Has Simone Biles taken on a side gig as an NFL advisor? It sure seems like it! Well, Simone Biles recently shared how her husband, Jonathan Owens, has taken an interest in gymnastics, saying, “He loves to learn the sport.” It’s funny because Owens himself admitted back last year that he never really paid much attention to the sport before. Now, married to the greatest gymnastics legend of all time, he’s definitely getting a crash course! While he’s learning about Biles’ world, at the same time, Owens is still making a name for himself on the football field as a safety for the Chicago Bears.

Just a couple of weeks ago, Owens had a big moment when he recovered a blocked punt and returned it for a touchdown, marking the Bears’ first of the season. This isn’t new territory for him, either—he also scored a fumble recovery touchdown last year with the Green Bay Packers. His big play came just when the Bears needed it, helping them bounce back from a 17-3 deficit against the Titans. Owens’ touchdown got the team rolling and set the stage for a 24-17 comeback win.

In a recent interview with ET Online, the host brought up the topic of Patrick Mahomes who revealed that Travis Kelce shares his playoffs with Taylor Swift. The conversation then shifted to whether Simone Biles does the same with Jonathan Owens. Simone responded, laughing, “Oh, I definitely do, and he’s like, ‘You know what, babe, you have no idea what you’re talking about,’ and I’m like, ‘You’re right!’ But yes, it does happen, and it’s hilarious.”

Jonathan Owens has recently developed a strong enthusiasm for gymnastics! He traveled all the way to Paris to support Simone Biles and the U.S. women’s gymnastics team during the women’s team event. This trip came during a break from his training camp with the Bears, who granted him a few days off. NBC broadcast footage of him in the arena wearing a Simone Biles T-shirt and jotting down notes in a notebook with a pen, which sparked curiosity among fans about what he might be noting—quite intriguing indeed!

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens’ surprising gymnastics role

Jonathan Owens tied the knot with Simone Biles in 2023, after being in a relationship with her since 2020. During the Paris Olympics, where Simone clinched four medals, including three golds, Owens took on the responsibility of keeping track of her scores on all apparatuses. He conscientiously jotted down notes, a task that was previously undertaken by Simone’s parents.

Simone shared that her parents have always been meticulous about jotting down scores and maintaining records at each competition they attend as a family team. When Jonathan witnessed their dedication during the U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Trials event, he expressed interest in joining in on the action himself. His eagerness to explore and embrace learning encouraged him to adopt the habit of note-taking. Although gymnastics started unexpectedly for him, it has now evolved into a cherished tradition that they all value deeply in their lives.

Jonathan Owens was unaware of Simone Biles’s identity when they connected on a dating app in 2020. At that time, Owens was primarily focused on carving out his spot in the NFL after facing setbacks from going undrafted and dealing with injuries. He wasn’t actively seeking a relationship. However, a friend’s suggestion led him to give a dating app a shot. He was surprised to come across Biles. Although he admitted to not keeping up with gymnastics, his interest was piqued when Biles initiated contact with him.

On the other hand, Simone decided to reach out to Owens after they matched on a dating app. Despite Owens initially having some doubts about it all working out, they quickly clicked on their first date, laughing and chatting the night away. That unexpected spark blossomed into a relationship that led to their wedding last year. Now, both of them are excelling in their respective sports seasons! Despite their busy schedules, they manage to be each other’s biggest cheerleaders. Biles supports Owens at Bears games, while Owens celebrates every achievement of Biles in return!
