorce babes, divorce,'” said another.

One X user went all the way back in Owens’ X profile to dig up a tweet in which he proved he was at least aware of the sport (though Biles didn’t compete in the 2012 Games).

Still, there were some users on social media who seemingly defended Owens, writing: “Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens [are] clearly happy together and they can joke about how they met and initially got together but leave it to total strangers on here to get irrationally invested and upset over his comments about their relationship.”

To be fair, Owens is not the only person to end up dating or marrying someone whom they didn’t realize was famous at the time.

Lena Dunham’s husband Luis Felber said he had to Google her before they went on a date. The singer Lily Allen just thought “Stranger Things” star David Harbour was “a sexy policeman from a reality TV show” because he’d posted a pic of himself in his Jim Hopper costume.

Despite the online backlash, Owens seems to be “unbothered” by the criticism over his comments, or at least that’s what he posted on Instagram on Friday.

“Just know we locked in over here,” he wrote.

Business Insider reached out to Owens for comment on the backlash but didn’t hear back immediately.

Simone Biles brought a little bling to the basketball arena!

The 27-year-old Olympian doubled up on the sequins for a night out with her husband, Jonathan Owens, as the couple apparently caught a Houston Rockets game at the city’s Toyota Center on April 5.

While the Miami Heat ended up handing the Rockets a 119-104 loss, Biles’ outfit was a total win. She teamed a bright red pair of sequined cowboy boots with a white sequined Prada bag. She shared a close-up of both on her Instagram Stories on April 6.

Biles also posted a few other shots of the outfit, including two selfies with her NFL player husband, 28, who opted for ripped biker jeans, a few chains and a matching brown T-shirt to go with his brown sneakers.

Since her boots commanded the room, Biles kept the rest of her outfit relatively simple. She rocked an oversized dark denim jacket, matching denim shorts and a white cropped T-shirt.

This wasn’t the pair’s first time at an NBA game. They previously attended a matchup between the Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers at the Toyota Center on Jan. 29.

Just last month, Owens shared his gratitude for Biles in a heartfelt Instagram caption in honor of her 27th birthday on March 14. The couple has been married since April 2023.

For the special post, the Chicago Bears safety called his wife his “rock” and his “best friend,” and shared 10 images from an oceanside photo shoot in Hawaii.

“Happy birthday to the most beautiful soul, my amazing wife,” Owens wrote. “So crazy to me how life aligns you with the person that you’re meant to be with, you’ve made me a better man in so many ways I can’t explain it.”

“My heart, my rock and my best friend all in one,” he added. “I love you so much baby, this is going to be a special year for you and I can’t wait to support you every step along the way.”

Biles also made sure to show Owens some love in the comment section of the post, writing, “Obsessed with you husband.” The birthday post came just days after Owens signed a two-year contract with the Bears.

Despite being a sturdy Texan resident, Simone Biles holds a special partiality towards the NBA squad of Golden State Warriors. It all comes down to the presence of Wardell Stephen ‘Steph’ Curry II in the number 30 jersey. The blandishing went to a heightened level when Simone wished to babysit Steph Curry’s children, Riley and Ryan, out of joy. That awe still exists in the 27-year-old gymnast.

So, when Curry required special support for an astounding task in the basketball arena last night, Simone Biles appeared. Adding an extra voice of support, Jonathan Owens joined her in the box. With that, multiple goals were achieved last night in Houston.

While Steph Curry’s Golden State Warriors extended their victory run in the arena, the Biles-Owens couple immersed themselves in the box, enjoying the warmth. To make the spent moment a memorable one, Jonathan clicked a selfie with Simone Biles and posted it on his IG story. In the meantime, the athletic couple took a moment to pleasure themselves by noticing the balling prowess of Steph Curry against the home team, the Houston Rockets.

In the same IG story, the NFL safety captured the movements of both teams in the arena. However, the game ended with handing the Golden State Warriors a season-high six-game victory on a trot. But while enjoying her favorite basketball player’s game from the box, for Simone Biles it was one of the rare moments while her husband was with him despite the NFL season taking a start.

Jonathan Owens will handle the safety post being the ‘Chicago Bear’ this time. The practice is already in full swing. In the same IG stories, the 28-year-old NFL homebody added about his balance practices with the squad on a sand-filled ground. In the meantime, he came to Simone Biles to enjoy his leisure time. However, the couple received some good news a few days ago from JO’s previous club.

The rare achievement before starting the new season 

Jonathan Owens’s leaving report from the Green Bay Packers came out of the blue. However, his performance in the last season does not hold a similar stature. Even, according to the NFL, Simone Biles’s husband was eligible to receive the highest performance-based pay from the GBP. So, as per the rules, his earnings went beyond the regular ones from the present lineup.

As per the available report, it is USD 671, 433. It comes after comparing the playtime and the salary, donning the club’s jersey. In that situation, Jonathan Owens earned a big, being the consistent performer in the previous club. That recognition made Jonathan Owens more phenomenal and Simone Biles celebrated the moment in the arms of her husband, spending a shared time.

America’s favorite couple Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens just love to pamper each other, making their fans swoon at their chemistry. Even when things don’t go according to the plans, Biles and her man never fail to stand in each other’s corner to help them across the troubled waters.

With the former Green Bay Packers star signing up with the Chicago Bears this season, Biles took to social media to exert her happiness over the prospect of being able to meet each other more frequently. However, with the Olympics only five months away both the stars’ commitment to their respective teams is still making things difficult.

In her recent Instagram story, Biles shared her husband’s romantic side with an emotional note. “What did I do to deserve this man“, reads the caption of the post with a teary-looking emoji that perfectly captures the feelings of a surprised wife. The accompanying image shows a note from Owens along with two green Gucci packages. “Was in the neighborhood so I got you something I thought you’d like“, the note can be observed to read. “I love you so much. JO“, the NFL star didn’t forget to mention in his note either.

After Jonathan decided to leave the Wisconsin team after only one year, Biles failed to hold back on her excitement of being able to visit Illinois more easily. While some fans urged her to tone down on the celebrations, Biles refused to be swamped by the negativities. And from the looks of it, their bond has gotten only stronger than ever.

While the two are still finding it difficult to spend a lot of time together, their meetings on the go continue to come bearing unexpected gifts making each other’s day. With the duo having a major project in their hands such fleeting moments will only help them to stay motivated with eyes on the prize.

Over the last few months, Biles has been steady in sharing the progress of her lavish new mansion. In February, Biles shared snippets of how the interiors of their home in Houston were coming along adorned with stone and timber. In the recent series of IG stories, Biles also shared more work getting done on the house as she can be seen sorting through materials to find just the things she needs. With meticulous attention to detail, Simone Biles is leaving no stone unturned in crafting her dream home, ensuring every aspect of their home reflects her personal style and taste.

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.

She also added that she’ll love having direct flights to Chicago rather than the layovers trips to Green Bay required.

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.

Simone Biles posted an Instagram story with her husband Jonathan Owens, and her childhood love, the horses. Photographed by Esther, she was seen in a black outfit nurturing her adoration for horses since ever. The two were seen having some cozy moments alongside the horses. Whereas other snaps found them riding the equines in a serene green backdrop. “New Post :)),” wrote Simone in the caption. She also showcased it on an Instagram post. One comment to that caught attention instantly.

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.

“When I was younger I used to want to be a cowgirl so bad & someone told me there was no black cowgirls, so I hung my cowgirl hat up! LOOK NOW WAHOO! GO KORTNEE 🫶🏾 BLACK GIRL MAGIC!!!!” Notably, Simone also lent her voice to a female equestrian back in 2022.

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.

Simone Biles had a spectacular run for the 2023 gymnastics season returning to the mats after almost two years. The 7-time Olympic gold medalist blazed through the US Classics and then the Worlds to announce her persisting dominance. Now having made that clear, Biles seems to be on a well-deserved break and more so, with NFL husband, Jonathan Owen’s off-season run.

Simone Biles has been seen catching up with friends and family well through the last months of 2023. However, the only missing piece in the gymnast’s justified pause was some vacation time with the Packers’ safety. Now with Biles’ withdrawal from the Winter Cup and Owens’ end to the NFL season, a romantic getaway seemed to tick all the right boxes for the couple. Simone Biles teases a getaway with Jonathan Owens

About two days ago, Simone Biles took to her Instagram stories to share a quick glimpse of her tropical getaway. The update involved a walk on the beach with Owens followed by, “Ready to go on vacation again.” Following up with the news, the gymnastics icon today took to social media yet again for a quick sneak into her vacation time. The first of the stories presented an image from a plane window overlooking the ocean and a sea of green mountains below. Expressing her excitement, Biles added little heart eyes and a shy smile indicating happiness.

A couple of glasses of ice-filled drinks and a message for spectators and possibly Owens framed Simone Biles’ stories next. “Prepared to be sick of me,” the gymnast wrote, hinting at speculative vacation spam and loads of excitement. Biles seems to be keeping the destination a secret from the fans as she masked the details in the arrival update that followed. The vacation for the two comes days after Simone’s Valentine’s Day celebrations away from her husband.

A day ahead of Valentine’s Day, Simone Biles’ updates carried moments of cherishable notes, not with Owens but with her girl gang. “Galentines,” Simone’s caption read as the post entailed glittery clicks with chocolate-dipped strawberries, pink drinks, and a mirror reading, “Girls just wanna have fun.” However, while Owens may have missed out on the glamorous party, a warming note for his better half wasn’t lost on him the next day.

“Happy Valentine’s Day to my best friend ❤️❤️ I can’t believe that it’s been 2 years since this amazing day, man does time fly. You’re my rock, I feel like I can accomplish anything as long as I have you by my side…” Owens post read. The busy couple has always been able to balance their professional and personal lives. Marking two years into their engagement, the ambitious athletes are an example of real relationship goals.
