A viewership of 8.2 million! This incredible feat now rests with Simone Biles’ documentary series, Simone Biles Rising. The gymnast who had to leave the sports she loved back in 2020, in the greatest stage of all, the Olympics, returned in 2024 to the very same sport on the very same stage and reclaimed her position as the goat. The documentary explored her comeback as a gymnast and ventured into her personal life as well. One thing that got a lot of attention was the series talking about her married life. What does she have to say about this?

Netflix, in its official interview with the gymnast, asked her how sharing details about her relationship with her husband felt, especially when they have been in the public eye for so long. The Olympian responded, “Our relationship is a really big part of my life, and everyone’s gotten to see me grow up, but they haven’t gotten to see me and my husband interact.” The 28-year-old has seen fame since she won the all-around title in the 2013 world championship at just sixteen.

Biles further pointed out that she wanted the world to know that she can get married and still be the best version of herself when it came to gymnastics. She got married on 22 April 2023, and after the 2024 Paris Olympics, she returned with 3 golds and one silver. “Our relationship is a really big part of my life, and everyone’s gotten to see me grow up, but they haven’t gotten to see me and my husband interact. I thought it really important to highlight that, yes, I can be married and still be at the top of my game. Getting married and going back to the Olympics was a huge part of my life that I didn’t want to gloss over.” She said. But there was a challenge.

While sharing the details of their marriage, Biles also had to consider Owen’s privacy and how much he wanted to be a part of the docuseries. Ultimately, the couple worked out and decided that it was important for him to be a part of it. She further said in the interview, “Obviously, we respected Jonathan’s privacy as well and had to figure out how much he wanted to be highlighted in the series. But ultimately, we decided that we do want to share this. It’s a big part of our lives, and I think it’s really important for kids to see that there are things to look forward to past gymnastics and sports.”

The couple has been really supportive of each other through their almost two years of marriage. Once Simone had hit back at trolls who came after Owens for wearing her Olympic medal. Owens, on the other hand, has time to time, supported his wife as well.

When the gymnast won the 2024 SI Sportsperson of the Year Award, the NFL safety took to his social media to pen down a heartfelt note for his wife. Now, Simone’s influence has turned Owens into a fan of gymnastics, too!

Simone Biles’s husband is a gymnastics fan.

“He knows so much about gymnastics,” Biles said in an interview while pointing out that she is still learning a thing or two about football. Owens has been a regular supporter of Biles at her games. The man negotiated time away from his NFL duties for the Chicago Bears because he wanted to put the Paris Olympics as a priority. And no, he did not do this to play for the US team, but because he wanted to support his wife.

As the gymnast entered the finals of the grandest stage of all, Owens flew to Paris to see her. “Coming for you baby,” Owens posted on his Instagram story with a photo of him onboard an airplane. Biles reposted it, adding four emojis: “🤞🏾🤞🏾🥹🥹”. Other than Owens, Biles’ parents, Ron and Nellie, were also in attendance. Moreover, he has also been seen doing something during Biles’ games that has drawn a lot of attention.

When the NFL safety arrived to watch his wife in the finals of the gymnastics finals of the Olympics, the man donned a Simone Biles T-shirt, as well as a pen and notepad. Yes, a pen and notepad!!! This left a lot of fans wondering what the man was writing down.

Maybe the moments he loved in the match? Maybe a loving note for his wife? What do you think?
