The Chicago Bears safety, Jonathan Owens, who went undrafted out of Missouri Western, has carved out his place in the NFL over the last few years. Known for his tackling and consistency on the field, Owens has earned a role as a reliable piece of the Bears’ defense.
Away from the game, Owens shares the spotlight with his wife, Simone Biles. Widely regarded as the greatest gymnast of all time, Biles has become just as recognizable for her unshakable support of Owens as for her record-breaking achievements.
The couple has become one of sports’ most admired pairs, balancing their demanding careers while showing up for each other whenever possible. Biles is often seen in the stands or on the sidelines, offering encouragement during her husband’s games.
Biles has traveled frequently to watch him play, making her presence a regular part of Owens’ NFL journey. That continued on Sunday when the Bears faced the Raiders in a tense matchup that came down to the wire.
Cameras caught a heartwarming moment between the two. Biles stood on the sideline as Owens approached her and the two shared a kiss that quickly made the rounds online. Biles wore Bears merchandise customized with Owens’ number 36 printed on the arm.
The NFL’s official Instagram account shared the video on the platform, which was later reshared by Biles on her Instagram story.

The Bears registered a 25-24 win over the Raiders. Heading into the fourth quarter, they were trailing 21-16, but securing nine points in the last quarter helped secure an important win for the Bears. This was only their second win of the season after starting with back-to-back losses against the Minnesota Vikings and the Detroit Lions.
Jonathan Owens Opened Up About Meeting Simone Biles for the First Time
Simone Biles is arguably the biggest name in the world of gymnastics. A decorated athlete with seven Olympic gold medals, she is the best the sport has ever seen. Despite her fame, Owens was unaware of who she was when he first saw her.
During an appearance on The Pivot Podcast in 2023, Owens said that the first thing he noticed about Biles was that she had a lot of followers. That was the first indication for him that Biles was “good”.
“When she won the Olympics, I was in college, and we didn’t have NBC. We didn’t have Olympics channels and we’re in camp. We’re in camp in late July, early August,” he said. “So, I’m not paying attention…I’m like, ‘Lemme see who this is.’ I never really paid attention to gymnastics, so it piqued my curiosity.” (10:38)
Owens was criticized online for telling the truth. Many fans thought that he sounded ignorant while talking about not only his wife, but also one of the greatest athletes of all time. But the outside noise didn’t affect their relationship at all as they’re still going strong.
