Simone Biles reveals contrasting game day personalities with husband Jonathan Owens

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are a power couple of the sporting world. While the former dominates the gymnastics world, the latter is busy making his mark in the NFL. Biles recently revealed that she's more stressed than her husband before his games.

Biles and Owens met in 2020, right before the Covid 19 pandemic. The duo quickly became inseparable, and went public with their relationship later that year. Owens proposed on Valentine's day in 2022, and the two got married a little over a year later.

Since they've been together, the two athletes have been each other's biggest cheerleaders. Speaking to Olympics Gymnastics in an interview recently, Simone Biles discussed what her and her husband’s routines looks like before an NFL game, explaining their contrasting personalities and revealing that she is often more stressed than Ownes.

“Well usually, you're not allowed to be with him the night before, so he sleeps separately in the hotel. And then after that, he comes up and gives me a kiss goodbye. He's so chill, he's relaxed, and that's also his personality, so (he's) not as stressed as me.

For Simone Biles, 2024 has been an incredibly busy season. The gymnast spent the first half of the year preparing for and competing at the Paris Olympics, and later embarked upon the second iteration of her Gold Over America Tour.

Now, after wrapping up her season, Biles has become a familiar face in the audience when Jonathan Owens and the Chicago Bears compete in the NFL. Speaking to Olympics Gymnastics on being there for her husband, Biles said that it meant a lot to her. She also revealed that she was a part of Owens' pregame ritual, saying:

“It means the world to me, and I know it means so much to him, for me to be able to go and support his games. And for him, it means a lot for me to go on the sidelines before, because he says that's his pregame routine. So he's always looking for me on the sidelines to give him good luck vibes and wishes. That's just his superstition.”

Prior to this, Jonathan Owens was a constant presence in the audience throughout Simone Biles' competitions this year. The NFL safety was present at the US Core Hydration Classic, US National Championships, and US Olympic Trials to support his wife. He later traveled to Paris to cheer her on as she secured three golds and a silver at the 2024 Games.
