Distance, distance, distance—it feels like an uphill battle! But despite the miles between them, Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are a shining example that love can stand the test of time, no matter how busy life gets. Since tying the knot in April last year, they’ve had to juggle their careers—Biles with her gymnastics fame and Owens as a safety for the Chicago Bears.
Even with their plates full, they manage to keep their marriage in tip-top shape. This year, Jonathan Owens continued his tradition of giving back by partnering with the K.W.O.E. Foundation for his third annual Thanksgiving Holiday Drive. The event, held at the BBF Center For The Arts, saw Owens signing autographs for fans and, alongside other volunteers, distributing meals and gifts to 500 families.
Meanwhile, while Simone was celebrating Simone Biles Rising winning a Critics Choice Award for Best Sports Documentary, Jonathan was showing his love in a different way—dedicating his time to supporting the community in Chicago. He shared a series of pictures on his Instagram from the event, showing him and volunteers handing out large bags filled with donations and captioning them, “It’s a blessing to be a blessing.”

Owens could have easily spent this time with Simone, who had just wrapped up her Gold Over America tour, but instead, he chose to roll up his sleeves and get involved. It’s clear he is dedicated to making a difference, showing that giving back is as important as any personal achievement. While Simone was celebrating her own success, Jonathan was busy spreading holiday cheer, proving that love isn’t just about the good times together but also about supporting each other’s goals and uplifting the community, and this makes their fans prouder.
Fans are going wild over Jonathan Owens’ and Simone Biles big move
One fan said, “Blessings on blessings,” and another chimed in with, “This is powerful, Jowen!” But let’s be clear—Jonathan Owens isn’t just Simone Biles’ husband; he’s got his own story. Jonathan Owens entered the NFL in 2018 when he signed with the Arizona Cardinals. However, his rookie season was plagued by a knee injury.
What’s your perspective on:
Does Jonathan Owens' community work make him a bigger star off the field than on it?
Have an interesting take?
In 2019, the Houston Texans signed him to their practice squad, and by January 2020, he had earned a reserve/future contract with the team. But beyond being married to one of the greatest Olympic gymnasts ever, Owens is a pro athlete too. In 2024, the 29-year-old joined the Chicago Bears on a two-year contract. Pretty impressive, right?

Fans are definitely excited about Jonathan Owens being a Bear! One wrote, “So happy you’re a Bear 🐻⬇️💙🧡,” while another said, “So thoughtful of you, to think of others. Let’s Go Bears!” Another fan chimed in with, “Thank you for your off the field contributions to our great city! We appreciate you.” It’s clear that Jonathan has a lot of support, but while he’s making his mark on the field, Simone Biles is making waves in the stands, too.

Even though the Bears lost to the Patriots 19-3, Simone, on November 11, still managed to steal the spotlight. With white skinny jeans, a white Bottega Veneta Cassette bag, and stylish heeled boots, she complemented a custom sweater from Distressed Merch 1of1, which featured Jonathan’s jersey number, the Bears’ logo, and his last name, striking the perfect balance between fashion and team pride.
This isn’t the first time Simone has turned heads with her game-day outfits—last season, when Jonathan was with the Houston Texans, she wore a custom tee by the same brand. Fans couldn’t help but gush over how stylish and supportive she is, and now everyone is looking forward to seeing what the duo will venture into next!
