Did Jonathan Owens' miraculous play just prove he's the real MVP in the Biles-Owens household?

On September 8, the Chicago Bears found themselves in need of a special team boost against the Tennessee Titans, and Jonathan Owens, Simone Biles’ husband, delivered in a big way. The Bears blocked a punt, and Owens was right there to recover it, returning it for a touchdown. Biles, watching anxiously, shared her excitement on social media, posting “my heart” when the play unfolded. You can imagine how thrilled she was to see her husband make such a game-changing play!

After the extra point, the Bears still trailed 17-10, but the moment was electric. Biles later posted a video of the play on X, adding, “I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK,” capturing the intense thrill of watching her husband make such a big play.

Unless she literally almost had a heart attack, which, let’s be real, wouldn’t be the most adorable thing, we’re all in for the celebrity power couple dynamic this season. Having the greatest gymnast of all time rooting for the Bears is one of the more entertaining stories of the year. With the ups and downs of being a Bears fan, Biles is already diving headfirst into the emotional rollercoaster—dealing with the classic Bears experience, including the anxiety of watching another highly drafted quarterback struggle.

Good luck to Simone Biles, the 11-time Olympic medalist who’s proven she can handle even the toughest routines. Despite the challenges of watching her husband compete, Biles has managed to juggle her own busy schedule. After dominating at the Paris 2024 Olympics, she’s been hard at work preparing for the Gold Over America Tour, yet she still made sure to find time to support him.

She’s already proven her resilience and adaptability, whether it’s in the gym or cheering on her husband, Jonathan Owens, who has been a special teams contributor in the NFL since 2018. Owens, who married Biles in 2023, had the Bears adjust his training schedule so he could support her during her historic performances in Paris.

Jonathan Owens has really shown his support for Simone Biles, even from across the ocean. While Biles was competing in Paris on July 28 for the Women’s Gymnastics Qualification, pushing through a calf injury to score 59.566 and help the American team reach a total of 172.296, Owens wasn’t there in person right away. The Chicago Bears’ training camp had just started on July 20, so he had to stay behind initially. But after getting the green light from his coach, he made the trip from Chicago to Paris on July 29 and 30 to be with Simone. It’s clear he’s all in when it comes to supporting her!

Owens signed with the Bears in the offseason, and his support for Biles was a major highlight of this season’s Hard Knocks. Owens made it just in time to witness Biles and the U.S. women clinch team gold and to see her make history as only the third woman to win two Olympic all-around titles. After Owens returned to Chicago, Biles went on to secure gold on the vault and silver on floor exercise, bringing her total Olympic medal count to 11. With that being said, it seems this couple is made for each other, teaching us all about love, care, responsibility, and success.
