Simone Biles, the seven-time Olympic gold medalist, and her NFL star husband, Jonathan Owens, turned heads with a romantic moment at Soldier Field on Sunday. The iconic gymnast, known for her record-breaking performances and inspiring resilience, was present to cheer on Owens, who now plays for the Chicago Bears.
Dressed in full Bears gear, Biles showcased her support by sporting a stylish white hoodie emblazoned with “Chicago” across the front, accented with matching stripes down the sleeves. She completed her sporty look with white leggings and chic black boots. On the sidelines, the couple shared a kiss, a heartwarming gesture that delighted both fans and photographers.
Despite Biles’ enthusiastic presence, the game didn’t go as planned for Owens and the Bears. They faced a tough defeat, losing 19-3 to the New England Patriots. However, the couple’s display of affection highlighted the strength of their relationship amid the pressures of professional sports.
Biles, who recently wrapped up her highly successful Gold Over America Tour after dominating the Paris Olympics this past summer, has been making headlines for more than just gymnastics. In the wake of Donald Trump’s presidential victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, Biles took to social media to voice her concerns about critical issues affecting women in America. Addressing President Joe Biden, she urged him to take meaningful action before his departure from office. “Mr. Biden, I need you to stand up, straighten your back, and make some things shake before your departure,” she wrote on X, adding, “xoxo the women in America.”
The Olympic champion has also been vocal about her unwavering support for Owens, especially in light of past criticism he received for comments about their relationship. Owens had humorously admitted that he didn’t know who Biles was before they started dating, a statement that some fans found surprising. The backlash intensified when he playfully referred to himself as the “catch” in their marriage. However, Biles addressed these remarks in her recent Netflix documentary, making it clear that she stands by her husband.
“Social media gives followers this false sense of reality that they really know who you are and how you function,” Biles explained. “Most of the time, they don’t understand the mental toll it takes, especially in an Olympic year.” She further emphasized the challenges of dealing with public scrutiny, adding, “When you guys are going to talk about him or my family, yeah, I’m gonna come at you. Most of the time, I bite my tongue, but now, I have a voice.”
Through the ups and downs of fame and their respective careers, Biles and Owens continue to show resilience, both individually and as a couple. As Biles enjoys some well-deserved downtime, fans can’t wait to see what’s next for the celebrated gymnast and her beloved NFL star
