Unaware Of Simone Biles In Past, Jonathan Owens Caught In Unusual Act At US Gymnastics Championships

Simone Biles’ husband, Jonathan Owens, made headlines last year while appearing on The Pivot podcast. A strong safety for the Chicago Bears revealed to hosts Fred Taylor, Ryan Clark, and Channing Crowder Jr. that when he first connected with Biles in 2020, he “didn’t know who she was.” He candidly admitted, “I’m like, ‘Lemme see who this is.’ I never really paid attention to gymnastics, so it piqued my curiosity.” Fast forward four years since they started dating, and it’s evident that Jonathan has become much more familiar with gymnastics. Especially after witnessing him at a recent event, his newfound knowledge and appreciation for the sport were truly remarkable.

On the final day of the U.S. gymnastics championships, which fell on June 2nd, Simone Biles took to the floor for her performance. Alongside her, in the stands, were her husband, her mom, and her sister, forming a united front of support. However, during her routine, she encountered a minor misstep on her first tumbling pass, specifically during the execution of the Biles II, a triple-twisting double somersault.

Despite this momentary hiccup, her landings remained precise, and her smiles appeared natural as she seamlessly transitioned into her dance moves. Ultimately, Biles secured a score of 15.1, a mere 0.1 lower than her score from Friday night’s performance. Nevertheless, amidst the competition, Jonathan Owens drew attention as a surfaced video portrayed him seemingly taking on the role of an additional judge for Simone’s performance.

Jonathan was captured in a moment of focus in a recent post on X, jotting something down on a notepad with a pen. His attention was fully devoted to Simone’s floor routine, as he appeared to be meticulously calculating any potential missteps. The caption humorously reads, “Jonathan literally taking notes during Simone’s floor routine ajshshshshsbs,” capturing the lightheartedness of the situation.

One fan remarked while observing Jonathan, “I think he’s genuinely trying to understand the sport and how judging works. He’s probably comparing his scores to what the judges give Simone. I actually think it’s pretty cute.” Indeed, this glimpse into their dynamic highlights a mutual effort to comprehend each other’s worlds. Biles herself was spotted last year cheering for Jonathan Owens on the NFL field, and Jonathan reciprocated the support by standing by her side at the recent US Classics, showcasing a beautiful display of mutual encouragement and understanding.

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens’ unbreakable bond

At the US Classics last month, Biles was accompanied by her husband, Jonathan Owens, who proudly cheered her on from the stands. Her heartfelt appreciation for his unwavering support was evident when she took to Instagram after the event, describing Owens as her “whole heart” and expressing gratitude for his role as her best supporter. Their loving bond shines through even amidst the challenges of a long-distance relationship, which they’ve been navigating since their marriage in April 2023.

Currently dividing their time between Texas, where Biles trains, and Chicago, where Owens competes for the Chicago Bears, the couple always finds a way to be there for each other. Despite the geographical distance, they remain each other’s biggest fans, continuously showing up to cheer one another on from the sidelines during their respective sports competitions.
