Simone Biles, the world’s most decorated gymnast, stole the spotlight once again ahead of Sunday’s Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers showdown. This time, the 27-year-old superstar wasn’t dazzling fans with flips but showing support for her husband, Bears safety Jonathan Owens.
Love Is in the Air for Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens
Moments before kickoff on Sunday, Biles and Owens were spotted sharing an intimate moment on the sidelines. Biles, already a fan-favorite for her eye-catching game-day style, ditched the controversy surrounding her viral Packers jacket earlier this season.
Instead, she debuted a custom-made Bears varsity jacket to rep Owens as Chicago faced its longtime division rival. It was a welcome sight for Bears fans, who are eager to see the team snap a three-game losing streak and reclaim pride in this historic rivalry.
This public display of affection isn’t new for the power couple. Biles has been a sight for sore eyes for the Bears fans, and her support for Owens during the NFL season is unmatched.

The athlete continues to dominate headlines both on and off the field. This four-part series highlights her return to Olympic greatness after she withdrew from the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, citing mental health issues.
The docuseries also offers a glimpse into her life and partnership with Owens. While Biles makes her legacy in gymnastics, Owens is battling it out in the NFL. Fans hope that some of Biles’ golden magic rubs off on Owens and the team despite the Bears’ last-second loss to Green Bay.
Owens and Biles’ Relationship Timeline
The Bears safety and America’s legendary Olympian are one of the sports’ ultimate couples, blending NFL grit with Olympic glory. Their love story began in March 2020, as the world entered lockdown.
The gymnast and the football safety connected on a dating app. By Aug. 2020, the duo went Instagram official with a cozy selfie captioned, “It’s just us.”
Fans couldn’t get enough of their chemistry, and the pair quickly became a couple of goals. Their bond only grew stronger, leading Owens to propose in Feb. 2022. The couple tied the knot in April 2023 in a private Houston ceremony, with Biles glowing in a tulle dress and Owens sporting a dapper sand-colored suit. A month later, they celebrated their love with a grand destination wedding in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, surrounded by family and friends.
Together, Biles and Owens continue to inspire, proving love conquers all — even the toughest schedules!
