While Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles gets ready for the 2024 Summer Olympic Games in Paris, her husband, Jonathan Owens, is preparing for a gigantic move of his own. After one season as a defensive back with the Green Bay Packers, the 28-year-old safety just signed a two-year contract to play with one of their biggest NFL rivals, the Chicago Bears.

On March 12, Biles posted a series of shout outs to her husband on X, formerly known as Twitter, for securing his $4.5 million deal. “CHICAGO HERE HE COMES,” she wrote in her congratulatory post.
Biles and Owens met during the pandemic in 2020 and officially tied the knot in April 2023. And although they’ve been navigating a long distance relationship since their honeymoon, they have been incredibly supportive of each other’s careers along the way. Because of their busy sports schedules, time together is precious. But the gymnast is sanguine that her hubby’s move to an international airline hub will make their travel a whole lot easier.
“I’m so excited about not having a connecting flight to go & see my husband hahahahaaha,” she wrote.
Besides being proud of her husband’s modern deal, Biles posted that she loves Chicago and is excited about digging into some of the delicious food the Windy City is celebrated for.
“Pizza & hot dogs F Yeah,” Biles wrote in a March 12 post on X.
Biles went on to thank the Packers fans for their support as they look forward to the next chapter in Owens’ career.
“so incredibly proud of my husband, the grind never stops! this is just the beginning!” she wrote.
