When it comes to amassing attention, nobody does it better than Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens. The NFL season is going on and this power couple has been the talk of the town with their shenanigans. This fact is now not hidden from anyone that Biles is the biggest cheerleader of her husband and is seen sharing mushy updates for her husband. From cheering through social media to visiting the stadiums, the gymnast has done it all.

After the recent match of Green Bay Packers against the Los Angeles Rams, Biles couldn’t stop herself from gushing over her husband. Her recent social media update sums up her feeling after the terrific win. This couple never fails to set an ideal couple goal for the world and even this time Biles successfully did it with her appreciation note.

Simone Biles shares a heartfelt note for NFL husband

The fan base of Biles goes gaga every time she comes up with an update full of love for her husband. This NFL season has seen multiple cute moments of the couple. Be it the game, gymnastics events, or the Halloween holiday, the couple turned heads with their bond. After Jonathan Owen’s win against the Rams, the entire NFL community is proud of the team and so is the gymnastics queen. She shared a heartfelt note on social media that made all her fans go awe.

Simone Biles

She reposted a video of Owens on her Instagram story which carried a spectacular moment of a touchdown from the previous game of the Packers that was knocked free by Owens. Biles expressed herself by stating, “So proud of you @jowens with a heart emoji”. No matter what the result for any match of Owens is, Simone never fails to extend her support and cherish the talent of his husband. To support her husband, she also flew down to the stadium fighting the extremely cold weather of Green Bay and cheer the loudest for her man.

The gymnastics queen stuns the world with her gesture of support

Simone Biles in her off-season is still ruling the headlines for her beautiful connection she shares with her husband. In the previous match of Packers against the Minnesota Vikings on the 29th of October, Biles couldn’t hold herself back from visiting the Lambeau field and being the biggest cheerleader of her husband.

While Owens was playing, she was seen gracing the VIP box with her presence and the couple was the highlight of this game. This step by the Olympian attained a negative reaction from the internet comparing to the Taylor-Travis connection. However, ignoring the negatives, she did her best to focus on her love life and keep extending the support towards her husband.

I want Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce to get all they can out of their relationship. I hope Simone Biles and Green Bay Packers safety Jonathan Owens have a long and productive marriage. I wish we lived in a world in which the level of coverage around these two power couples wasn’t dictated by their race.

Swift is a household name and a megastar. But there’s no way in hell that the greatest gymnast of all time — who has won this country countless medals — should be overshadowed whenever the two women show up to cheer their men on in person. Look around, there are enough “media outlets” to give both women the attention they, and their relationships, deserve.

“In my neighborhood, there are four Black people. Hundreds of houses, four Black people,” said Chris Rock in his 2008 HBO standup special Kill The Messenger.

“Me, I’m a decent comedian. I’m alright. Mary J. Blige, one of the greatest R&B singers to ever walk the earth. Jay-Z, one of the greatest rappers to ever live. Eddie Murphy, one of the funniest actors to ever, ever do it. Do you know what the white man that lives next door to me does for a living? He’s a f*cking dentist.”

That sentiment is how I feel about Biles whenever she shows up at games. She’s the greatest to ever do it in her profession, yet the fanfare whenever she shows up at NFL stadiums is nowhere near what happens when Swift — who is nowhere close to being the greatest female or male pop star in the history of music — arrives.

Like most men, the NFL doesn’t care about Taylor Swift — or women. The NFL only cares about what Taylor Swift — and women — can do for them. And at this moment, Swift is great for business. According to NBC, because of Swift, the Chiefs’ Week Four Sunday Night Football win over the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium was the most-watched Sunday show since last season’s Super Bowl. The game drew an average audience of 27 million viewers and peaked at 29.4 million. The numbers also showed that the game drew an additional two million female viewers.

“[Taylor Swift’s] stature is such that when she does something people follow,” Marcus Collins, professor of marketing at Michigan Ross School of Business, told Yahoo Finance last month. “She’s influencing a group of people and those people are influencing each other and other people. There’s a network effect that’s at play.

“There was a consortium of people that tuned into these games that the NFL doesn’t typically reach,” he explained. “Those people are showing up not because they’re fans of the NFL, which means that the league is now benefiting from this new meaning associated with it.”

The Swift Effect can’t be ignored, as she’s long proven her worth. But, let’s not act like Biles is just out here doing cartwheels.

“Simone Biles isn’t most gymnasts,” wrote Bleacher Report’s Tyler Conway last month. “The American superstar pulled off arguably her greatest feat yet during Sunday’s World Championships, becoming the first woman to pull off the Yurchenko double pike in international competition. The move will now be christened the Biles II. Earlier this year, Biles became the oldest woman to win the U.S. Gymnastics championships. She’s the oldest woman to make the United States roster for the World Championships in over 50 years.”

In 2021, Time Magazine named Biles as the Athlete of the Year. But, we know why Al Michaels isn’t stumbling over his words and talking about Biles during broadcasts like he does with Swift.

This isn’t a knock on Swift or the popularity that she’s deservedly earned. I also understand that Kelce is a bigger star than Owens. But, Russell Wilson was once the face of the NFL, too. And his marriage to R&B/pop singer Ciara hasn’t garnered anywhere near the same attention.

Gymnastics queen Simone Biles never shies away from extending her support and cheering for her husband Jonathan Owens from the stands. And hence, despite being wary of the minus mercury levels of Wisconsin, Biles graced her presence at Green Bay to cheer for the NFL safety. Now, as the Thanksgiving season is just around the corner, Biles might just have another gift for Jonathan Owens, as she learned a thing or two about her husband’s field of play.

After facing defeat from the Minnesota Vikings on 29th October, the Green Bay Packers stood victorious against Los Angeles Rams on November 5. Interestingly, Packers lead the scoreboard with the score of 20-3 against Rams. Following this, Simone Biles took to her social media handle to express her elation about the things she learned about NFL.

Simone Biles joins the Green Bay Packers fandom

Simone Biles took to her X handle to show support for her husband’s team. In one tweet, she wrote, “Not me starting to understand football.” In a reply to the same thread, she added the words, “Who am I!!” That was a signal to the world that she is now getting hold of all things football.

In addition to those, Simone Biles wrote in an earlier tweet, “Go Pack Go.” It is precisely what impact Biles watching NFL games from the stands would have had. Simultaneously, Jonathan Owens is girded up to clinch this year’s Vince Lombardi trophy by presenting his best foot in the playoffs. By standing atop the podium in the playoff against Rams, the Packers is all set to lead the scoreboard

Great performance from Jonathan Owens against the Rams

Simone Biles’ husband Jonathan Owens had a standout game for the Packers. Owens had one sack and five tackles overall. He also recorded three assists on tackles. The Packers’ defense missed a number of players against the Rams. Even so, the Packers clan made sure their absence was not felt. They recorded their second-best biggest win of the nine-game-old season after the 38-20 win over the Chicago Bears in game one.

The win ended their streak of four losses in succession and was their most convincing one of the season so far. The Packers remain in third position in the NFC North table.

Presently, they have the 5-4 Vikings and the 6-2 Detroit Lions ahead of them. They will face the 5-3 Pittsburgh Steelers next NFL Sunday. A win would bring them within touching distance of the Vikings. It remains to be seen if they can take the momentum from this win and make an argument to qualify for the playoffs.

The 20-time World gold medallists opens up about life outside her sport as a newlywed to Olympics.com in an exclusive interview

As four-time Olympic champion gymnast Simone Biles stands around the chalk bucket between turns on the apparatus with her Houston-based teammates, of whom Tokyo 2020 Olympic silver medallist Jordan Chiles is closest in age at four years her junior, something feels a little different.

At 26, the newlywed Biles says the conversations have changed from her previous two Olympic runs.

“Does it look a little bit different if we’re talking ‘chalk talk’? Yeah, because I’m like, ‘Well, I’m married. Like, I live with my husband,’ and they’re like, ‘Oh, I live with my parents,’” Biles told Olympics.com in an exclusive interview prior to leaving for the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, underway this week in Antwerp, Belgium.

“They’re like, ‘Well, what are your next steps after this?’ I was like, ‘Well, I have a wedding coming up. I have this,’” continued Biles. “And they’re like, ‘Well, I’m going to prom.’ It just looks a little bit different. I knew I could still do it.”

Simone Bile

That’s putting it mildly.

Biles is just two months into her competitive return, having competed at her first event since the Tokyo Games in early August. In Tokyo, Biles won team silver and balance beam bronze after priortising her mental health and withdrawing from four individual finals.

In her short time back, she’s added a historic eighth national all-around crown and qualified to a sixth World Championships.

Biles has only seen action on two days of competition in Antwerp and already she’s accomplished history: adding her fifth named element, a Yurchenko double pike vault, now called the Biles II during the women’s qualifying round and leading Team USA to a seventh-straight World team gold medal in Wednes, something no men’s or women’s team has ever accomplished.

“People think if you’re a wife, you can’t be a professional athlete, you can’t be a gymnast, you can’t do whatever,” Biles told us. “And I came to the realization, like, yeah, I can still be a wife and be out there.

Simone Biles had recently clinched her 6th World Title at the 2023 World Gymnastics Championships. However, this is not her first record-breaking event of 2023. On August 27, the 26-year-old earned her 8th National Title at the US Xfinity Gymnastics Championship, while smashing the 90-year-old record of Alfred Jochim. Her displays were nothing short of magic being woven on the mat.

Donning a black GK Elite leotard, as the WCC gymnast claimed three titles on Day 2, admirers left their seats to applaud her. During her title-winning balance beam and floor exercises, several cameras hovered around to capture her gymnastic movements. However, one talent among them took the internet by storm.

Simone Biles’ frame-worthy snaps

Motion photographer Hayden Sahli has captured hearts and a decent following with his stunning portfolio. Having over 2k followers on Instagram, Sahli’s feed looks nothing but dreamy. His photos don’t just assert his expertise as a photographer, but a great editor too. The vintage and grainy tone of his photos give an earthy look. In the same vein, his photos of the Olympian gained him more love recently.

Captioning it as “New work” and tagging Team USA and Simone Biles, the photographer posted two shots. The first photo featured the 4X Olympic gold medalist looking sideways with firm determination to make a mark. Her sharp facial features looked beautiful, complimenting the big lashes, arched eyebrows and glossy nude lips. The second snap had the gymnast in-between her title-grasping floor routine.

In response to Hayden’s effort, Biles shared the post as her Instagram story. Though she didn’t add a caption, but her gesture asserted that she’s highly impressed. Thanksgiving being just 17 days, the Olympian cherished her early gift from a devoted fan.

Last year this time, Jonathan Owens was her fiance. Since before the pandemic struck, the NFL safety has been caring for his partner with all his heart. Sharing mutual love for food and sense of humor, the two came close. As days turned into months and months into years, the then-boyfriend celebrated his love on 2022 Thanksgiving.

Owens’ note of celebration

Indulging in unabashed laughter while the lady held on to her man’s arms, the two shared a beautiful moment. The next pictures featured the couple being all romantic on a beige couch. Biles wearing a beautiful black dress with stilettos, and Owens in a grey suit, the duo showed off their diamond accessories. Their vogue moment captured eyes, but the Packers’ safety’s caption reading, “You deserve the world with a bow. So thankful for you,” caught more attention.

In response, the 7X Olympic medalist showed gratitude and expressed love with her own set of pictures. She wrote, “grateful. thankful. Blessed.” The spark in the then-bride-to-be’s eyes shows even now, at this day, after months of their official marriage.

Ahead of the big game in 2024, cute surprises don’t hurt. Especially for a gymnast of such a measure with a huge fanbase, gifts are an everyday thing. In a way, the 26-year-old maintains sanity by enjoying immense love and admiration from fans.

Here’s hoping when Tom Bergeron thinks about Simone Biles, he smiles.

The former “Dancing with the Stars” host recently reflected on an on-air clash he had with the Olympic gold medalist when she was participating on the reality competition show in 2017.

During the infamous Season 24 moment, Biles didn’t hide her frustration when the “DWTS” judges mostly bashed her Paso Doble performance with her dancing partner, Sasha Farber.

In response to her unhappy facial expression, Bergeron told Biles: “I was waiting for you to smile at some of the compliments. You didn’t.”

Biles responded: “Smiling doesn’t win you gold medals.”

Bergeron spoke about Biles tumbling all over his ego on Cheryl Burke’s “Sex, Lies and Spray Tans” podcast Monday.

About 50 minutes into the episode, Bergeron said his remark to Biles about smiling was one of the “rare times when I spoke before I thought” while he was hosting the live show.

He went on to say that although judges Bruno Tonioli and Len Goodman were being “harsh” towards Biles while critiquing her dance routine, judge Carrie Ann Inaba was “very complimentary.”

He then went on to claim that while Tonioli and Goodman were piling on Biles, a “DWTS” producer said in his earpiece, “‘Wow, she’s not even smiling at Carrie Ann’s compliments.’”

“So instead of saying, ‘Simone, what’s your reaction to the judges’ comments? Now, Carrie Ann was complimentary and the other two less so.’ Instead of saying that, I had that last thought from [the producer] in my head, and I went, ‘I noticed you didn’t smile,’” Bergeron recalled. “Now what woman wants to hear a guy say, ‘Hey, sweetheart, smile!’” he said. “The moment it came out of my mouth, I thought, ‘Oh, you [idiot].’”

He admitted that Biles had the perfect retort to his remark.

“I was so properly put in my place,” Bergeron said, noting that Biles later had a T-shirt made with the phrase, “Smiling doesn’t win gold medals,” and Bergeron suggested they take a photo together with her wearing the shirt.

“I stood next to her looking very sheepish while she wore that wonderful shirt, and we put that on social media and everything,” Bergeron said. “But that was one time when I wished I had taken a beat, translated what I heard in my ear and put it in my own words.”

Biles didn’t win her season of “DWTS,” but she’s completely killing it in her sport as of late.

After a two-year absence from gymnastics, Biles won the individual all-around title at the world championships for the sixth time earlier this month.

Biles now has 34 medals across the world championships and Olympics, making her the most decorated gymnast ever at the sport’s two signature events — and that’s something to truly smile about.

Simone Biles and her husband Jonathan Owens are feeling the love this fall!

The couple recently posed for an adorable autumnal photo shoot in coordinated black ensembles, and the pro gymnast posted some of the stunning shots on her Instagram feed on Friday.

For the shoot, Biles, 26, paired her black leather jacket and boots with a black minidress and tights. She also wore her diamond necklace with the spouses’ shared surname, “Owens.”

Owens, 28, meanwhile, matched his wife in an all-black casual ensemble and added a gray and black houndstooth print coat for a color contrast.

In the photos taken in Green Bay, Wisconsin, the pair can be seen holding hands and gazing into each other’s eyes as they walk through a field of fallen copper-colored leaves. They even showed off their rings in the last snapshot in the series

“‘Tis the season,” Biles captioned the post, adding a series of fall-related emojis including a scarf, maple leaf and red apple.

“You look so amazing baby 🧡,” Owens complimented his wife in the comments section.

The Green Bay Packers safety also shared some of his favorite photos from the shoot on his own Instagram account, which included a wardrobe change.

Biles took off her tights and swapped her black leather boots for a white pair in the cover photo of Owen’s Instagram carousel. She also opted for a puffy white-and-black checkered coat instead of her all-black leather outerwear.

Owens also embraced sweater weather with a fuzzy pullover with a striped monochromatic brown color scheme. “Enjoying all the seasons with you 🧡🍁,” he wrote as his Instagram caption.

After tying the knot in April, Biles and Owens have been navigating their long-distance marriage. In September, Biles opened up about how her gymnastics training has changed since getting married.

“Gymnastics is just something I get to come in and have the privilege of doing. I don’t feel like it’s the end all be all anymore, as before I kind of felt like that. I get to go home to my husband, to my dogs, to my house and all of the things. So it feels really good,” she shared on the Today show.

“It’s been really fun supporting what he loves to do,” the Olympic gold medalist added. “Obviously, he’s in Green Bay right now so my season just ended. I’m super excited to get out there to Green Bay for the holidays to support him.”

Simone Biles became the most decorated gymnast – male or female – USA Gymnastics said on Friday.

Biles won the individual all-around title for the sixth time on Friday defeating the defending champion Brazilian Rebeca Andrade, for the title at the world championships. The win brings her total to 34 medals across the world championship and Olympics, USA Gymnastics said.

On Wednesday, Biles led the U.S. women’s team to a seventh consecutive team title at the gymnastics world championship in Antwerp. Since 2011, U.S. women have won gold in the team event at every world championship. Clinching that gold medal made Biles the most decorated female gymnast in history – topping Larisa Latynina of the Soviet Union. Her win on Friday catapulted her ahead of retired gymnast Vitaly Scherbo.

Simone Biles

She started out the competition on Sunday with a bang when she completed one of the most challenging vaults in the sport. She landed a Yurchenko double pike, which is assigned a difficulty score of 6.4, higher than any other type of vault. The vault will be renamed Biles II because it was completed in international competition, according to Team USA.

Biles returned to competition in August after taking nearly a two-year break from the sport following the Toyko Olympics. During her time away from the sport, she married Green Bay Packers safety Jonathan Owens and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, becoming the youngest recipient of the honor.

Video posted by Biles on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Friday shows tears coming to her eyes as the Star-Spangled Banner was played.

Simone Biles recently shared pictures of her and her husband Jonathan Owens’ fall photoshoot on social media. The couple, who got together in March 2020, have wowed fans ever since with regular insights into their relationship.

Whether it’s rooting for each other when they are competing, or sharing pictures of their date nights on stories, Biles and Owens have supported each other publicly over the years.

In the fall photo shoot, both Biles and Owens are dressed in shades of black in a field full of golden light and fallen leaves. Biles posted the picture to her social media, captioning the post:

Owens also shared different pictures from the same photoshoot on his Instagram, captioning the post

Earlier, the husband and wife duo celebrated Halloween together, dressed in coordinating outfits. Simone Biles sported a tight purple crop top and skirt with a cheetah print coat.

Meanwhile, Owens wore an all black outfit with a long coat that had cheetah-printed edges. Owens also accessorized with two big chains and a black cane. The couple topped the look off with matching Black and cheetah-print wide-brim hats.

Simone Biles, the prodigal gymnast, balances her family and career like no other. At the recent 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships, the 26-year-old walked home with her 34th medal across Olympics and Worlds. While her partner Jonathan Owens was away for his new NFL season, her parents, Nellie and Ron, graced the VIP box. However, there’s someone special for whom the Olympian’s heart yearned, especially.

Is Simone Biles already a mom? Yes. She is a pet mom of two beautiful French bulldogs, Lilo and Rambo. After concluding her anxiety-stricken gymnastic bouts, the 4X Olympic gold medalist returns to her lovelies for a detox. Likewise, her babies eagerly await their owner to come home and snuggle. In the same vein, a recent social media post boasted the pet-owner bonding.

Simone Biles’ quality time with her fur baby

Interestingly, the adorable fur babies of the gymnastic great were captivating so many hearts that their mom gifted them their own Instagram page. Named as The Biles Frenchies, the netizens often spot the bulldogs being their usual adorable selves. But this time, they decided to hijack their mother’s account to snatch her followers’ attention.

Mrs. Owens took to her Instagram to post a story of Lilo and her. Tickling her baby, while boasting her ZoFrost diamond ring, she captioned the moment as “my little baby”. In addition, she also added a teary-eyed smiley, asserting her adoration for the little cutie. While only Biles’s fingers were showing, Lilo looked at her mom with kind eyes, trying to convey her gratitude

The Owens are already taking their fans on virtual dream house tours. But the fur babies are more fortunate than their fans, for obvious reasons. They would get to stay in the new house, which their parents are building. In addition to Lilo and Rambo, the Owens have a third baby named Zeus. When the Green Bay Packers safety stepped into Biles’ life, he was accompanied by Zeus.

Now, the family of five looks as happy as ever, covered in love. While the trio are their parents’ prized possessions, they also cause trouble sometimes. In a post from a while ago, the same Lilo who looked innocent on the couch, tried to impress Mom with spoofs.

Lilo’s little notorious moves

Lilo, born on November 28, 2017, graced the Olympian’s life after 10 weeks of birth. Her then-boyfriend Stacey Erwin Jr. accompanied her to bring the adorable baby home. Right after, an individual Instagram account dedicated to her witnessed the first post by Lilo. It read, “Just a little info: I’m 10 weeks old, 6lbs. & a girly girl. Florida pup living the Texas life.” Fast forward to now, the pet grew up to be a cute trickster.

In an Instagram story from some time ago, Biles showed off Lilo’s newest tricks of hiding. Placing the curtain over his head, the little one saved herself from sunlight, while hiding from mom. It could have either been a new trick that Lilo learned, or she was just in search of a comfortable spot. Biles captioned the story as, “I couldn’t stop laughing earlier, bc Lilo stood like this for a good 3 minutes.”

While the dogs await their GOAT mom’s record-breaking performance, the 26-year-old girds up for the 2024 Paris Olympics. Even if she falls at the mouth of setbacks, her fur babies have her back.
