Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens found themselves in a jubilant mood on March 12, 2024, as Jonathan inked a lucrative two-year deal with the Chicago Bears worth $4.5 million. This prompted heartfelt gratitude from Simone towards the Green Bay Packers, who had embraced the couple the previous year.

Simone expressed her anticipation for the future with the Bears, emphasizing a notable change: the substantial reduction in the 1,351 miles that once separated them when Jonathan was in Green Bay and Simone was in Houston. Previously reliant on connecting flights, Simone now looks forward to the convenience of direct flights for easier reunions with her man.
