Are Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens redefining what it means to be a sports power couple?

Sweet reunion! After spending months on the road with her Gold Over America Tour posse, Simone Biles is finally free to spend some time at home with her husband Jonathan Owens. And what better way to relax than to watch a thrilling game of basketball? As the Chicago Bulls host the Minnesota Timberwolves at the United Center tonight, it looks like the athlete power couple has found the perfect event to catch up with each other’s lives.

The official Chicago Bulls X account shared a picture-perfect snap of Biles and Owens sitting jubilantly among the crowd from tonight’s high-stakes match. Captioned, “We got a GOAT and a Bear in the house,” the photo is a testament to the loving relationship that the 7x Olympic gold medalist shares with her NFL celebrity beau.

The Bull’s social media update was a testament to the pride Biles has brought to the country over the years and a nod toward her enigmatic performance in Paris earlier this year. After the fiasco that ensued in Tokyo three years ago, many thought that Simone had reached the end of her career. However, at 27 years old, the Simone Biles native proved the naysayers wrong and walked away from the 2024 Paris Olympics with three gold and one silver. And now, the Chicago team once again reaffirmed her GOAT status, along with nodding its hat at the Chicago Bears’ safety Owens.

While Owens went for a comfortable all-beige color palette for the match day, Biles instead chose only black items from her wardrobe. Well, almost. Simone’s vibrant knee-high red boots added a dash of color to her looks and made her stand out from the crowd. Also, you can’t possibly miss out on the Gucci handbag Biles flaunts. The couple could be seen beaming broadly as they sat down to experience a titillating game (which the Timberwolves won 135-119, as predicted by many pundits beforehand). But place your bets on the greatest gymnast of all time to look dashing, wherever she is!

This year’s quadrennial tournament was indeed special for Biles. Not only was she aiming to silence her critics once and for all, but it seemed like she was also trying to assure herself that the “twisties” gnaw her skills away. However, considering how her form looked in the months ahead of the games, including at the Team Trials, it was already pre-ordained that Biles was flying to Paris with an intense thirst to satiate. But her triumphant Parisian campaign didn’t complete her comeback arc. Instead, Simone Biles hit the road soon after, along with her national teammates.

The second edition of the Gold Over America Tour was highly anticipated. One of the main reasons for the same was that this time, the men’s gymnasts were also to be included in the roster, making the hype around the pop-styled show intense. Biles noted that this move was made with the thought of bringing more exposure to male gymnastics and mentioned that it was a risky decision. And now, after an exhaustive run across the world and the USA, it looks like Simone finally has some time on her hands to spend together with her bae. How do you think they’ll make use of the opportunity? Tell us in a comment!
