Jonathan Owens once described Simone Biles and himself as a “match made in heaven,” a sentiment that resonated with their well-known love story. While their romantic tale is widely recognized, the depth of their support for each other often goes unnoticed. However, beyond the public story of their romance lies a lesser-known tale of unshakable support and solidarity. Simone and Jonathan have consistently stood by each other’s side, a commitment that was particularly evident throughout the past year.

During Jonathan Owens’s 2023 NFL season with the Green Bay Packers, Simone stood by his side, attending almost every game to show her support. She even wore a necklace with a “J” for Jonathan, proudly showing her commitment. However, as Simone gears up for the Paris Olympics, her recent podcast appearance on “Call Her Daddy” hinted at another facet of their relationship. In the interview, she subtly hinted at underlying tensions, taking a veiled jab at both the NFL and her husband Jonathan Owens, suggesting there might be more to their story than meets the eye.

Despite Jonathan’s current focus on negotiating a new contract with the Chicago Bears, Biles remains optimistic about the possibility of him taking time off to be present at the Games. This highlights the couple’s unwavering dedication to supporting each other’s aspirations. However, Biles didn’t stop there; she delved deeper into the realm of sports, particularly addressing the absence of football in the Olympics.

She shared Jonathan’s perspective, noting his belief that football is a “harder sport and universal”. Yet, she pondered, ‘Why isn’t it in the Olympics?‘, questioning its exclusion when not every country participates in the sport. With just 99 days remaining until the Paris 2024 Olympics, there’s intrigue about whether Owens will be in Paris to support Biles. But Biles had not made her competitive gymnastics debut this year till now.

Over the years, they have formed a special friendship, reflecting the warmth and companionship that defines Biles and Owens’ relationship.
