“My wife’s a warrior,” said Jonathan Owens when asked about his wife Simone Biles during a press conference after the end of the Paris Olympics. Everyone who tuned into the competition knows about Simone’s victorious four-medal run that completed her comeback in Tokyo. But NFL star Jonathan Owens supported her during every step of the campaign.

He was often seen in the stands while Simone competed, taking notes on a pad—a tradition first started by her parents, Ronald and Nellie Biles, who recorded her scores during competitions. Fans admired Jonathan for this gesture, appreciating the support he gave his wife during such high-stakes events. Now, it seems all that encouragement and note-taking may have sparked his own interest in participating in gymnastics.

In the latest rehearsal for the upcoming Gold Over America Tour show, something unique caught the audience’s eye: Simone Biles was spotting her husband, Jonathan Owens, as he attempted a somersault on the mat. To his delight, he successfully completed the move and celebrated with enthusiasm. Though his technique wasn’t the smoothest—he forgot to tuck his chin in to protect his neck—he still managed to pull off a challenging feat.

This stunt might add another chapter to the couple’s ongoing debate: which is the tougher sport—gymnastics or football? This playful rivalry seems to be a frequent topic in their household, as Simone Biles has discussed it before. She was even asked about it during her appearance on the Back That Year Up podcast, where host Kenan Thompson posed the question of who she thinks is the better athlete in their home.

She chose the route of diplomacy, saying that both of them were good in their respective sports. But, when asked whether they had discussed which sport was harder, Simone had a more concrete answer. “We’ve tried to pin each other against [one another] on, like, difficulty, ability, and all that stuff. So, at the end of the day, gymnastics is harder, if he agrees or not.” She further stated that the couple has had playful fights on this topic.

But Simone further stated proof that gymnastics is better than football. “He has done my workout in the gym, and he could barely do it, and then I went to their NFL workout and I crushed it,” she said. Thus, it is pretty clear to Simone Biles, which is a harder sport. However, this conversation is one of the examples of how jovial their relationship is. It is a sign of their healthy married life.

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens’ relationship moments

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens have a very supportive relationship. Despite controversy in the past because of Owen’s comments claiming that he was the ‘catch’ in the relationship for which he got trolled, the couple never seemed to have any problem with each other. In fact, there have been many instances of them doing cute things for each other.

One of these is when Jonathan Owens asked to be excused from the Chicago Bears’ pre-season training so that he could support Simone in Paris. The team agreed to this, which is why the NFL star could be seen in the stands supporting his wife. Simone Biles has also supported him regularly in his sporting endeavors. When Jonathan Owens played for the Green Bay Packers, she would regularly be seen in the stands cheering for her husband. Thus, her husband returned the favor in Paris.

Another special moment took place during the Milwaukee leg of the Gold Over America Tour. Simone had been away from her husband for quite a long time then. Thus, Jonathan Owens decided to surprise her with his presence and a bouquet of roses. It was a beautiful moment for the couple. They really seem to adore each other a lot. With the NFL season starting and the Gold Over America tour about to finish, we might see more instances of the couple cheering for each other in the future.
