Simone Biles Congratulates Husband Jonathan Owens on End of NFL Season

Simone Biles showed support for husband Jonathan Owens after the Green Bay Packers lost, bringing their NFL season to an end.

“What a season,” Biles, 26, wrote via Instagram Story on Sunday, January 21, following the San Francisco 49ers defeating the Packers 24-21 the day prior. In the video, Biles and Owens, 28, embraced on the field and shared a few kisses.

Ahead of the game on Saturday, January 20, Biles shared another video via Instagram Story sweetly kissing her husband on the field. “Good luck today baby,” she wrote, adding “go 34” in reference to Owens’ jersey number. “Let’s do the damn thing! I’m so proud of you.”

The four-time Olympic gold medalist and Owens wed in April 2023 after three years of dating. Several months after tying the knot, Owens made headlines when he said he was the “catch” in their relationship.

“I always say that the men are the catch,” he said during a December 2023 episode of “The Pivot” podcast. “She did [pull me], though, because I was fighting it. … At the time, I was afraid to commit. I was like, ‘This is my third year [in the NFL], I’m trying … it’s kind of early,’ but, you know, it happens when you least expect it.”

Owens explained that Biles messaged him in 2020 on the dating app Raya, and claimed that he didn’t know much about the gymnast at first. Biles, who was present during the podcast, laughed at her husband’s comments and said that in a “few years” she will be known as “Jonathan Owens’ wife” more than he is known as “Simone Biles’ husband” now.
