For Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens, love has always felt like a team sport, rooted in mutual respect, unwavering support, and those subtle yet powerful moments that speak volumes. Whether it’s Biles cheering from the sidelines or Owens hyping her Olympic routines, the duo has consistently shown what it means to stand by each other’s side, even from afar.

This week, the couple’s bond took center stage again as Owens celebrated his birthday while deep in the grind of NFL training camp with the Chicago Bears. The 28-year-old safety signed with the Bears in earlier in 2024, after wrapping up the campaign with the Green Bay Packers, where he played all 17 regular-season games and recorded 84 total tackles. Now, he’s stepping into a new chapter in the Windy City, focused, hungry, and adjusting to the playbook under head coach Matt Eberflus.

But even from miles away, while vacationing with friends, Biles didn’t let the day slip by without a heartfelt nod to her husband. In a simple but sweet Instagram story, she posted a training camp photo of Owens in his Bears gear and captioned it with three unmistakable words: “HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUSBAND.” No filters, no frills, just love and pride and hearts, served straight from one champion to another.

So, what does this birthday wish reveal beyond the surface?

Well, it’s a snapshot of a relationship grounded in the ability to celebrate each other’s journeys, even when their physical paths diverge. Owens is fully immersed in Bears camp, working to carve out a meaningful role in the defensive backfield while Biles keeps inspiring the generations. So, how was the bond forged?
