Olympic Champion Stands by Her Bear: Simone Biles Brings Golden Touch to NFL Sidelines
In a touching display of support that captured hearts across social media, Olympic legend Simone Biles joined her husband Jonathan Owens at Chicago’s Soldier Field for the Bears’ recent matchup against the New England Patriots. Despite the Bears’ disappointing 19-3 loss, the couple’s pre-game moment highlighted their strong bond amidst their busy professional lives.
The seven-time Olympic gold medalist, fresh from her triumphant performance at the Paris Olympics and the conclusion of her Gold Over America Tour, showed her team spirit in full Bears attire.
Biles wore a white hoodie with the team’s signature stripe design on the sleeves, emblazoned with “Chicago” across the front. She paired this with white leggings and black boots, fully embracing her role as an NFL wife.
The couple shared a sweet kiss on the sidelines before the game, a moment that quickly spread across social media platforms. Their public display of affection offered fans a glimpse into their supportive relationship, which has recently faced public scrutiny over past comments.
In a notable development, Biles has continued to defend her husband against critics who questioned Owens’ previous statement about not knowing who she was before they started dating.
The gymnast addressed this controversy head-on in her latest Netflix documentary, stating, “Social media gives followers this false sense of reality that they really know who you are and how you function.”
Speaking truth to power, Biles added, “I know we signed up to be judged in the gym, but when you guys are going to talk about him or my family, yeah, I’m going to come at you guys. Most of the time, I choose to remain silent, but now, I do have a voice.
The game itself proved challenging for Owens and the Bears, with the Patriots dominating the scoreboard. Despite the loss, Owens managed to contribute with two tackles, showing his dedication to his team’s defensive efforts.
Beyond the football field, Biles has been making waves with her recent social media activity. Following Donald Trump’s presidential victory, she made headlines with a message to President Biden, urging him to “make some things shake” before leaving office. Her post, which addressed women’s rights concerns, demonstrated her willingness to use her platform for social advocacy.
The power couple has been maximizing their time together despite their demanding schedules. Last weekend, they enjoyed a romantic date night, both dressed in striking all-black outfits. During the Bears’ bye week, they also managed to squeeze in some quality time, sharing vacation photos that delighted their followers.
As the Bears prepare to face the Green Bay Packers in their upcoming game, one thing remains clear: whether in victory or defeat, Simone Biles continues to be her husband’s biggest cheerleader, bringing her characteristic determination and support from the gymnastics mat to the football field.
The story of Biles and Owens serves as a reminder that even in the high-pressure world of professional sports, there’s always room for love, support, and standing up for what you believe in. As both continue their respective athletic journeys, their partnership appears to grow stronger with each passing challenge.
