Supporting Jonathan Owens, Simone Biles Reveals Another Harsh Long-Distance NFL Rule

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are considered in that power couple category in the community. Why is that so? Despite their differences in sports, they typically communicate and work through their issues together, establishing benchmarks in the realm of relationships. However, despite their best efforts to spend time together, the long-distance issue has persisted for a considerable amount of time.

Due to their mastery of different sports, when Owens has time for Biles, she is mostly engaged in her gym duties, and when it comes to the gymnast’s off-season, like currently, the NFL player is busy with his team. However, despite all the complications, they understand their issues and manage to make the most out of the time that is available to them. Recently, Biles has come forward to discuss such details from their relationship, revealing a certain rule, and even if she makes her time to move to cities where Owens’ game is being held, there’s still a short amount of time for them to spend with each other.

Shifting his focus between Simone Biles and the NFL

While Simone Biles travels from city to city to watch Jonathan Owens play, there are only a few occasions when they can spend all the time together. Speaking to People, she revealed, stating, “Pre-game, I just let him do him because I know how stressful that can be sometimes. But he loves to come see me because he usually has to stay at the team hotel, so he loves to come see me, kiss me goodbye.” The 27-year-old doesn’t want her husband to take on extra pressure before his NFL matches, so he eventually makes up for it with a kind gesture.

Despite Owens’ busy schedule, he still finds time for his wife, allowing them to have brief but heartfelt interactions. What is the specific rule of their long-distance relationship? Biles’ husband is bound to his contract with the Chicago Bears. Even if his wife travels all the way to the city where his match is taking place to visit him, Owens only gets a short amount of time to interact with her after the game and cannot stay with her, as he must stay in the same hotel as the rest of the team. Does this situation have a significant impact on their relationship? Certainly, it would be painful for Biles to spend so little time with her husband, but she understands the situation and strives to make the most of it, as Owens is pursuing his passion to become a top NFL player.

In order to secure a spot in the NFL, Owens has overcome numerous obstacles over the past few years. Eventually, he signed a contract with the Chicago Bears on March 13, 2024, making a name for himself out there. The moment he got officially into an NFL team, the happiest person in the room apart from Owens himself was none other than his wife, Simone Biles. However, because of the NFL games, her husband has dedicated most of his time to his team duties, which include training sessions and other activities.

Biles, though, understands the situation their relationship has been put in. As an athlete, she knows how hard it is to juggle family and the sport. Both of them have also been building a house in Spring, Texas, so they could spend most of their time together. During the first half of the year, the gymnast was occupied with her own schedule due to the approaching Paris Olympics. However, as the off-season approaches, she finds herself traveling around the US to support her husband. Despite the short amount of time they have together, it doesn’t deteriorate their relationship but makes it even stronger than ever. Even though the holidays are approaching, the couple may be open to spending a long-distance Christmas this year.

NFL duty to keep them away once again

Holidays are all about spending time together with family. However, for Jonathan Owens, his team, the Chicago Bears, will be having a game against the Seattle Seahawks on December 26. As a member of the squad, the football safety will be attending the team’s training session, potentially missing out on the occasion. Surely, Simone Biles wouldn’t feel the greatest about not having her husband around during such an occasion, but she has her own plans.

The DICK’S Sporting Goods store in Houston has chosen the Olympian for their latest campaign. The gymnast was given the opportunity to decorate the store in her city, and as seen in the video, she made a small decoration and posed in front of the four pine trees that had a Christmas look to them. There were also two golden-coated goats wearing gold medals, representing her status in the sport. Furthermore, DICK’S Sporting Goods and The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation will award Biles a $100,000 Sports Matter grant, which she will use to donate to local sporting organizations that support young athletes in Houston.
