Simone Biles Supports Husband at Bears Game

Simone Biles made a public appearance at Soldier Field on Saturday to support her husband, Jonathan Owens, as he played for the Chicago Bears against the Cincinnati Bengals in a preseason matchup. Just days after winning a silver medal at the 2024 Olympics, Biles donned a jacket featuring Owens' past with the Green Bay Packers, showcasing her pride in her husband’s football career. In a video shared on the NFL’s X account, she enthusiastically cheered, “What’s up Chicago, go Bears.” Biles recently concluded her Olympic journey in Paris, where she secured three gold medals in gymnastics but faced challenges, including a calf injury that raised concerns about her physical condition. Despite these setbacks, she demonstrated remarkable resilience, finishing second in the women’s floor final. Biles wore a walking boot during her post-Olympics interview and again at the Bears game, highlighting her ongoing recovery. Owens praised her determination, likening her perseverance to the grit required in football. The couple, engaged in February 2022 and married the following year, have shown strong support for each other’s careers. Owens was allowed to miss training camp to attend the Olympics, where he proudly wore a shirt emblazoned with Biles' name. During the game, Owens, listed as a backup safety, made significant contributions with five tackles, helping to keep the Bengals scoreless in the first half. He recently signed a two-year, $4.75 million contract with the Bears, marking a significant milestone in his NFL career.
