Jonathan Owens Joins Simone Biles’ Mother and Co to Celebrate Gymnastics’ GOAT’s Latest Sports Illustrated Achievement
Simone Biles has gone from flipping across the mat to flipping the script on what it means to shine beyond the spotlight! Whether she is winning gold medals in the gym or shining with gold-worthy accolades off the gym, she knows how to keep her star shining. This year began on a high note for her as she was crowned the Sports Illustrated ‘Sportsperson of the Year’ on the 2nd of January, and this was made official by a glamorous event on the 7th of January. Now, her family and friends, including her husband Jonathan Owens, her mom, and many more, are showering her with heartfelt words, celebrating the superstar she is.
Jordan Chiles‘ mom, Gina Chiles, took to her Instagram stories on January 7th to share a heartfelt post from Sports Illustrated, showing all the love Simone Biles is getting from her closest people. Her spouse, Jonathan Owens, was all smiles as he said, “Hey baby, I just want to congratulate you on winning your Sports Person of the Year award…. I’m so happy and so proud of you, baby. The determination and all the hard work that you did to get yourself back into this position, to go out there and do what you love again, babe. It’s been so amazing to see you, how much fun you’ve been having. And I just want to say congratulations, baby, and I can’t wait to celebrate with you. I love you so much.”
Simone’s teammate and bestie, Jordan Chiles, couldn’t hold back her excitement: “Congratulations to my big sis, bestie, and teammate…..You are such an incredible human. Everyone should experience the level of support you gave me in their lifetime. You know that saying, if you shoot for the moon, you’ll land on a star. You are the moon, and chasing your excellence pushed all of us to new levels. Your resilience and dedication inspired not just me, but the entire world. I’m so proud of you, and I can’t wait to see what’s next. Biles and Chiles forever. Love you.”
And, of course, the family had their own sweet words. Simone Biles’ mom, Nellie Biles, kept it simple and sweet: “Simone, congratulations. Very, very proud of you….Sorry, we didn’t wear makeup for this, but next time!” Her sister, Adria Biles, added, “Hi sister, we love you. Congratulations, it’s very well deserved.” Even her former coach, Cecile Landi, couldn’t hold in her excitement: “Hi Simone, I just wanted to send you a huge congratulations for this award. So well deserved…..I’m so glad I get to know you inside, outside the gym. You are truly a gem. Love you and see you soon.”
Even Simone Biles herself couldn’t contain her excitement over this incredible milestone! Chatting with Good Morning America on January 2, she said, “Honestly, it is such a huge honor. I know some of the greats that have won it in prior years, so to just keep gymnastics on the map is really exciting.” She added with her signature humility, “I know a lot of people love the sport of gymnastics during an Olympic year and have followed my career closely, but I was still very shocked.” And guess what? This isn’t the first time Simone’s husband and her family have gushed over her jaw-dropping achievements.
Simone Biles receives all the love from her near and dear ones!
On January 2, the gymnastics universe came together to celebrate the newly minted Sports Illustrated ‘Sportsperson of the Year,’ Simone Biles. And one of her biggest supporters was, of course, her husband, Jonathan Owens. The Chicago Bears safety was over the moon excited, as he shared the news not just once, but twice on his Instagram story. One post came with the heartfelt caption, “So proud of you baby,” while the other was simply a string of love-filled heart emojis. Now that’s the husband’s goal right there!
But wait, the love fest didn’t stop with Owens. Simone’s childhood coach, Aimee Boorman, also celebrated her and wrote, “Never Surprised, Always Proud. Congratulations @simonebiles.” Meanwhile, her sister Adria couldn’t help but gush over the jaw-dropping photoshoot by Shaniqwa Jarvis, featuring Simone in a stunning snake-printed outfit.
