Olympic Icon Becomes Fixture at Chicago Bears Games
Simone Biles has evolved from a decorated gymnast into one of the NFL’s most visible and stylish supporters, regularly gracing the sidelines of Chicago Bears games to cheer on her husband, Jonathan Owens, the team’s safety.
The couple, who married in April 2023, have made headlines throughout the 2025-2026 season not just for their relationship, but for Biles’ commitment to supporting Owens’ career. Since the Paris Olympics, she has become a consistent presence at Bears games, frequently spotted in custom outfits featuring Owens’ name and jersey number, 36.
Fashion Meets Function on Game Days
Biles has garnered significant attention for her game-day looks, often wearing monochromatic outfits and custom coats emblazoned with her husband’s image and jersey number. Her style choices have become as much a part of the Bears experience as the plays themselves, demonstrating a level of dedication that resonates with fans.
When the Bears faced the Green Bay Packers recently, Biles stepped out in a sleek furry brown coat featuring Owens’ number and image, paired with a suede bag to complete the look. These aren’t just fashion statements—they’re visible declarations of support for her husband’s professional endeavors.
Building a Life Between Two Homes
Biles and Owens have spent the past two years splitting their time between Chicago and Texas, where they recently completed a custom lakefront home in Spring after more than five years of construction. The couple purchased the land in 2020 and began their design process that same year, with construction breaking ground in February 2022.
The project faced numerous delays, with the couple originally expecting a nine-month build timeline. However, Biles noted that “They lied when they said nine months to build!” Despite the extended timeline, the home was finally completed on November 11, 2025, featuring luxury amenities including dual laundry facilities—a practical touch Biles explained was necessary since both she and Owens prefer doing laundry on the same day.
A Past Controversy, A Present Focus
The relationship between Biles and Owens has not been without its share of public scrutiny. In December 2023, Owens made controversial comments on The Pivot Podcast, stating he was “the catch” in their relationship and that he initially resisted commitment. These remarks sparked widespread backlash online, with critics arguing that he was diminishing his wife’s accomplishments as the most decorated gymnast in Olympic history.
Biles later addressed the controversy on the Call Her Daddy podcast in April 2024, revealing that while she initially found the comments humorous, they ultimately hurt her feelings. However, the couple has since moved forward, with Biles continuing to demonstrate her support publicly and enthusiastically throughout the NFL season.
Looking Ahead
Whether the Bears advance further in the playoffs or their season ends remains to be seen. What’s clear, however, is that Biles has fully embraced her role supporting Owens’ career while maintaining her own identity and accomplishments. She continues to show up, dressed to impress, ready to celebrate her husband’s professional achievements—proving that being an NFL spouse and an Olympic legend aren’t mutually exclusive identities.
