Simone Biles created a buzz with her comeback which came along with separation blues with her husband. The gymnastics and NFL stars met each other in 2020 and married this year in May, after being engaged for a year. Everything came together on May 12 when Jonathan Owens signed a new contract with the Green Bay Packers making him shift to Wisconsin. Similar to their love story, their careers also advanced this year which introduced them to a long-distance relationship.

With Biles’s return to gymnastics, the two are keeping their spark alive connecting over Facetime followed by some sleepless nights. Recently, the gymnast shared an adorable note after looking at one of Owens’s pictures from practice.

Owens was focused on the field when the camera clicked on the man in action. He was wearing grey and green Packers attire along with the safety helmet and hands ready for the catch. The sportsman appears well-adjusted at this point in his career, ready to play the defensive position as the NFL season approaches. Just some thousand miles away, is Biles who is preparing for US Classics. Just around the time of her spectacular beam return, she expressed her feelings about not being with her husband in person.

Biles continues to be unsure of how she will fit in time to support Owens given her rigorous practice schedule. With her nearly perfect score of 57.650 on the Nationals Team Camp she is now lined up with national events following the Games next year. Her jam-packed schedule now collides with that of Owens as the NFL season begins in September. Sneaking in and managing their times until now the two adorably committed athletes shared some moments despite the long distance.
