This year has been a roller coaster ride for the gymnastics queen Simone Biles and her NFL husband, Jonathan Owens. The couple tied the knot earlier in May, and since then they have had major back-to-back life updates come their way. From Owens getting drafted by the Green Bay Packers to Biles’ comeback to the gymnastics floor after nearly 2 years, the two have been constantly on their toes. This also comes with the struggles of long-distance marriage which has been a recurring theme throughout the year for the pair who constantly had to travel for work.

However, the stars have now finally aligned and the two now find themselves reunited after nearly six weeks apart since Biles came home from the World Championships and Owens got a break for the bye week. Biles and Owens’ recent updates on social media have been brimming with love and affection, providing their fans with a delightful glimpse into their lives. And now in the most recent update, Simone Biles gave exciting news for their future together.

Simone Biles shares an exciting future update with Jonathan Owens

In her latest Instagram story, Biles shared an exciting update. She posted a picture giving an update on the dream house the couple is constructing in Houston, Texas. She shared an image of the framework, nearly complete, with stacks of black tiles piled side by side. With excitement, Biles wrote, “Tiles are in!” She then took her followers inside their home, revealing the massive glass window panes and the internal wooden framework almost fully finished, and she wrote alongside her story, “Frames for sliding doors are also in.”

In another story, she showed the view from her window of a lake flowing just beyond the yard, with beautiful wild trees and bushes growing alongside the bank and the area looking serene and untouched, and Biles wrote, “This is my favorite view,” with a heart eyes emoji and a sunset emoji. The couple first revealed their plan to build this dream home when they were still engaged.

The construction journey over the months

Back in March, Biles shared the happy news on Instagram. A picture of Owens and herself on the piece of land, which was then merely a plain site with mud tracks, was accompanied by her caption, “A home is made with love & dreams… Cheers to breaking ground.” Since then, Biles has consistently provided updates on the construction of their dream home. She shared samples of tiles, taking her fans behind the scenes during the plot-clearing process, and documented the transformation of the land from muddy bushes and wild trees to a beautiful canvas for their future dream house.

Videos of the couple exploring their property hand in hand, capturing the moment the foundation was laid, and the progress of constructing an entire house with an upstairs area followed too. Biles shared the experience of walking upstairs for the first time, listing the rooms, “bedroom, game room/wet bar, theatre, bathroom,” and revisited the enchanting lake view from upstairs, noting, “This view will never get old, especially when the sun sets.”

Simone Biles walked home with 4 golds from the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championship. Little did she know that her husband would surprise her as promised. While the 4X Olympic gold medalist set the podium ablaze, her parents, Nellie and Ron, clasped their hands and cheered on her. However, as she slayed with the team gold (169.729), the all-around title (58.399), the bronze and floor title, a part of her heart yearned for home. After getting the special message of “see you in six weeks, ” Owens’ special gift landed at her doorstep. But, besides Jonathan Owens who wishes to make Biles’ days as special as possible despite the distance, the legend has a long list of admirers working towards the same.

It’s no surprise that a gymnast of such a measure rules in cash as well. After bagging several lucrative brand deals, the 7X Olympic medalist makes occasional social appearances for promotional reasons. The star gymnast of GK Elite was recently seen giving a big shout-out to another favorite brand of hers.

Simone Biles has a gem in her wardrobe

The 17.8 billion dollar worth Gucci, the luxury fashion brand, manufactures all things nice. From premium shoes to exclusive handbags, the iconic brand even makes the gymnastic GOAT fall weak. Oftentimes posing in oversized hoodies or “so far so gucci” gym wear, the 8 US National Title holder has another special update.

Simone took to her Instagram handle to post a story featuring a bouquet of colorful flowers. But this time the bouquet didn’t come from her husband Jonathan Owens. It came from Gucci to celebrate her victories. The caption read, “from my girl mel & team gucci.” The appealing bouquet boasted roses, some gorgeous gladioluses and a few more exotic beauties. From the look of it, anybody’s mood would get lit up instantaneously.

Besides the recent floral blessing, the brand-athlete was taken back to her older days when she captioned her post as “G U C C I N I G H T” with her beloved. However, it was her beloved Mr. Owens who came up with the gifting idea first.

After a long wait, the power duo finally reunited for a date night. Due to individual commitments, they mostly limited their relationship to social media banters and cute posts. But the couple never leaves each other’s sides. In a recent story, the Packers legend stepped out for a “Date Night” with his love. Besides wholesome food and conversations, the highlight of the night was a bouquet. The Olympian shared the photo of the extraordinary gift she received from her spouse. In her Instagram story, her pool was visible in the background, probably a glimpse of her backyard. The netizens adored the massive bouquet with burgundy chrysanthemums, light orange garden roses, purple calla lilies, lavender peonies and other flowers. Giving it a magnificent autumn feel, the gift complimented Simone’s caption, “Jonathan bought me the prettiest flowers.”

As both of them are about to disperse again, the recent dream house update grabbed a decent media attention. While Paris plans are afoot, Owens’ NFL journey has a lot in store as well.

There are rare friendships that truly stand the test of time. One such friendship is that of Simone Biles and Rachel Moore. Since starting her career, Rachel has been a steadfast cheerleader and pillar of support for Biles. The two became friends at a tender age, growing up side by side and training as gymnasts at Bannon’s Gymnastix. Since then, they have been inseparable.

Just last year, after Simone announced her engagement to her now-husband Jonathan Owens, Rachel had exciting news of her own to share. Moore was also set to walk down the aisle, announcing her engagement. Simone took to Instagram to celebrate, writing, “Welcome to the fiancé club.” Fast forward a year, and Rachel has shared an update that moved Biles to tears.

Simone Biles left in happy tears

In her latest Instagram story, Simone Biles shared a heartfelt message from Rachel Moore and her husband: Yes, husband! Biles wrote, “My beautiful best friend got married while I was away in Belgium. I’M CRYING, Y’ALL! Such a beautiful couple! I wish you many years of love and happiness! Rachel Roettger, LOVE YOU 2 SM.” Rachel Moore is now officially Rachel Roettger, having tied the knot with her longtime boyfriend, Drake Roettger, on 10/6/23. Regrettably, Simone couldn’t be there in person because she was in Belgium, making history at the World Gymnastics Championships in Antwerp.

Tyson Fury has labelled Anthony Joshua a ‘bum’ and says a potential fight is off the cards.

On October 28, Fury will fight former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou under boxing rules and then he will go straight into an undisputed world title clash with Oleksandr Usyk.

After that, the only major boxing fight left for ‘The Gypsy King’ is against Anthony Joshua, and it would arguably be the biggest of the lot.

The pair have attempted to make the fight on a number of occasions, but for various reasons, negotiations have always collapsed.

Unfortunately, however, with Joshua now having three losses on his record, one against Andy Ruiz Jr and two against Usyk, Fury is no longer interested in the fight.

“I don’t really care what he says, he’s a bum in my opinion,” Fury told Daily Mail Sport Boxing.

“He’s just a big bum dosser who’s been knocked out and had three losses.

“You can’t even compare him to me anymore, it’s not even a fight, I don’t even look forward to fighting him, it’s not a fight anymore.

“I’m not interested. The bubble has been burst.

“Its not so much interesting for me to beat AJ anymore. He’s already been beat, he’s been spanked by Usyk twice and knocked out by a fat man so it’s not of my interest to beat him.

“I’m fighting a guy who’s in his prime who’s a champion, who’s bigger than him, stronger than him and who’s a bigger knockout puncher than him in Ngannou.

“Get to the back of the queue. The fight is off the cards, it’s gone, dead. The fight was off the cards when he got beat.”

Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Juan Mata also among the leading sports names to join the Otro Capital group, which committed to €200 million (£164m) investment into Alpine in June

Rory McIlroy, Anthony Joshua and Trent Alexander-Arnold are among the leading sports stars who have joined the investment group which recently bought into the Alpine Formula 1 team.

In June, Otro Capital announced a €200 million (£164m) strategic investment in the Renault-owned Alpine team in exchange for a 24 per cent equity stake in Alpine Racing

Hollywood actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney were already named as part of the investor group through their Maximum Effort Investments at the time of the initial announcement.

Four months on and a number of additional big names from the sporting world have now joined that group:

  • Patrick Mahomes – Super Bowl-winning quarterback
  • Rory McIlroy: Four-time golf major winner
  • Anthony Joshua – World heavyweight-winning champion boxer
  • Trent Alexander-Arnold – Champions League-winning Liverpool and England defender
  • Travis Kelce – Super Bowl-winning tight end
  • Juan Mata – World Cup-winning Spain midfielder

In a statement, the financial group said that the additional array of investors would “help drive global awareness for Alpine F1 and will further complement Otro Capital’s contributions in areas such as media, sponsorship, ticketing, hospitality, commercial rights management, licensing and merchandising”

Speaking as part of the joint statement, Liverpool and England’s Alexander-Arnold, who attended last year’s British GP at Silverstone, said: “I’m excited to be joining Otro Capital’s group as an investor into Alpine F1 along with my brother Tyler.

“Having been to Formula 1 races as a fan, I love the high-pressure environment of the paddock and I’ve seen firsthand how incredibly impressive the Alpine team is.

Anthony Joshua

 

“Our shared goal as an investment group is to help contribute to its continued success on the grid, at a time when F1 is facing incredible growth as a sport. As a footballer, I understand the importance of teamwork, innovation and determination in achieving goals.”

Joshua, meanwhile, described the move to get involved as “an opportunity I couldn’t ignore”, while McIlroy said that his “passion for excellence on the golf course has led me to admire the same pursuit in Formula 1”.

Although majority owned by Renault, the French manufacturer’s Oxfordshire-based F1 team have run under the name of its sports car brand Alpine since 2021.

Amid a disappointing 2023 season on the track and a turbulent one off it, Alpine are sixth in the Constructors’ Championship and occupy something of a no man’s land between the top five and the rest of the field with five rounds to go.

They are 129 points behind fifth-placed McLaren and 67 points ahead of seventh-placed Williams.

At the Belgian GP in July, the team stunned F1 by parting company with team principal Otmar Szafnauer and sporting director Alan Permane, the big-name departures coming hot on the heels of former Alpine CEO Laurent Rossi being moved on to different projects.

Bruno Famin has since overseen the F1 team, with the outfit aiming to hit back next season and close the gap to the leading teams.

Anthony Joshua’s long-anticipated fight against Deontay Wilder has been delayed once more, with the earliest potential date now set for March, as reported by Mirror UK.

Initially, Joshua had planned to face Wilder in the Middle East either in December or January, but due to the delay, he will participate in an interim bout before the possibility of facing the American boxer in the spring. His most recent fight was in August when he defeated Robert Helenius, only for it to be revealed later that the Finnish boxer had failed a pre-fight drug test.

Furthermore, Anthony Joshua is also being considered for a shot at the IBF world title if it becomes vacant following Tyson Fury’s anticipated undisputed match against Oleksandr Usyk, scheduled for December 23 in Saudi Arabia.

Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, told iFL TV: “He wants to; he really wants to [fight]. We’ve been on calls with him all week. There’s a lot happening with the IBF situation. We’ll have to see. I think he’s going to fight in December or January.

“I think the Wilder fight, realistically, is not going to happen until March or April, at the latest. But he wants to fight. He wants to go back to camp and asked us to try and make him a fight for December; whether that spills into January, we’ll see.”

In the past three years, Anthony Joshua has participated in four fights, winning two and losing two. His back-to-back defeats came in world title contests against Usyk, but he bounced back by defeating Jermaine Franklin and securing a knockout victory over Helenius.

Regarding his most recent win, Joshua commented, “Any time’s a good time to fight. It’s only a fight. It doesn’t matter who it is. It could’ve been Wilder eight years ago or Wilder now. It is what it is at the end of the day.

“There’s no worry to me when it is. I’m just happy that we can get the fight going, and I think people appreciate that. I’m doing my best to keep heavyweight boxing on the map.”

Red Bull’s advisor has been on Checo Perez’s back lately, however, he also has a few words for Lewis Hamilton

Helmut Marko has been very outspoken about his own and his rivals’ concerns. The Red Bull advisor has thrown a couple of jabs at the two unquestionable Mercedes drivers. Marko recently lashed out at Lewis Hamilton and then took turn with Toto Wolff as well.

Lewis Hamilton’s Mistake in Qatar

At the start of the race held in Qatar, Hamilton hit his teammate, George Russell. The Stevenage driver ruined the race of both Mercedes competitors. Afterward, the ’44’ took full blame for the incident at the Losail track. “I have seen the replay of the mishap and I take full responsibility. I apologize to the team and George,” he said humbly.

Well, that came in handy for Marko to criticize the seven-time world champion. “He has finally started to admit the mistakes he makes,” said the veteran manager, speaking to OE24, when it was mentioned that Lewis had acknowledged his failure at the start of the Qatar GP.

Helmut Marko also had some words on Wolff

Now that Max Verstappen is blowing away the competition Marko has been on a high-horse as he was proclaimed a three-time champion in Qatar. While Red Bull is on top of the world, Marko did not hesitate to point out that the Mercedes boss underestimated the Dutchman when he began to emerge as a possible future figure in F1

By the way, Mr. Wolff said he did not see the talent in Max and then preferred to sign Ocon,” referring to the fact that the head of the Brackley team chose to be the representative of the now-Alpine driver. A glaring mistake

Trainer of Terence Crawford, Brian ‘BoMac’ McIntyre, has no concerns over the weight that a rematch takes place between his man and Errol Spence Jr after a dominant display back in July.

Crawford battered Spence from pillar to post from the opening round, getting the stoppage in the ninth round to cement his position as the undisputed welterweight champion and – in the eyes of most – greatest pound-for-pound fighter on the planet.

Since then, Spence has activated his rematch clause and indicated that he would relish the chance to stage the second bout at super-welterweight, after being tight at the 147lbs limit.

However, Crawford has stated that nothing formal has been requested and if that is the case, as per the contract, the second fight goes at welterweight again

In an interview with Fight Hub TV, McIntyre, who was released from a Manchester prison last week, warned Spence’s side that the weight would make no difference to the outcome.

Recent reports suggest that the rematch will indeed go ahead with plans for the duo to run it back in February, although the weight for the scrap is yet to be agreed.

Given the manner of victory the first time, fans will be hard pressed to find an analyst or fighter on the planet that predicts a Spence win this time around.

Tyson Fury has now spoken for the first time about confirmation of his fight with Oleksandr Usyk.

It was confirmed last month that the WBC heavyweight world champion will meet the WBA, IBF & WBO heavyweight world champion in a undisputed showdown in the coming months in Saudi Arabia.

Fury must first get through hit fight with Francis Ngannou on October 28, also in Riyadh.

As a result, he is currently in training camp and has not given any interviews on the announcement.

Over the weekend though, Tyson attended his younger brother Tommy Fury’s win against KSI.

While at the fight, he was accosted by former foe Derek Chisora and gave a brief interview on his Instagram page – the first since it was confirmed that he will be facing Usyk

Fury told Chisora: “Listen I’m not really too bothered about Usyk at the moment because I’ve got big Francis to deal with.

“After that’s dealt with and I get out of there injury-free, in one piece, we’re on like Donkey Kong.

“And I’ll deal with this little guy, I’ll switch him off like a little piece of rain off my shoulder.

“But until that day, I always give every single person I ever fight 100 per cent.

I’ve been training, by the time the fight comes around, for 12 weeks.

“I usually only train for five or six weeks but I’ve been out since December.

“I’ve lost like 150lbs in four weeks just by dieting.”

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are back. The lovebirds have had a roller-coaster year with back-and-forth long-distance marriage for work commitments. Biles wrote, “See you in six weeks,” about a month ago as she headed to Antwerp for the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, while Jonathan Owens was busy with his team, the Green Bay Packers, in the NFL season. And now, the two are finally back together, as Biles came home dazzled with her five medals from the Gymnastics World Championships, four of which were gold, while Owens finally received a break due to the bye week for the Packers.

In the past, when they were reunited, Biles uploaded a video of the two as they grooved in a TikTok video, making a playful “L” sign which stands for “loser”, busting the relationship myth that says, “Be private, keep your relationship off social media.” Simone Biles wrote, “We love showing each other off.” And now, as the couple finally gets some much-deserved time together, a heartwarming update has emerged as they flaunt their love once more.

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens show off their love in styles

In a recent Instagram story by Simone Biles, she shared a cute photo as the pair took a mirror selfie together. Biles wore ripped blue denim shorts with a black shirt and black leather cowboy boots, while her hair was styled in beautiful waves. Owens, on the other hand, wore khaki pants with a white t-shirt and white sneakers, his hair neatly braided.

Biles tagged Owens and put a lock emoji by his name, and the joy was evident as she had a huge smile on her face while the husband stood behind her with his arms around her waist. This endearing picture came just days after the couple was spotted together back in Houston, Texas, for the first time in six weeks

How the two met once more

As Biles made her way from Antwerp, she was first spotted in Adria’s reel. Fans were eagerly waiting for the couple’s reunion. Finally, Owens took to Instagram, where he shared a video of Biles and himself having a “Date Night” and a special meal cooked by Chef James Watford for the two. In another story just hours later, Biles uploaded an image of a beautiful bouquet with fall flowers, mentioning, “Jonathan bought me the prettiest flowers.”

Their cute updates always capture hearts, whether they upload cute TikTok videos, update on the construction of their home, or take vacations together. The two keep flaunting their affection for each other, and it is evident in this latest update.
