The Chicago Bears’ season has been a tough one, with a disappointing 4-9 record after 13 games. While the year has been challenging, there have been some bright spots, such as Jonathan Owens stepping up with seven tackles and an interception. Unfortunately, the Bears were handed a crushing 38-13 loss by an injury-plagued 49ers team, extending their losing streak to seven games. However, there may be a silver lining on the horizon. Simone Biles recently shared her husband’s dreams, and if they come true, Owens could bring the energy and spark the Bears need to turn things around in the NFL.

As Christmas approaches, the holiday season is once again in full swing. For Biles, this phase holds a special place in her heart. She loves spending time with loved ones during this busy season, saying, “The holidays can be hectic, but this is a reminder to slow down, be present, and take in this special time of year.” In an exclusive interview with E!, Simone reflected on her traditions and the role football plays in her life. When E! asked her, “Holiday football games bring people together, whether it’s the family with you at one of Jonathan’s games or the camaraderie of everyone watching the same game you are,” Simone’s response was simple, yet deeply meaningful: “Wow.”

Biles revealed a secret about Jonathan Owens’s upcoming game which is set to play against the Seattle Seahawks on December 26, 2024. The Olympian said, “I think it’s just so special. It puts a fire in Jonathan’s heart because he wants to play well, knowing that everyone is sitting around the living room, watching, with each of their families. He is so excited because making it to the NFL and playing on these holidays was one of his dreams. He’s super grateful and passionate about it.” That’s the kind of support any athlete dreams of from their partner, and Simone is truly a legend in her own right be it in gymnastics or in being a supportive wife.

As for Jonathan, he’s well on his way to becoming a legend himself in the NFL. And who knows this year could be the one where the NFL’s Christmas Day game hits new heights. Last year, the game reached an average of 29.2 million viewers, making it the most-watched Christmas Day regular-season game. This year, with Simone cheering him on, Jonathan could be playing in front of millions once again! But, as much as the holiday season is about spending time with loved ones, Owens and Simone will likely be apart this year due to his NFL schedule not only because of Owens but Biles’s commitment too.

The truth about Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens’ struggle to be ‘just married’

After their dream wedding in Cabo San Lucas in 2023, Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens’ newlywed life got a little complicated. With Biles always on the road for competitions and Owens was bust in his NFL career, they didn’t get much time to enjoy the typical married life. Even though Owens made it to Biles’ competition in Paris this year, their schedules still kept them apart. But in November, Owens finally got a chance to talk about what it’s been like spending time together now.

“This is really like our first time just being able to be married,” Owens said, sharing how their hectic routines had kept them from living the life they imagined. “I come home, and there’s food cooking, and it smells good.” Even with the distance, Biles also stayed positive. “Sure, it’s tough being apart, but we’ve been through this before. We always make it work,” she said, showing how they’ve learned to handle the challenges. Even last Christmas, when Owens faced criticism for his comment, Biles continued to support him!

Last year, Owens was trolled after claiming he was more of a “catch” than his wife. His comment set off a storm on social media, with fans calling him out left and right. But the couple wasn’t fazed. In Christmas 2023, they were still going strong. Simone posted a sweet picture of herself kissing Owens under their Christmas tree, both dressed in matching plaid pajamas.

Owens shared his own set of photos, one where Simone is sitting on his lap, smiling, and holding his hand. Despite the online trolls, the couple didn’t let it shake them. Owens even posted a wedding photo with the caption, “Unbothered 😂❤️ Just know we locked in over here 🤞🏽” These two clearly show that nothing, no matter what people say can break their bond.
