On March 14, Jonathan Owens shared an Instagram story with a snap. The snap showed the couple seated in a stadium, donning the perfect rodeo outfits. So, did the couple go for a rodeo show on Simone’s big night? Yes, and that too, in the Houston Rodeo. Meanwhile, JO captioned the post with words like, “Happy birthday baby [heart emojis].” Did she like it? Well, Jonathan tried his best. How? Let’s see the turns of the events in the day serially. Jonathan framed everything in his Instagram stories.

Jonathan Owens kicked off the birthday celebrations with a mirror selfie that had fans swooning. The couple wasn’t just serving looks—they were making a statement. Simone Biles, ever the queen of style, rocked a maroon short top paired with crisp white shorts. But the real show-stealer? Her western boots were perfectly in sync with the rodeo vibe. And of course, no cowgirl look is complete without a hat—Simone had that covered, not for the dust or the sun, but to tie the whole aesthetic together. Jonathan, never one to lag, matched his wife’s energy flawlessly. How so? Any description of the scenes?

Dressed head-to-toe in a sleek black—shirt, pants, and a cowboy hat to seal the deal—he exuded that effortless charm. But here’s where the magic happened: his pointy-toed shoes mirrored the exact color of Simone’s boots. Coincidence? Not a chance. The man knows how to set the tone, whether it’s on the field or by his wife’s side.

Maybe. But if there’s one thing Owens doesn’t do, it’s half-measures. The outfits were on point, the chemistry was undeniable, and the real surprise? Well, that was still waiting. The next stories showed the inner atmosphere in Houston Rodeo. The energetic, full of clearings, and the announcement from the loudspeakers! Meanwhile, the 28-year-old gymnast was seen cherishing her time outside a toy store and can you guess what she was holding in her hands?

Nestled among the birthday surprises was something small, soft, and unexpectedly sentimental—a pink piglet plush. Cute? Absolutely. But for Simone Biles, it was more than just a toy. For a fleeting moment, it may have carried her back to a time when stuffed animals weren’t easily within reach when foster care meant making do without little luxuries. But that was then.

Now, Simone stands as a seven-time Olympic champion, a global icon, and a woman surrounded by love, success, and everything she once dreamed of. The past may have shaped her, but it doesn’t define her. This pink piglet? It wasn’t a reminder of what was missing—it was proof of how far she’s come. And maybe, just maybe, a little nod from Jonathan that he sees all of her—the champion, the fighter, and the girl who once longed for something as simple as this. A gift wrapped in nostalgia, love, and a reminder that she now has the world. Talking about nostalgia, did the rodeo vibe make her recall something from the past?

Flashback to March 2022—just after their engagement—when Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens stepped into the rodeo festival looking like they walked straight out of a country music video. The air was crisp, the crowd was lively, and the couple? They matched the energy perfectly in their rodeo-inspired fits, just as they did this Friday. But there was something different back then.

In the middle of all the cowboy boots and country tunes, Simone and Jonathan shared a moment that left Texans both blushing and cheering. With the flick of her wrist, Simone tilted her cowboy hat just right—enough to shield their faces but not enough to hide the fact that they were stealing a kiss on the sidelines. A PDA so smooth, so playful, it was as if they were in their own little Western love story. Since then, the couple has had no shortage of public displays of affection. But have they ever quite replicated that moment? The stolen kiss, the teasing secrecy, the heat of the Texas weather mixed with the warmth between them?

We’ll leave that for you to decide. One thing’s for sure—when it comes to Simone and Jonathan, the romance never runs out of style. And believe us, Simone Biles also left something to make the day memorable.

Simone Biles signs up with her own glee

“yeeeehawwww baby,” Jonathan Owens hyped up the moment, captioning their mirror selfie in his Instagram story. But did Simone Biles leave her mark? Oh, you bet she did.

First, she did what any queen of social media would—she reshared the snap. Not just that one, but also Jonathan’s sweet birthday tribute to her. But Simone didn’t stop there. After all, this wasn’t just a birthday; this was a Texan birthday. And if there’s one thing about Simone—it’s that Texas runs in her veins. To prove it? She let her Instagram do the talking.

First up, a powerful clip from the Houston Rodeo’s opening moments—a rider standing tall on a horse, gripping the American flag, taking a lap around the arena. The moment screamed Texas pride, and the background music? It carried that unmistakable Lone Star soul.

Then came the snippets of pure rodeo fun. Simone and Jonathan, seated in the stands, soaking in the atmosphere—cold lemonade in hand, enjoying the show together. Just a couple of Texans, savoring the simple joys. And of course, the toy story. That adorable play house—a birthday special visit that carried layers of meaning, a quiet nod to her past and how far she’s come. But Jonathan wasn’t the only one making her feel special. Simone’s Instagram story became a digital scrapbook of love, filled with reposts from friends, family, and fans celebrating her day.

It had sister Adria Biles dropping multiple posts for her with beautiful captions. Example? “Screaming happy birthday to my forever built in best friend i love you so much.” The attached snap displayed the two from their initial days, sitting together and enjoying the moment. The story also had Rachel Roettger’s post for her, captioning, “another year around the sun [emoji] enjoy every second of it [emoji] love you xo.” So, from rodeo boots to birthday wishes, from sentimental gifts to Texas-sized moments—Simone Biles made sure her 28th was one to remember. And in case there was any doubt? She’s a Texan girl, through and through.
