Simone Biles shows off special painting from unique date night experience with husband Jonathan Owens

Simone Biles and her husband, Jonathan Owens, engaged in painting canvases as they enjoyed a date night in their hometown, Houston. The couple recently also enjoyed a vacation in Belize.

Biles last competed at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she won a silver and three gold medals, becoming the oldest gymnast to win the all-around title since 1952. She also made multiple appearances at NFL stadiums, supporting her husband, Jonathan Owens, as he played for the Chicago Bears. The couple enjoyed plenty of date nights during their stay in Chicago and even took their honeymoon trip to South Africa after Valentine's Day.

Enjoying career downtime, Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens recently experienced a unique date night setup with canvases and paintbrushes, as posted on the former's Instagram stories. The couple unveiled their inner artists at a place in Houston where they are building their new home.

In the first picture, Owens was seen posing with a blank canvas in front of him.

Simone Biles has had great success on the global stage, etching her name as the most decorated gymnast of all time. After her Paris Olympic heroics, the 28-year-old shared that her upcoming plan might not include competing at the Los Angeles Olympics.

“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. I’ve accomplished so much in my sport. For me to come back, it would really have to excite me. Whether on the [gymnastics] apparatus or in the stands, I still don’t know that. But 2028 seems so far away, and my body is aging. I felt it in Paris," she said in an L’Equipe interview.

Simone Biles won the Laureus Sportswoman of the Year for the fourth year in 2025. She capped her 2024 season with the Sportsperson of the Year honor.
