The powerhouse duo, Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens may have been miles apart lately. But their hearts have remained as close as ever. While Simone was dazzling at the Paris Olympics, Owens was in Chicago, gearing up with the Bears. Yet, he still found ways to cheer her on from afar—even flying out to Paris to stand by her side. And when Simone took to her own Gold Over America Tour, she carved out precious moments to support her NFL husband on game days.
Their love story has become a fan favorite, a blend of mutual support and admiration fans just can’t get enough of. Each shout of encouragement has sparked even more love for this athletic couple who inspires both on and off the field. With her busy 2024 finally coming to an end, Simone was back in the stands supporting her NFL husband.
On November 10, NFL’s official X account shared a heartwarming snap of the power couple, Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens, captured during the Chicago Bears’ face-off with the New England Patriots. The post, adorned with a simple heart and tagged to the lovebirds, showed the duo sharing a kiss as Simone was all smiles in her Bears gear, proudly supporting her NFL star hubby from the stands.
With her spirit unshaken, Simone stood tall, cheering Owens on through every play. However, despite her unwavering support and their shared moment of joy, the game didn’t quite follow the script they had hoped for. On November 10 at Soldier Field, the Chicago Bears clashed with the New England Patriots in a matchup that ended in disappointment for Chicago. Falling 19-3, the Bears now stand at 4-5, marking their third straight loss since their narrow defeat by the Washington Commanders after the bye week.
As if the tough loss wasn’t enough, fans also flooded the comments under the shared photo of Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens, who were captured sharing a loving moment during the game. The NFL community wasn’t holding back. Critics used the comments section to aim their frustration at the couple, adding another layer of intensity to an already challenging day for the Bears.
Fans take aim at Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens
Oh, you heard that right! While Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens were the golden duo of the Paris Olympics and the Gold Over America tour, the vibe shifted this time around. Fans weren’t quite as warm when the couple made an appearance. Some voiced their disapproval. One user even dropped a snarky comment, calling Jonathan “Mr. and Mrs. Simone Biles.” This wasn’t the first time the duo faced negativity. Simone had previously expressed frustration over the backlash Jonathan received after his comment on the Pivot podcast, where he admitted not knowing who Simone was when they met in 2021. Amid the criticism, someone called Jonathan “Mr. Biles,” and now that jibe is resurfacing on social media.
And oh, it didn’t stop there! Another user chimed in, poking fun at the situation, saying, “Isn’t it crazy that football fans just want to see football, especially from the NFL page? 😂 But hey, any chance they get to tag an account with 2+ million followers, you know they’re taking it! 😂” While the NFL’s official page boasts a whopping 37 million followers on X, Simone Biles has her own loyal 2 million strong. But let’s not forget Simone’s feed isn’t just filled with gymnastics glory. She also offers a glimpse into her thoughts, whether it’s sharing her take on politics, a fun Netflix interview, or just giving updates on her life beyond the sport. She’s not shy about bringing her voice to the table, letting her fans in on all the sides of her life.
Reactions just kept pouring in! Even the Detroit Times couldn’t resist chiming in, commenting, “Congratulations on their awesome relationship but I don’t think anyone needed this post 😭” Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens, who first connected on a dating app in 2020, quickly became a fan-favorite power couple. They tied the knot in 2023, capturing everyone’s attention. Their strong bond is undeniable. But fans were left scratching their heads, trying to figure out the connection between their heartwarming moment and the actual game. One fan even quipped, “please go home,” adding to the confusion.
One user couldn’t help but ask, “Who are these two? And what’s this got to do with football?” On one side, you’ve got Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast in U.S. history, with eleven Olympic medals to her name—including four from the Paris Olympics. On the other, there’s Jonathan Owens, a professional football safety for the Chicago Bears, living his NFL dream. While it’s easy to see why JO is tied to the football world, fans were left puzzled by the NFL’s decision to share a sweet, intimate moment between the two.
