Simone Biles is back home from the Paris Olympics and she's making the most of her time away from the gym. Recently, the American tuned in to support her husband Jonathan Owens and his team- the Chicago Bears, as they took on the Tennessee Titans, and let everyone know how proud she was when Owens scored a touchdown.

For Biles, 2024 has been a hectic season, and she's had her husband at the sidelines of every competition, cheering her on as she performed. The NFL safety even got permission to take a few days away from the Bears' preseason camp to fly to Paris to watch the gymnast compete at the Olympic Games.

Now, the roles are reversed. While the 26-year-old might not be able to make it to the stadium for each of her husband's games, she's still rooting for him from wherever she is. On Sunday night, Owens made his debut for the Chicago Bears, scoring a touchdown that eventually helped the team beat the Tennessee Titans 24-17.

Reacting to this, Simone Biles was quick to express support for her husband, writing on her Instagram stories,

“LFG!!! @jowens. TOUCHDOWN FOR HUBBY”

In a separate post on X, the gymnast also revealed that tensions ran high for her during Owens' game.

“I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK.”

Simone Biles reveals she's bought Chicago Bears gear after controversy over Green Bay Packers jacket

In late August, Simone Biles showed up to the Chicago Bears preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts. Ready to cheer for her husband, the gymnast sported an outfit that featured black and white shots of Owens in action, alongside a Green Bay Packers logo on the shoulder pad.

The Packers jacket caused quite the stir and rubbed fans the wrong way, with many encouraging the American to add some Bears gear to her closet and Biles taking the suggestion seriously.

On Thursday, September 5, the 26-year-old was stopped on the street of New York by TMZ. When asked if she had gotten ‘any Bears gear yet?’, she replied in the positive, saying,

“I have plenty now! So don’t you worry guys.”

For Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens, this isn't their first brush with controversy as a couple. Owens has come under fire many times on the internet, including the time he claimed he didn't know who his wife was when they met, when he called himself the catch in their relationship, and when he donned Biles' Olympic gold at the Paris Games.
