Today, at the U.S. Classics in Chicago, Simone Biles made a stunning comeback. Her return was highly anticipated, and she did not disappoint. With a remarkable score of 14.0 in the first round, the 26-year-old once again proved why she is considered the GOAT of gymnastics. However, amid the excitement, one question lingered. Where was her NFL player husband, Jonathan Owens, during this momentous occasion?

Unfortunately, Owens had to miss witnessing her triumphant return live. After their wedding in May, he signed a deal with the Green Bay Packers worth $1.01 million. This deal required him to relocate to Wisconsin for the upcoming NFL season preparations. As the NFL safety dedicates himself to his team, fans couldn’t help but wonder if his absence affected Biles. Regardless, her performance left spectators in awe. She also kept Owens close to her during the meet in her own way.

At the U.S. Classic, Simone Biles showcased her unique way of including her husband, Jonathan Owens, in her routine. The 7-time Olympics gold medalist was spotted wearing a necklace with her soulmate’s name during the event. A Twitter user shared a picture of Biles donning the necklace, captioning it “Simone Biles wearing a necklace with husband Jonathan Owens’ name” while competing in #RoadToParis tonight.

Interestingly, Owens had his own commitments in Green Bay, where he was competing for the Packers family night, though not quite at the same stakes.

Even though they couldn’t be together physically, the necklace served as a heartwarming reminder of their support for each other’s endeavors, both in sports and in life. But what led to Owens’ absence at such a significant moment in his wife’s gymnastics journey? The descriptive reason for his non-appearance was revealed during Biles’ Q&A session on Instagram.
