Simone Biles, the extraordinary gymnast with unparalleled talent, radiates brilliance not only in her athletic feats but also in her personal endeavours. Presently, she captures attention not only for her remarkable skills but also for her heartwarming relationship with her husband, Jonathan Owens.

They’ve become one of Instagram’s favourite couples. However, as today marks the 14th of March, it’s not just any ordinary day for the gymnastics world and Owens; Simone Biles’s birthday. In the midst of celebration, Biles is taken aback by a heartfelt birthday wish from someone she’ll fervently support in the future: the Chicago Bears, Owens’s new team as he recently signed a contract with the Chicago Bears for 2 years.

Recently, Chicago Bears share a post on X, which carried a picture of Biles captioned with warm wishes: “Happy birthday to the newest Bears fan, @Simone_Biles!” Its worth noting, Owens was a stalwart player for the Green Bay Packers throughout the entirety of the 2023 season, played an instrumental role in propelling the historic franchise to the second round of the NFL Playoffs, clinching the 7th seed in the fiercely competitive NFC.

Despite Owens showcasing his prowess as a reliable starter for the Packers for a second consecutive season, the decision-makers in Green Bay opted to grant him the liberty to explore free agency. Unprioritized by the Packers’ front office, Owens found solace in the opportunity to seek redemption in the upcoming season. Transitioning to the upcoming season, Owens finds himself donning the esteemed Chicago Bears jersey for the next two years.

This strategic move immerses him right into the epicenter of one of the NFL’s fiercest rivalries. The Bears and Packers clash in two intense showdowns every season, driven by their historic NFC North divisional rivalry. Yet, for Biles, Green Bay holds an irreplaceable significance.
