Simone Biles opened up about how her husband Jonathan Owens’ dreams are coming true as he had always wished to play in the NFL, especially during the holiday season. Owens is currently playing as a safety for the Chicago Bears.

Biles spoke about how one of her husband Jonathan Owens' long-standing dreams has been for the family to gather and watch him play in the NFL during the holiday season.

During an interaction with E! Online, she was asked about holiday football games. To which, her response was:

“I think it's just so special. It just puts a fire in Jonathan's heart because he wants to play well, and he knows that everybody sits around the living room and each of the families is watching this. He is so excited because that was one of his dreams to make it to the NFL and be playing on these holidays. So, he’s super grateful and passionate about that.”

Recently, Simone Biles shared highlights of her visit to support Owens during the Bears' game against the San Francisco 49ers. The 27-year-old took to Instagram to post several moments, including celebrating with her 'football' besties and enjoying special moments with Jonathan Owens.

In her recent appearance on ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’, Simone Biles played a ‘This or That’ game in which she was asked to choose between what she liked: wrapping or unwrapping gifts. To which, the seven-time Olympic gold medalist replied (starting at 6:31 onwards):

“Unwrapping, I am a horrible wrapper. Everything goes in bags, I don't care what it is. I'll make Jonathan wrap his own Christmas presents. I'm horrible at it.”

Clarkson reacted to this, saying:

“Sometimes I do bag, but I love wrapping presents.”

Biles added that she is so terrible at wrapping gifts that when the paper tears, it looks like a kindergartner did it and suggested there should be a gift-wrapping service for the purpose.

“I'm so bad at it. The paper tears, it looks like a kindergartner did it…They can create a service.”

The American singer and song-writer further jokingly suggested the idea of starting a gift-wrapping business, adding:

“I should create a service, I would be amazing at it.”

In the interview, Biles also discussed choosing to be an elf over a reindeer and picking a tropical Christmas over a snowy one while playing the game.
