Last season, Simone Biles was a familiar face at Chicago Bears games, proudly backing her husband, Jonathan Owens. In one standout moment, the Olympian stole the spotlight in a patchwork-style terrycloth outfit covered with Owens’ images. And this year, with Biles taking a break from competition, her priority remains clear: Supporting Owens. Ahead of his next game, she even shared a sweet unseen clip of the two.

Simone Biles has been a constant presence this season, cheering on Jonathan Owens. On August 10 at Soldier Field, when the Bears faced the Dolphins, the Olympian lit up the stands in support of her sweetheart. The moment Owens spotted her, he made a beeline to the sidelines, and the couple shared a passionate kiss that sent fans buzzing. Biles sealed the moment with a sweet Instagram story: “I love youuuu🖤.”

Well, Simone Biles and Owens support each other on every occasion. But do you know how they met?

Their love story kicked off in March 2020 when they matched on the exclusive dating app Raya. Interestingly, it was Biles who slid into his DMs, calling him cute. Though Owens admitted he didn’t even know who she was at first, the two quickly hit it off.  By August 2020, they made it official through their Instagram handle that they are in a relationship.

And their romance just blossomed. Owens has often said he began falling for Simone within the first month, while she’s described him as her “safe space.” After two years of laughter, support, fights, and growing together, Ownes finally proposed to Biles in 2022, on Valentine’s Day, and the couple tied the knot back in April 2023, with a fairytale wedding in Cabo. It’s been two years since their wedding now, and the love and respect between them has not withered.

While right now, neither of them is planning to have a child, it’s quite certain that Biles doesn’t want her child to go into her sport. Why?

Simon Biles is against her kid taking up her sport

With intense demands at a young age, a short career span, and limited financial incentives, gymnastics has long been marred by accusations, from neglecting athletes’ well-being to underpaying them for their hard work. As a result, the sport seems to be slowly losing touch, and Simone Biles understands this all too well.

When asked whether she would let her child pursue her sport, the most decorated gymnast denied it flatly. “They haven’t taken accountability for their actions or what they’ve done. And they haven’t assured us that it’s never going to happen again.” She was referring to the mishandling of the Larry Nassar abuse scandal, stressing the need for an independent investigation and lasting systemic reform.

She further criticized the fact that at the Karolyi Ranch, young gymnasts were underfed to the point that they had to break into the cafeteria. Biles highlighted that despite giving their all, the athletes received so little from the sport that it became frustrating. “It’s not the right training,” remarked Biles.

And now, at the top of the sport, the psychological scars she received in her career appear to be enough.
