Simone Biles is dominating the NFL WAG scene. From cheering on her husband, Jonathan Owens, the Chicago Bears safety, to wearing some seriously head-turning outfits, she’s been stealing the spotlight everywhere she goes. And it’s not just the fashion, those adorable pre-game rituals, like sweet handshakes and kisses, are making everyone smile. Ever had a fan see your outfit and ask, “Damn, who made that? Bet it cost a pretty penny!” Simone’s got that effect. And her latest look? It’s not just any outfit—it’s “my favorite” yet. So, what went down at the Bears vs. Seahawks game on Thursday? Well, Simone didn’t need to say a word to show where her loyalty lies, her outfit did all the talking.

This December 27th, Simone Biles brought a whole new level of style to NFL game day. She rocked a custom hooded sweatshirt, and the design was all about Jonathan Owens. The sweatshirt, cropped just right, was decked out with photos of her husband, his last name, and his jersey number, 36, making it clear who she was supporting. She paired it perfectly with a tiny white Chanel purse and her new bob.

The Kelly Daley design itself was a masterpiece. But the sweatshirt stole the show with black and orange accents, and “CHI TOWN” written boldly on one side, while the other featured the Bears logo. Even her boots were personalized to match Jonathan’s style. While we’ve seen Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes turn heads with their stylish support for Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, Simone is showing that she’s just as stylish and dedicated. No doubt, she’s making a name for herself in the WAG world! In fact, even on December 28th, the SundaySportsClubPodcast gave Simone Biles a well-deserved shout out, alongside other WAGs!

They shared a post that carries a series of pictures on Instagram. It started with Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens together, with the caption “NFL WAG goals.” And honestly, it was spot on. The post celebrated Simone for her massive impact, not just in gymnastics, but in how she juggles it all. After totally dominating the Paris Olympics with three gold medals and finishing her “Gold Over America” tour, Simone could have taken a break, but instead, she’s in Chicago, fully supporting Jonathan and his journey with the Bears. What really stood out was how she spent Christmas away from her family, parents, and sister, like she usually does, to be with Jonathan, just so they could have some time together.

The second picture had Travis Kelce with Taylor Swift, followed by Russell Wilson with Ciara. Then we saw Kyle Juszczyk with Kristin Juszczyk, Jason Kelce with Kylie Kelce, and finally, Brittany Mahomes with Patrick Mahomes. Each WAG got a special shout out, celebrating their style and how they support their partners. Even the caption of the post was, “You know we’re here for the girls (the guys are cool to but like… these girls slay).”

And honestly, it couldn’t be more true! Simone is stepping into some big shoes like Taylor Swift before her, Simone is getting noticed for her stylish game-day support of Jonathan. If you’ve seen how Taylor’s fandom has impacted the NFL, you know the drill—a huge celebrity supports football, and her massive fanbase tunes in too. Remember when Taylor attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game on September 24? That set off a wave of new viewers, especially among her Swifties.

Taylor’s built a whole empire around her music career, and now her influence has spread to the NFL, bringing in tons of new fans, especially women and girls. They even call it the “Swift bump,” due to a 20% rise in NFL sponsorships. Female viewership has jumped, with teenage girls watching more than ever up 53%, and the 18-24 demographic seeing a 24% rise. Now, with Simone Biles joining the mix, it’s only going to get bigger.

Biles has been a major supporter of Owens games, especially with her fashion choices, even if she’s caused a little drama like the time she wore a Green Bay Packers jacket to support the Bears, which didn’t exactly sit well with Bears fans. But since then, she’s made it clear she’s all in for the Bears. It’s kind of funny how she’s now recognized in the same way as Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes, two WAGs who—like Simone—are always in the spotlight for their stylish support of their partners.,

When it comes to WAGs in the NFL, it’s hard to argue against the fact that Taylor Swift and Simone Biles are probably the two most talked about right now. While their paths might have crossed in the spotlight, the truth is that despite their huge presence; they haven’t had the chance to spend much time together yet.

When Simone Biles called Taylor Swift an “opponent”

Remember the buzz in 2023 when Simone Biles and Taylor Swift had everyone talking? It all kicked off during a Packers vs. Chiefs game, with Jonathan Owens, who was still playing for the Green Bay Packers at the time facing off against Travis Kelce. Fans weren’t just watching the game; they were all about Owens and Kelce. Some signs in the crowd even declared support for Biles over Swift, and when Owens dodged a penalty in a dramatic final play against Kelce, the “battle of the power couples” got even more intense.

Even at the premiere of Simone Biles Rising: Season 2, an Access Hollywood reporter asked Simone about her “Taylor Swift-inspired” floor routine and how she felt about being a WAG. Simone couldn’t help but laugh and admitted she hadn’t really bonded with Swift yet, saying, “You don’t usually bond with opponents.”

While the Bears and the Chiefs won’t face off in the regular season, there’s still a chance they could meet in the playoffs. If that happens, who knows? We could see a crossover moment between Simone and Taylor, but considering they’ll be cheering for opposing teams, don’t expect them to share a suite! Either way, fans are loving the outfits these two are rocking. Simone’s fashion game is on point, and whether she bonds with Taylor or not, it’s clear that the style she’s bringing as a WAG is getting all the attention.
