In a recent chat on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Kelly asked Simone Biles, “Snowy Christmas or Tropical Christmas?” Simone’s answer? “Tropical Christmas. I wanna be in a bathing suit.” She added, “We used to actually go away for Christmas to Belize. So like, yeah, my mom just got there on Monday, so.”

Kelly then asked, “Are y’all meeting up?” Simone casually replied, “No, I’m gonna stay with my husband. In the cold.” It’s funny how even though Simone dreams of sandy beaches and warm weather, she chose to embrace the chilly season with her husband as he prepares for his matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.

Simone Biles finds relaxation and enjoyment in spending time with her family. Interestingly, during her 2016 vacation, they even went swimming with sharks on the beach. However, her extended family will not be around this year, but she is looking at the bright side. “This will be the first Christmas that we’ll spend alone together as a couple, which is actually really nice,” she shared.

On the other hand, Jonathan Owens gained some attention during his last season with the Green Bay Packers posting impressive stats. The Chicago Bears did not miss this and signed him to a two-year, $4.7 million contract in the early part of this year. But here’s the catch: even though they’re together this Christmas, they still might not be celebrating it together!

Simone Biles away from her husband too?

The festive season is finally upon us, but this year, Simone Biles will be celebrating Christmas without her man, Jonathan Owens. While it can be difficult to be away from each other during the festive time, it is not a new experience for the power couple. Both have been able to handle long-distance because of their intense athletic schedules in the past. On the other hand, Simone has been engaged in her holiday events, partnering with her DICK’S Sporting Goods store to spread holiday joy to her community, especially the young ones.

DICK’S Sporting Goods stores across Texas have launched a campaign featuring athletes from different cities, with Biles representing Houston. As part of this initiative, she was named the DICK’S Holiday Decorating Officer, giving her a creative outlet during the holiday season. Simone jumped at the chance to deck out the store, adding her signature flair.

In a video posted on YouTube, fans saw her creating a comfortable holiday atmosphere with four chic Christmas trees and two goats with gold coats and medals–her humorous reference to her accomplishments. As the background was full of gifts, it’s understandable how the locals would have an excellent holiday season.

But wait, there is more to the festivities. As part of the campaign, Biles will receive a generous $100,000 Sports Matter grant from DICK’S Sporting Goods and The DICK’S Sporting Goods Foundation. This grant will be given to the local sporting bodies in Houston and will also help young talents and spread the holiday spirit.

While she misses having Jonathan by her side, Simone’s creativity and community spirit make her holiday season a special one, blending celebration with meaningful contributions to those around her.
