Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens shared an adorable handshake before Bears-Vikings

The couple had a moment before Monday Night Football.

The Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings squared off on Monday night in Minneapolis, with the home team improving to 12-2 in a decisive 30-12 win. While Minnesota has been thriving, Chicago has had a tough go of things, losing seven straight games heading into the Monday Night Football contest. Before the game, Bears safety Jonathan Owens met with his wife on the sidelines.

Owens has been married to Olympic gymnast Simone Biles in April of 2023, and she’s frequently in attendance at her husband’s games. Biles wished her husband good luck, then the couple adorably executed a complicated handshake before parting ways.

Jonathan Owens celebrated a Bears fumble by miming Simone Biles’ landing pose

Jonathan Owens wholeheartedly loves Simone Biles.

With Jonathan Owens playing for the Chicago Bears this season, that means Simone Biles — his all-time Olympian wife — is usually in attendance to support her husband. And it’s pretty clear that any time Owens makes a significant play, he’s going to pay proper tribute to her.

On Sunday, with the NFC North rival Minnesota Vikings threatening to punch the ball into the end zone on a promising opening drive, Owens forced a fumble on Vikings running back Aaron Jones.

To celebrate the turnover, Owens gathered his Bears teammates in the end zone and mimed Biles’ signature landing pose.

Fantastic stuff.

Owens is a classic wife guy through and through. You gotta love it.

Gymnastics legend Simone Biles praises Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes: ‘He’s just a miracle worker’

Gymnastics legend Simone Biles praises Kansas City #Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes: ‘He’s just a miracle worker’ | @EdEastonJr

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes’s popularity continues to grow with his success. He has caught the attention of various fans, NFL critics, and sports legends, like Olympic Gymnast Simone Biles.

Biles recently appeared on the “Not Just Football with Cam Heyward” podcast to speak highly about her husband, Johnathan Owens, and express respect for Mahomes’ play on the field.

“I mean, besides my husband (Owens), because he’s broken down stigmas that aren’t typical,” said Biles. “He’s D2 (Division II), undrafted, in year seven in the league, which is so good for kids to see, especially when he hosts his football camps. But I really think we always go back to Patrick Mahomes.”

Biles recently took home four more medals at her third Olympic Games in Paris, France, this past summer, inspiring a country with her career efforts. She’s impressed with Mahomes’ triumphs and jokingly said her husband wouldn’t be fond of her admiration for the three-time Super Bowl champion.

“A freak of nature, how does he always pull it out? It’s like the Chiefs could be down, and he’s just a miracle worker,” said Biles. “He’d probably kill me for saying that or admitting it, at least.”

Mahomes adds another fan, and the Chiefs aren’t expected to see Owens and his Chicago Bears again this year unless the teams meet in the Super Bowl.

Simone Biles makes fashion statement at Rams-Bears

Simone Biles with a great look at Soldier Field for Rams-Bears

The Chicago Bears played host to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday at Soldier Field. Olympic great Simone Biles was on hand to support husband Jonathan Owens and the home team against their NFC West foe

Biles made quite the fashion statement in a sharp outfit and stunning go-go boots.

Simone Biles had the proudest reaction to husband Jonathan Owens scoring a TD on blocked punt

Simone Biles was unbelievably proud of Jonathan Owens.

Safety Jonathan Owens is a Chicago Bear now. That means the greatest American gymnast of all time, Simone Biles, is now a fan of the Bears as she watches her husband play for them.

And boy, the prolific Olympian got a special treat on Sunday afternoon.

In Caleb Williams’ debut, the Bears were trying to mount a double-digit comeback against the visiting Tennessee Titans during the third quarter. They would block a punt that found its way into the hands of Owens, who streaked into the end zone for Chicago’s first touchdown of the 2024 season.

When Biles recapped her feelings on the moment on Twitter, she was understandably over the moon about her husband making the huge play:

 

Man, that’s so awesome. What a lovely moment for this dynamic young power couple.

Simone Biles revealed why her flag handoff with Tom Cruise was the most stressful part of the Olympics

“Don’t mess it up. Don’t mess it up.”

Simone Biles won a staggering four medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics. But she says she didn’t feel any pressure while earning them. There was another moment that was way more nerve-wracking for the GOAT of gymnastics — handing off the Olympic flag to Tom Cruise.

I’m not kidding. That’s an actual sentence. Simone Biles was incredibly uneasy about the flag handoff with Tom Cruise because she didn’t want to botch it. During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Simone recapped her fantastic Olympic run with Jimmy when he asked her about carrying the Olympic flag during closing ceremonies.

Jimmy mentioned that he thought it had to be a lot of pressure, including not tripping in front of the world, and Simone agreed. Then, she revealed why it was so much pressure, saying, “I’m always tripping, falling down stairs — like, bad for me. So, actually that’s like the most nervous I was for the whole entire Olympics. I was like, ‘Okay, I have to hand the flag off — like, don’t mess it up. Don’t mess it up.’ I was terrified.” (See the 1:23 mark of the YouTube video below.)

Caitlin Clark and the Fever fangirled so hard over meeting Simone Biles and Gabby Thomas

Caitlin and the Fever met Simone Biles and Gabby Thomas, and the whole team was HYPED.

Simone Biles and fellow Olympian Gabby Thomas met the Indiana Fever Wednesday, and the team’s reaction was priceless.

Before the Fever’s matchup with the Connecticut Sun, Biles posted on her Instagram story that she was attending her first WNBA game. Simone and Gabby picked one heck of a matchup to attend. Caitlin Clark was doing Caitlin Clark things during a back-and-forth game that included breaking a WNBA record, an unbelievable crosscourt assist and trading buckets with DiJonai Carrington.

The Fever eventually won and they were rewarded with a locker room visit by Simone and Gabby. Unsurprisingly, nearly every player could hardly contain themselves as they posed for photos. The pure joy on their faces is spectacular.

Simone Biles traveled to Indianapolis to watch Caitlin Clark and the Fever take on the Sun

Simone Biles showed up to see Caitlin Clark and the Fever take on the Sun on Wednesday night.

Part of Team USA star gymnast Simone Biles’ post-2024 Paris Olympics plans included visiting Gainbridge Fieldhouse to watch rookie guard Caitlin Clark and the red-hot Indiana Fever.

Biles was in the house for Wednesday night’s Fever game against the  Connecticut Sun, one of the best teams in the WNBA.

The Gold medal winner picked a great game to visit Indianapolis for, as Clark and the Fever taking on a star-studded Sun team in the loud and proud Gainbridge Fieldhouse is about as good a ticket as you can get in the WNBA right now.

We’re sure this isn’t the last Fever game Biles will attend, as the team will continue to attract notable spectators from across the worlds of sports and entertainment.

Simone Biles recreated her head-turning Olympics meme on TikTok and it’s glorious

Recreating your own meme and somehow making it better is top-tier talent.

There’s humor, and then there’s Simone Biles‘ humor. Frankly, it’s unmatched, and the other girls don’t stand a chance.

Simone has been living her best life since her fantastic run during the 2024 Paris Olympics. She finally got to see other Olympic athletes compete, hung out with Elmo and even unexpectedly started a funny meme just for being herself.

The meme took over social media, with people finding all kinds of ways to use a moment where Simone turned her head and appeared startled by something to their advantage. Simone seemingly knows about her head-turning meme being a thing with the internet because she recreated it for a TikTok with Netflix, and it’s glorious.

Simone Biles is getting unnecessarily ripped for wearing a Packers jacket to watch husband Jonathan Owens play for the Bears

Can we just stop with this? This is not a controversy. Here’s why.

OK, I get it. I know the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers have a Midwest rivalry that’s decades old.

But you have to give Simone Biles a break here. She went to root on her husband, Jonathan Owens, at the Bears’ preseason game on Saturday, and she happened to wear a super-cool custom jacket with his image plastered all over it. We love when they support each other, right?

Except, the jacket was of Owens as a Packer. So there was all this silly backlash over it, as you’ll see.

This is dumb. First off, she was too busy winning Olympic medals to buy a custom Owens with the Bears coat. Second, dude has been a Bear for a minute. There aren’t enough photos of him in Chicago gear to make a new one.

I’m sure she’ll be rocking something more Bears-themed next time and we can move on.
