Simone Biles has been attending almost every NFL game involving her husband, Jonathan Owens. The Olympic champion gymnast was previously spotted during the Chicago Bears' game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which the Bears won by a close margin of 31-28. With this victory, the Chicago Bears have cemented their position as the table toppers of the NFL North region, with eight victories from 11 games.

Simone Biles' husband, Jonathan Owens, joined the NFL in the 2018 season as a reserve member of the Arizona Cardinals. After shuffling between multiple teams, Owens joined the Chicago Bears in the 2024 season.

When Simone Biles opened up about her parents' efforts that helped her become a successful gymnast

Simone Biles once reflected on the struggles her adoptive parents, Ronald Biles and Nellie Biles, had underwent in order to make the gymnastics sensation she is today. The 28-year-old gymnast remarked in an appearance on the World Business Forum as she said,

“They never really cared or ever talked about medal placement, podium placement, none of that. hey would always just kiss me goodbye and say, ‘Good luck, have fun, be safe.’ And I think that’s why I have been so successful."

For the uninitiated, Simone Biles' adoptive parents, Ronald Biles and Nellie Biles, are her biological grandparents. Her biological father had abandoned the family completely, while her biological mother, Shanon, struggled with her drug addiction and left the four sisters to foster care. When Ronald and Nellie learnt of this, they immediately brought them back and formally adopted Simone Biles and her sister Adria by 2003, when Biles was just six years old.

Simone Biles was last seen at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Her parents, as well as her husband Jonathan Owens, attended the quadrennial event to watch the legend cement her legacy as one of the greatest female gymnasts of all time.
