“My dogs have made my life better significantly,” Simone Biles told USA TODAY all the way back in 2021. It’s no secret that Biles and her husband, Jonathan Owens, are proud pet parents of three adorable fur babies. Biles even confessed how much of an emotional help her dogs have been over the years. “Being an elite athlete puts a lot of stress and pressure on you, and I got Lilo and Rambo for emotional support and to be a companion through all of my ups and downs,” Biles added.

Remember how her two pups Lilo and Rambo cheered were seen cheering for Biles from the stands while Biles went on to win the bronze medal in the balance beam team? Well, her dogs were not present in stands physically, but just a glimpse of her fur babies was enough for the 11x Olympics medalist. It was Scott Evans of Access Hollywood who brought cutouts of Lilo and Rambo. “We just wanted to make sure Simone felt the love… Her reaction was everything,” Scott shared in 2021. Even last year, when Simone’s dogs donned Packers gear to cheer Owens, the pups instantly went viral on the internet. Now, it looks like Biles and Owens are extending their family with a one-of-a-kind new member.

When talking to TODAY Network last year, Simone even said that “her dogs are the greatest asset that I’ve ever got and I don’t regret it one bit the amount of work it takes to have two of these little pups. I wouldn’t trade it for the world.” And now with another member on its way, not only Biles but husband Owens is equally excited to welcome them home.

The Instagram story of @regalempiredobermans—a veteran-operated kennel whose sole purpose is to produce the finest Dobermans worldwide—posted a story on March 30, 2025, sharing a photo of Biles and Owens’ wedding. The story read, “Congratulations to @jowens & @simonebiles. They will be getting their Regal Empire Doberman later this year.” This was confirmed when Jonathan Owens himself reposted the story. So a Doberman would be soon joining the French Bulldogs.

Out of three Bulldogs owned by the family, two of them belong to Simone. Named Lilo and Rambo Biles, the two of them call themselves “Texas living trouble makers” over their Instagram. Yes, the Bulldogs have an Instagram account !!! It goes by the username of thebilesfrenchies. Owens‘ dog is not socially awkward either; to begin with, he is named after the King of Gods in Greek mythology, Zeus.

On his Instagram, @zeusthebulldog36, he calls himself the “Most energetic English Bulldog you’ve ever met. I love food, chewing on anything I can find, and taking long naps.” The dogs are a very important part of the couple’s life, especially Biles who has been very vocal about how the dogs support her. In an interview with Nulo (a pet food company), “Being an elite athlete puts a lot of stress and pressure on you, and I got Lilo and Rambo for emotional support and to be a companion through all of my ups and downs.”

After Biles’ struggles with mental health forced her to withdraw from several competitions at the Tokyo Olympics, USA Gymnastics also sought the help of a friendly canine as part of their mental health program ahead of the Paris Olympics. Beacon, an emotional support dog based in California, was there to calm the nerves of the Paris Olympics hopefuls during the trials in Minneapolis. And considering the success that Biles and the rest of the Golden Girls had at the event, let’s just say Beacon did a pretty good job.

So it’s pretty much a no-brainer to assume that Biles will be more than happy to welcome another fur ball into her family. But wait. If you think that’s the only big Biles-Owens update that has been making the rounds. Think again.

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens create unforgettable memories

After two years of marriage and an equally long wait for their first big getaway, Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens finally had their long-overdue honeymoon. Basking in the scenic beauty of South Africa, the couple went on a safari, during which the gymnastics GOAT had a tête-à-tête with an elephant and got to see a lion reap the rewards of a successful hunt. The couple also went to a daycare center that serves 87 local children. Now back home from the honeymoon, Biles shared a few snapshots from their busy last two months.

On March 28, 2025, Biles shared a carousel of throwback pictures on her Instagram captioned, “Just checking in 🤎.” Among them was a picture of the couple at the luxurious La Residence in South Africa. To keep things interesting (read: hilarious), there was also a picture of Owens with a goat. A literal goat, not the GOAT of gymnastics.

Owens had a two-emoji reaction to the post. The man dropped two hearts with fire emojis in the comment section, citing, “❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥“. After the trip, he returned to Bears training, and Simone later jetted off for a girls’ trip—the memories lingered.
