Simone Biles' husband, Jonathan Owens, has been playing in the NFL for the Chicago Bears since 2024, following his one-year stint with the Green Bay Packers. He contributed scores to the winning feats of his team and recorded his second career interception and first since 2021 off the San Francisco 49ers' Brandon Allen in Week 14 of the NFL regular season.

Months later, he touched down at his alma mater, the Christian Brothers College High School, to host the fourth edition of his annual football youth camp. Owens engaged with young fans, mentoring and motivating them through various activities, as posted by Simone Biles' husband on his Instagram stories.

"Such a blessing to be able to give back to my community, I dreamt of days like this. D2 -> NFL Never give up boys"

Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast of all time with 30 World medals, was a force to be reckoned with at the 2024 Paris Olympics, adding three golds and a silver to her repertoire. As the oldest gymnast to finish on top since Maria Gorokhovskaya in 1952, Biles has hinted at ending her chances of competing in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. She would rather spend time with her husband, Jonathan Owens, and support him in his career.

“I’m really trying to enjoy life, to spend time with my husband [NFL player Jonathan Owens)], go support him at his games, live my life as a woman. A lot of people think it’s just a one-year commitment but it truly is the four years leading up to the Olympics. It’s in LA it’s back in the States, which is so exciting. But if I’m going to compete again, I’m not so sure.”I’ve accomplished so much in my sport. For me to come back, it would really have to excite me.” (via L’Equipe)

Owens has been a constant supporter of Simone Biles at the Paris Olympics. He even showered love and praises for his wife as the latter received the Laureus Sportswoman of the Year and other honors.
