Simone Biles details romantic pregame ritual with husband Jonathan Owens
Jonathan Owens' wife Simone Biles has been making frequent appearances at Chicago Bears games, impressing fans with stylish gameday outfits. The Olympics gymnast recently revealed a special gameday ritual she has with her husband, which the Bears safety loves performing before getting on the field.
On Thursday, Simone Biles sat in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE. During the interaction, Biles mentioned how her husband Jonathan Owens loves to "see" her before a game. Opening up about Owens' romantic gesture before every Bears game, the decorated Olympian said:
"Pre-game, I just let him do him because I know how stressful that can be sometimes. But he loves to come see me because he usually has to stay at the team hotel, so he loves to come see me, kiss me goodbye."
Moving forward in the interview, Biles went down memory lane and opened up about her initial days of dating Owens. The couple met through a dating app called 'Raya' in 2020 and before meeting the safety, the legendary gymnast had hardly any knowledge about football.
Simone Biles learned 'so much' about football during initial days of dating Jonathan Owens
Later in the PEOPLE’s interview, Simone Biles confessed how she was "never into" football. The gymnast's "dad and brother," on the other hand, are huge football fans. Therefore, when she started seeing Jonathan Owens, she "learned so much" about the sport. Talking about the same, she said:
"My dad and my brothers were always watching football, but I was never into it. But I was always at the gym too, it's not like I even had time to get to know it. In the very beginning, the Texans (in her hometown of Houston) would always bring me out so that I could lead the team out the tunnel and all of that good stuff.
"But I still knew absolutely not a thing about football. I've learned so much and even some of his teammates' wives are like, ‘Oh my gosh, you've come so far, you've learned so much,’ because they've seen the journey," Biles further added.
Simone Biles' statement came less than a week after she impressed fans with her all-black outfit during an appearance on the "Kelly Clarkson Show."
