Simone Biles, fresh off her remarkable performance at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, has now shifted her attention to supporting her husband, Jonathan Owens, as he continues his journey in the NFL with the Chicago Bears. On Sunday, the Bears earned an impressive 35-16 victory, and although Biles wasn’t physically present in the stands, she made sure to show her support from afar.
Owens, playing as a safety for the Bears, contributed to the team’s dominant defensive performance by making a crucial tackle and helping keep the Jaguars’ offense, led by quarterback Trevor Lawrence, from gaining much ground. Despite Lawrence’s best efforts, the Jaguars struggled throughout the game, with Owens and the Bears’ defense shutting down key plays and keeping the Floridians out of the red zone.
Biles may have been absent from the stadium, but her support for her husband was still very much evident. She took to Instagram to celebrate the Bears’ victory, posting a message on her Stories that read, “Bear down baby,” a nod to the team’s iconic rallying cry. This public display of support came just months after Biles faced criticism for wearing Green Bay Packers merchandise to one of their preseason games—a move that didn’t sit well with some Bears fans. It seems now, however, that Biles has fully embraced Chicago football and is cheering on her husband with pride.
Interestingly, the post also hinted at some playful distance between the couple as Biles cheekily urged Owens “not to miss her,” indicating that while the two may be apart for now, they are still deeply connected, both professionally and personally.
The dynamic between Biles and Owens reflects a couple deeply supportive of each other’s careers. Throughout the Olympic Games, Owens was often spotted cheering on Biles from the sidelines, celebrating her victories, and now it seems the tables have turned. Biles is returning the favor as Owens works to make his mark in the NFL with the Bears.
As Biles settles into her role as a Chicago football fan, it will be exciting to see how the couple continues to support one another, especially as their respective careers reach new heights. With the 2024 Olympics behind her, Biles may find herself spending more time cheering from the stands at Soldier Field, now fully immersed in the Chicago sports scene.
