Jonathan Owens had quite the upgrade from his time with the Green Bay Packers. Coming to the Chicago Bears, Owens has signed a 2-year contract that promises him a whopping amount of $4,750,000. And doing quite the justice to his pedigree, Owens started the season off in phenomenal form. In his debut game against the Titans, Owens returned a blocked punt 21 yards for an impeccable touchdown. And while Owens was being celebrated by his teammates, he was also cheered from the stands by his wife, Simone Biles.
Who Is Simone Biles?
Jonathan Owens and Simone Biles crossed paths on each other on the dating app, Raya. They initially met during the covid era, after which, love blossomed significantly between the two. Come April 2023, Biles and Owens tied the knot in a courthouse in Houston, Texas. Now, speaking about Biles, in one word, she is the gymnastics GOAT!
With Paris being her third Olympics on the trot, Biles has a whopping 7 Olympic gold medals to her name. This is all the more remarkable as she had to opt out of the Tokyo Games due to her complications with ‘twisties’. Being termed as a ‘quitter’, Biles seemed down and out to the world. However, her immense grit and determination, coupled with Jonathan Owens’ care, made her qualify for Paris.

Still, at 27-year-old, Biles was termed as an ‘old’ gymnast. But she proved everyone wrong as the US gymnastics queen went on to win the all-around gold, along with the Team gold and a gold medal in the vaults. Biles also won a silver medal in the women’s individual floor routine. Meanwhile, despite juggling a busy life, Simone Biles never misses a chance to show love and care for Jonathan Owens. Apart from traveling to watch her NFL husband play, Biles also stood up for Owens during a scathing controversy.

“I thought it was hilarious at first, and then they hurt my feelings… And then one night, I broke down and I’m like:‘Why are you guys talking about my husband like this? Like, you don’t know him. You don’t know who he is. And if anybody’s met him, they know he’s the sweetest guy and will do anything for anybody,’” said Biles. Thus, playing a perfect family woman, Simone Biles not only shines on the gymnastics mat but also ensures that her family is always smiling.
