Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens hold their own as a contemporary sports super couple, but the tale of how they became a thing plays out in movie-plot proportions. They announced their engagement on Valentine’s Day this year. Interest surrounds their recent marriage and how they found each other. However, the question lingers: was their journey as smooth on the surface?

Unexpected turns in Biles and Owens’ relationship sojourn

The Pivot Podcast, featuring former NFL players Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder and Fred Taylor as hosts, regularly has a tête-à-tête about sports, culture and the lives of their guests. The laid-back and easy atmosphere produces revealing interviews with many personalities. Recently, though, a feature of power couple Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens took an unforeseen turn. There was also a question posed to Jonathan about how he felt at the time of dating Simone, with an aside suggesting reluctance. This brought Jonathan to an open moment during which he showed some hesitation, and they laughed as they discussed whether that meant perhaps he didn’t want a relationship with Simone.

Reflecting on his past, he remembered feeling a sense of reluctance towards commitment. “ I was afraid to commit. It was my third year, and I hesitated, thinking it might be too early,” he mused. However, they clicked soon enough. Their first date was filled with an immediate connection, laughter echoing through the night. He recalled when he asked Simone, “Who are your competitors?“ puzzled by her response when she confidently stated, “Myself.” Intrigued, he sought clarification, only to realize that her greatest challenges revolved around personal achievements. He spoke about when he knew she was the one.

A meet cute to be cherished

Jonathan vividly recalled a sweet memory as to when his love for his lady proliferated. As they headed to the event, they impulsively stopped at a top-rated cookie spot to indulge in milk and cookies. Amidst a crowd of mothers and their children, a remarkable pause ensued when they walked by. The kids, visibly excited, requested a photo, leaving Jonathan astonished. Witnessing the unexpected admiration for her amidst the crowd solidified his love. It was at that moment, surrounded by the allure of delectable cookies, that Jonathan realized her undeniable magnetism.

He realized she possessed a unique skill of navigating situations, which he likened to ‘ she is actually the best in the world at flipping the script.‘ Reflecting on their journey, he acknowledged her courage in taking chances, emphasizing that Simone Biles’ success stemmed from her daring approach.

Simone Biles is not afraid of sharing her struggles from on and off the gym floor. Some of the not-so-graceful moments have been shared to Instagram, including some hilarious fails and falls, but it hasn’t always been good times for the American gymnast.

Biles, 26, constantly shares Instagram Stories to reveal a side of her that fans rarely see. The four-time Olympic gold medalist and 14-time World Champion clearly understands that practice makes progress.

With her stellar performance at the World Championships this year, Simone Biles has all eyes glued to her for the ultimate showdown. The Olympic star once made waves with her decision to drop out of the Tokyo Olympics after she suffered from ‘twisties’. However, after a two-year-long hiatus, Biles is back and geared up for a potential Paris Olympics appearance.

Keeping her fans updated on her life and current ongoings, the star makes sure to document everything online. Recently, after cheering out loud for her husband, Jonathan Owens’ NFL performance, Biles is back to her bars and beams. In a series of Instagram stories, the gymnast practiced a bunch of somersaults and leaps in her gym.

The compilation of videos featured Biles performing some incredible stunts on the gymnastics setup. The 26-year-old stunned her fellow gymnasts with her tricks. In a clip featuring best friend Zoe Miller, the camera captured the latter’s hilariously awestruck reaction to the Olympian’s hold on the bars.

A rigorous practice session indicates the possibility of preparing for the upcoming Olympics. While Biles hasn’t put out a clear statement about whether or not she will be participating, she admitted that Paris was definitely the ultimate goal for 2024. This was enough for fans to hope that they would get to see their beloved gymnast drop jaws on the Olympic stage.

Meanwhile, the gold medalist has also been meeting up with her former teammates. Retired gymnasts Aly Raisman and Laurie Hernandez were recently featured in a series of photos with Biles. And while the women seemed to be catching up, one would wonder if things were brewing between the icons.

Currently, for the past few weeks, Biles has been in high spirits owing to holiday cheer and Owens’ NFL season. With a bunch of matches lined up, we know that the gymnast will spend her holidays as a cheerleader.

What’s on Simone Biles’ Christmas wish list this year?

Having recently traveled to New York City along with Zoe Miller, Biles scored holiday goals while watching her husband play. Now back home, the gymnast still remains on a holiday high, with glimpses of her Christmas tree in her stories. But what does her heart truly desire for this December?

In an interview with People Magazine, the star admitted to wishing for a low-key Christmas. All she wanted as a present was quality time with her husband and dogs. And from what the NFL season has been indicating so far, the Olympian is already halfway there with her appearances on the bleachers.

U.S. Olympic gymnast Simone Biles is opening up about growing up in foster care and understanding hardships that kids go through in a new interview with CNN. On Friday, the gold medalist reposted a clip where she candidly and vulnerably discussed her experiences spending several years in foster care when she was a child, along with her three siblings. She tagged the post “foster child.”

“a conversation I had about a [topic] that is near & dear to my heart,” she wrote on her Instagram Story, adding several heart hand emojis as she shared the clip of the interview.

In the clip, Biles explained how she ended up in foster care and spoke about her connection with Friends of the Children, a nonprofit that provides mentorship for children in challenging circumstances. She was recognized by CNN Heroes for her work with the organization, People reports.

“I actually was a foster kid, so I know some of those hardships that those kids go through,” she said. “When my siblings and I entered foster care, it was because our biological mom was struggling with drug and alcohol abuse. I was three years old.”

She recalled that she and her siblings were left hungry at times before being taken into foster care: “I just remember, like, us as kids being so hungry, and then I just remember this cat that would get fed and not like, quite us,” she said. “And so we were taken and thankfully we actually got to stay in one foster home and we were all together…it was some of the best times ever. We were just so excited.”

During her time in foster care, Biles and her siblings Adria, Tevin, and Ashley were visited by their grandparents Ronald and Nellie Biles, CNN reported, and after three years, at age six Biles was adopted by her grandparents—and discovered her passion for gymnastics not long after. (Biles and sister Adria were adopted by their grandparents; their other siblings, Tevin and Ashley, were adopted by Ronald’s sister and raised in Cleveland, Ohio.) CNN reports that Biles came across a gym during a school trip. “I’d never even heard of gymnastics before,” she said. “I was just like, ‘Oh, I bet I could do that!’”

Elsewhere in the interview, Biles said “Having my parents and that support made me who I am today.” She added that her work with Friends of the Children mattered to her because “It gives them love and support, because that’s what these kids need, so to have that one constant means the world to them.”

In addition to being in foster care, Biles was a mother figure at a young age to sister Adria. “I wanted to take care of Adria, obviously, because she was the baby,” Biles said on her Facebook Watch series Simone vs. Herself. “I just felt like I needed to look out for her because if family doesn’t look out for you, who’s going to?” Of her sister, Adria wrote in a 2016 ESPN essay that “She’s also kind and humble, and I’m so proud to have her as my sister.” She added, “I look up to her in every way.”

Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast at the age of 26, has prompted the world to wonder if there’s anything she can’t do. Surprisingly, it turns out there was, and it happened in the world of gymnastics no less.

Simone Biles responds to a challenge set by a German Olympian

In a recent Instagram story, the seven-time Olympic medalist Simone Biles shared a video from the WCC in Houston, where she was seen practicing gymnastics routines with her teammates and coaches. Among the series of stories, one stood out, which showcased the 26-year-old Biles dressed in a black hoodie. She performed a gravity-defying aerial cartwheel on a gymnastics mat while landing perfectly on her feet.

Her caption read, “@pauline_schaefer I finally figured it out” with a laughing emoji. She continued saying, “This one was so tricky for my brain to comprehend.” This clean move by the gymnastics queen came as a response to a challenge set before her by German rival gymnast Pauline Schaefer.

Pauline Schaefer bold challenge to the gymnastics queen

Nearly a month ago, German gymnast Pauline Schaefer, who represented Germany at the 2016 and 2020 Olympic Games, took to Instagram and shared a jaw-dropping spectacle. She posted a slowed-down video of the move recently performed by Biles in a reel captioned, “Don’t be afraid to fail; be afraid not to try! 💥”

Openly challenging the GOAT of gymnastics, Simone Biles, she reposted the reel to her story and wrote, “@simonebiles Are you already able to do it?” while also adding a GOAT ( Greatest Of All Time) emoji.

As both Simone Biles and Schaefer set their sights on the Paris Olympics 2024, Biles’ candid admission of the challenge and the humility she displayed in executing the move highlighted why she is considered the greatest in gymnastics.

Sunday night NFL proved to be a disappointment for Simone Biles who went in to cheer for her husband Jonathan Owens. The star gymnast has created a reputation for celebrating Owens’ every win in style. And despite Green Bay Packers’ loss against Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Biles still rejoiced at the small milestones during the match.

The Olympic hero married her beloved NFL star earlier this year in a grand ceremony. But her role as his personal cheerleader has always been something that fans adored over the years. From sporting his jersey number on her attire to wearing a necklace with his name on it, the star doesn’t hesitate to flaunt her love.

The recent match witnessed Biles sitting and watching the game from her designated area along with her friends. The group of women rang in the match with Jell-O shots. The gymnast was sporting a brown top with Owens’ jersey number 34 on it.

The group celebrated a touchdown with another round of shots, marking positive signs for the Packers’ performance. However, it seems like even Biles’ status as Owens’ lady luck didn’t work out since the team lost to the Buccaneers on a 20-34 score.

Nevertheless, the loss probably won’t deter the gymnast from rooting for her husband and his team. Being an ardent NFL follower for a while, Biles has won hearts among both gymnastics and football fans for her dedicated appearances.

Previously, the star was pitted up against pop sensation Taylor Swift for the wildest reasons. In what could be considered worlds colliding, a recent NFL match saw football, gymnastics, and pop music fans gather. The Green Bay Packers vs. Kansas City Chiefs witnessed a star-studded affair when both Biles and Swift made appearances to support their partners Owens and Travis Kelce.

When an NFL match turned into a glamourous showdown between Simone Biles and Taylor Swift

The Packers vs. Chiefs game turned into a female icons showdown with Swift and Biles in attendance. While both were there to cheer for their respective partners on the opposite teams, fans had other plans in mind. What started as a nail-biting match with many controversial twists in tow, the enthusiasts soon focused their attention on the two women.

Fans turned the match into a Simone Biles vs. Taylor Swift battle, bantering over whom they wished to see the most. All in good humor, the stakes were high with the two stars in attendance. In the end, the gymnast proved to be Owens’ lucky charm as the Packers swept the arena for the win.

As fierce as a competitor Simone Biles is on the grounds of gymnastics, the 7-time Olympic gold medalist knows to have her share of fun intermittently, much to the glee of fans. Biles, who has revealed to have been a playful kid as the smallest, has kept on with her upbeat personality growing up. Be it pulling bets or sharing unserious vlogs, Biles has presented it all. However, today, the gymnast revealed one playful act that could cost her during practice.

For the past couple of months, Simone has been on a break without major contests. The time besides routine practices has let the gymnast fly cities, reuniting, celebrating, and cheering on. And as she continued along the spree, the gymnast encountered an episode reminiscing about practice time trouble.

Simone Biles reminisces about training sessions

Simone Biles, who has taken to posting ‘Get Ready With Me,’ videos, decided to post one on Saturday for Owens’ match against the New York Giants. The gymnast along with Zoe Miller had flown down last Monday to cheer on the Packers’ safety. Following a lively day, Biles began with her content, which was later joined in by Miller. Bare-faced, Simone started out neatly discussing her previous day, the time of the match, and her persisting problem with GRWM. However, mid-way, Miller charming brought in her energy, displacing the calmness of the Tiktok video.

As Biles stepped out of the bathroom beautified to the T to get her outfit on, the clip cut to Zoe all prettied up. “This is a fit check from yours truly,” Miller stated, showcasing her white top, green pants topped off with a white puffer jacket, and thus, the trouble began. “My turn,” entered Biles to stand before the camera. But Miller wouldn’t let it go easy

Battling against the 4’8 gymnast, Zoe had Biles write, “This is LITERALLY why we get in trouble at practice.” The duo’s energy is infectious to those around them. Training in the same center, playfulness has hardly ever distanced itself from the two.

According to Zoe’s interview with Team USA, the two have known each other from a young age. But only by growing older, they have been able to kid around. In one of the episodes, the 2-time Olympian had challenged Miller to an unorthodox celebration dance after her performance at US Classic. Miller said. But “I did it.” The bet cost Biles 200 dollars.

The two are also said to film funny vlogs or Tiktoks when not practicing. “We have a lot more fun because we can relate more. It’s been really nice,” Miller revealed.

Simone Biles, America’s most decorated gymnast, made fans melt when she shared her “best moment of 2023” with them. The 26-year-old has had an extremely busy year, but one moment seems to clearly stand out to her.

2023 saw Biles get married to long-time partner Jonathan Owens before she made a comeback to competitive gymnastics and won four golds and a silver at the Antwerp Artistic Gymnastics World Championships.

Taking to her Instagram stories, the four-time Olympic gold medalist shared a picture of her and Owens’ wedding as her “best moment of 2023”.

Biles and Owens first got together in March 2020 via the celebrity dating app Raya, just as the COVID-19 lockdowns were about to hit. Given that both of them led extremely hectic lives thanks to their respective sports, the time off would have given them a chance to get to know each other better.

The two made their relationship public a couple of months later through a cute Instagram post. Since then, they’ve often given fans a sneak-peak into their relationship, with Biles telling host Hoda Kotb of the TODAY show in January 2021,

Owens proposed to Biles in February 2022, and the duo tied the knot a year later in a courthouse in America, before heading to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for a beautiful ceremony.

It is time for Christmas and the most decorated gymnast comes bearing gifts. Having found success beyond mats and stages, Simone Biles‘ marketing potential has drawn athletics brands and rest alike. Collaborating with Athleta, Gk Elite, or Spieth, the holiday season has brought Biles on an early Christmas present spree for the fans.

In collaboration with Athleta and Gk Elite, Biles recently announced elated surprises catered for gymnastics fans. Newer collections and offers on gym equipment have lately made up for the gymnast’s enthusiasm alongside her followers. And this time around, the streak continues as Spieth puts forth its offer through the 7-time Olympic medalist.

Simone Biles continues the streak

On December 17, Simone took to her Instagram to announce the extended sale by Spieth, a brand she has been in partnership with since 2016. “Super excited to let you guys know that Spieth has extended the sale on my favorite training mats until Dec 24th,” Biles captioned her post. The gymnast posed before a balance beam with a customized mat hung over it. The multi-purpose mat had the signature “Simone Biles” tag embedded beside an outline of a goat accompanying it. Named GOAT Multi-Purpose, the product rightly directed the term toward the gymnastics legend.

Biles revealed that Spieth America products are something she trains ‘on regularly at The World Champions Centre’. The mats come alongside a whole line designed in collaboration with the 2-time Olympian. Called Simone Biles Signature, the collection includes tolls embossed with Simone Biles that the gymnast is said to use in her gym.

Spieth America was one of the first brands to sign endorsement contracts following her 2016 Olympic success. Today, with her persisting growth in the field, the following deals have catapulted the gymnast’s numbers off the mats.

The gymnast finds marvelling numbers off the mats

Simone Biles first struck a notable deal back in 2015 with Nike. The long-term deal brought about a train hopped on by GK Elite. Even before Simone’s Olympics appearance, the latter produced an entire line of Simone Biles leotards and it was only the start. After her 2016 triumph, Athleta, United Airlines, and Visa among many framed the gymnast’s endorsement list.

Trailing along, as the gymnast was set to take the 2020 Olympic stage, she attained a new feat. According to reports, Biles was the highest-paid Olympic athlete in terms of endorsements by the Tokyo Olympics. Between 2019 and 2021, her earnings amounted to $20 million from endorsements. The legend continues her excellence as she treads ahead.
