As Simone Biles celebrated her 27th birthday, family members took to social media to share tributes to the athlete – including some adorable photos from her childhood.

She added a second picture of the two together, which saw baby Simone putting an arm round her sister’s shoulders with that signature grin.

Her sister wrote: “Happy Birthday to my built-in best friend! 27 looks great on you sister”, adding: “Thank you for always looking after me, supporting me and keeping me mostly sane”.

She signed off the post, saying: “ilysfm you’re the best big sister” with a heart emoji.

Her husband Jonathan Owens also shared a birthday message for the 27-year-old, accompanying photos of them kissing on the beach.

“Happy birthday to the most beautiful soul, my amazing wife. So crazy to me how life aligns you with the person that you’re meant to be with, you’ve made me a better man in so many ways I can’t explain it.”

“My heart, my rock, and my best friend all in one. I love you so much baby, this is going to be a special year for you and I can’t wait to support you every step along the way”, he added.

Recently though, the Safety football star moved to the Chicago Bears. Simone wrote on Twitter: “So incredibly proud of my husband”, she added: “The grind never stops! This is just the beginning!”

Furthermore, Jonathan Owens shared their virtual meeting with the world and clearly expressed that they are able to manage their long-distance relationship with no effort. They can be present in each other’s special moments, and would continue to do so.

Triumph over distance: The mutual support that keeps them strong

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens have always been proving the world wrong together. They both celebrate each other’s achievements with pride. One incident can prove this, when the gymnast was seen wearing her husband’s Jersey number during his match with 49ers. Jonathan Owen’s valentine tribute to his wife, where he called her as his “Rock”, depicts his side of love.

However, as the couple step into a long-distance relationship now, they are making sure nothing finds its way between their unmatched support for each-other to turn challenges into opportunities and dreams into reality.

How many of you can recall instances when Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are at loggerheads? Albeit not much, it did happen once. A few years back, yet to be married Biles and Owens faced each other in a rope climbing contest. The race, featured in the docuseries, “Simone vs Herself”, found Simone defeating her then-boyfriend Owens in the contest of strength. Owens had to confess, “I just — I burned out.” But even Owens also has his forte while competing against Simone!

In a recent candid interview, Owens discussed his recent contract with the Chicago Bears and his life with Simone Biles. There Owens spilled beans about having an edge over Simone Biles in a ‘competition’.

The dynamics of elite-athlete relationship

In an interview with Fox32 Chicago Bears safety, Jonathan Owens disclosed some interesting details about his couple rivalry. NFL player divulged about his relationship with his wife at Halas Hall on March 15. When asked what these two top athletes do together, Jonathan Owens said, “We Compete at iPhone Darts at an elite level”. During the discussion he was asked who wins, “I mean, I win the majority of the time,” Jonathan claimed. He also gave some more captivating insights into his connection with his wife.

That, the 28-year-old Footballer opened up about the normal things that he wants to do with his better half Biles. “We want to go out and eat dinner and stay at home and sit and chill, play with the dogs. It’s nothing really that we do that’s just so much crazier than the next person versus just how much we train,” Owens added further. Apart from talking about their special bond, Owens also claimed that when he spends time with Simone Biles, they hardly ever discuss sports. The most decorated athlete couple discuss their days, their debriefs, and the newest events, when they are together. Interestingly, Owens also came out clear about the comparison between the careers of the two.

No ‘real’ competition between the couple

Although Biles and Jonathan compete in iPhone darts, in reality, there is no competition between them regarding their careers. The focus was mostly on Simone Biles when she traveled to see Owens perform. Despite all the attention, Owens never felt envious.

Clearing the air Owens said in the latest interview, “I’m secure with myself. Me and Simone got together when I was on practice squad … it’s like a respectful thing people give that they always mention my wife first, just because you always want your wife on this pedestal. I love her. I support her man, and it’s no jealousy,” Simone has also given him back.

Simone has always been on her toes, expressing her support for Owens. And it seems that now the Bears are also in the fold of that. Owens stated that there is already testimony that Biles’ willingness to join the Bears is being warmly welcomed by the team’s supporters. “It gives you more of an encouragement to go out there and throw your body on the line for them, Me and my wife man, we both super excited, “ Owens further added. Fans indeed have never failed to cherish the public appearance of the couple.

True love sees no boundaries, and career differences are one of them. In a bold and confident move, Simone Biles‘ husband Jonathan Owens has taken a stand against the ongoing criticism focused on his wife’s career. Biles, a four-time Olympic gold medalist, continues to make headlines for her exceptional achievements in gymnastics. Alongside, she has also become a target of intense scrutiny and judgment from critics.

Jonathan Owens recently joined the Chicago Bears after his stint with the Green Bay Packers. This once again brings the focus back to the couple’s career. Amid this backdrop, Jonathan has emerged as a vocal defender, challenging critics who seek to make a comparison between their accomplishments in the sporting arena. Owens has stepped into the argument to put an end to the drama and shift the focus back to Biles’ remarkable talent and accomplishments.

Standing strong: Simone Biles’ husband defends her career

Recently, a video interview was posted by Fox32Chiacago, where Jonathan was asked about his views on the career spotlight his wife has, to which he responded, “I love it. I don’t care at all”. The 28-year-old continued his answer by adding, “That’s my wife. If anything, it’s like a respect thing that people always mention my wife first, because you always want your wife on this pedestal. I love her. I support her. It’s no jealousy. We both support each other to the fullest.” His response was strong enough to stop all those critics from adding more.

Ever since they got married in 2023, such questions have been asked to the couple, but their responses always prove their strength and love for each other. These two started with a close encounter in the Texans Game in 2019. They then were matched by the dating app Raya in 2020. After that, there was no looking back.

They have had each other’s back every time. During the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Simone Biles withdrew from several events, citing mental health concerns. During this challenging time, her partner, Jonathan Owens, provided great support and stood by her side. Simone reciprocated as well. The latest incident was one more example of that.
