It’s been two years since Jonathan Owens hoisted the Lombardi-sized weight of nationwide attention by marrying the most decorated gymnast on the planet, Simone Biles, but the Chicago Bears safety somehow keeps finding new ways to steal a headline (or two). Over the weekend, his social feeds lit up with fire emojis, fist bumps, and a flood of “Go, JO!” shout‑outs from teammates, fans, loyal gymnastics stans and maybe a few NFL diehards too. So, what’s all the buzz about this time? Is Simone pregnant? A surprise move? Something big behind the scenes?

Well, first things first, no, Simone Biles is not pregnant. But we wouldn’t mind seeing a mini Simone flipping onto the scene one day, right? For now, though, the big news from the Biles-Owens household isn’t baby-related; it’s all about Jonathan Owens. The NFL safety, now heading into his second season with the Chicago Bears, has just landed a new kind of deal… and it has the internet buzzing. But it’s not a flashy NFL contract or another viral couple moment. Instead, Owens made waves with a low-key, high-impact move. So, what’s it?

Well, he is the new face of GoodSport, a clean and natural sports drink trusted by top athletes. In a sun-drenched clip shared by the brand on Instagram, Owens is seen mid-training under the scorching Texas sun, gripping a bottle of GoodSport, with the caption: “Texas heat doesn’t mess around. Neither do we. GoodSport® is clean, loaded with electrolytes, and trusted by athletes like @jowens to stay hydrated when it matters most. Now at @Costco in the Texas region.” Fans instantly picked up on the collab — and the fact that GoodSport just launched its signature 15-packs at Costco locations across the Texas region. So what exactly is GoodSport?

It’s a Chicago-based performance drink, packed with about 1,600 mg of electrolytes, zero added sugar, and naturally powered with B-vitamins. According to PR Newswire, Owens actually started using the product in 2023 and developed a strong relationship with the brand, eventually joining as an official partner. Now, with this latest rollout, his face is front and center, and fans are absolutely loving it. Social media lit up with support, praising his work ethic, clean-living image, and, of course, cheering on Simone Biles’s husband for making yet another power move of his own.

“WOWOW” energy only as Simone Biles’s husband Jonathan Owens is just getting started

“Get it! Good luck with your upcoming season!” That one comment pretty much sums up the energy around Jonathan Owens right now. The man is locked in, fired up, and ready to make waves in his fifth NFL season and second with the Chicago Bears. Last season? He delivered. Owens posted 49 tackles, snagged an interception, forced a fumble, and broke up two passes. Not bad for a guy who’s been quietly climbing the league ranks, proving game after game that he’s not just “Simone Biles’s husband”, he’s a playmaker in his own right.

Rewind a bit and you’ll see the grind: two seasons with the Houston Texans, a solid year with the Green Bay Packers, and now a growing role in Chicago’s defense. Owens has carved out a lane built on hustle, heart, and consistency, and fans are here for it.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Jonathan Owens finally stepping out of Simone Biles's shadow with his latest GoodSport deal?

Have an interesting take?

Another fan added, ‘Amazing!!! 🔥,’” followed by a chorus of “Congratulations” and even a full-on “WOWOW.” Yep, the internet is here for Jonathan Owens’s glow-up. While his NFL grind continues, his off-the-field presence is quietly turning into something major, and fans are taking notice. From partnerships to prime-time features, Owens is steadily building a strong brand presence. He’s teamed up with Hibbett Sports to co-sponsor youth football camps and holiday drives in both Chicago and St. Louis, spotlighting his commitment to community.

He’s also popped up in Dick’s Sporting Goods content, sharing real-life moments that connect with fans beyond the field. Ahead of the 2025 Super Bowl, Owens scored a lifestyle feature with Uber Eats, a short, fun tie-in that expanded his reach. And let’s not forget his appearance on HBO’s Hard Knocks during the Bears’ 2024 season, which gave him national exposure and major brand visibility. In short? The man’s playing the long game and winning.

“Sooo you on the same page as your wife?” one fan joked, and honestly, it’s the kind of question that only makes sense when your wife is Simone Biles. While the internet has a lot to say, the real answer is? Well, it’s complicated,  in the best way. Simone and Jonathan Owens are both doing their thing, full throttle. She’s locked in for the FIG World Championships in Jakarta this October while juggling endorsements and philanthropy like a pro. He’s gearing up for Year 2 with the Chicago Bears, riding a $4.75 million contract and holding his own as a key piece in their defense.

Performance-wise, both are coming off major seasons. Simone dominated in 2023 with five World Championship golds, then followed it up with an all-around gold in Paris 2024,  just adding to her already ridiculous medal count. Meanwhile, Jonathan didn’t exactly sit back either. He suited up in all 17 games for the Bears last season, racking up 49 tackles, a pick, a forced fumble, and two pass breakups.

Now let’s talk numbers because people love to compare. Simone Biles? She’s pulling in an estimated $25 million, with $11.2 million earned just in 2024 alone. That’s what happens when you’ve got global deals with brands like Athleta, Visa, and Uber Eats. Jonathan’s sitting somewhere between $2–7 million, due to his NFL salary and growing brand presence, including his headline deal with GoodSport and recent promos with Uber Eats and retail giants. So are they on the same page? Maybe not in net worth but in drive, discipline, and pure love for what they do? Absolutely.
