Some places hold a special place in Simone Biles‘s heart, and you can count Texas in it. The 27-year-old has had a spectacular bond with everything that comes with Texas. After all, the American state is her abode, and she takes pride in that. However, for her husband, Jonathan Owens, the special place has always been reserved for Missouri. Having grown up in the area, Owens began his college football journey in Missouri too. However, there’s a popular spot on the US mainland map that often makes their favorites list. Can you guess what it is?
Chicago it is! For Jonathan Owens, the Windy City comes with his professional club, the Chicago Bears, and for Simone, the city is the capital of her favorites, pizza and hot dogs. So, Chicago has every element to support the couple’s romantic living. Jonathan’s entry into the Bears earned the couple that chance. But if you keep tabs on NFL happenings, you know about the Chicago Bears’ playoff scenario last year.
It had always been on the cards. No? You can’t expect someone to take a sigh of relief in a world where a single point difference can show the gate of elimination. Well, the Chicago Bears were standing at a record of 4-9 after their matches in the season. Only a miracle could get them into the playoffs in this scenario. Also, Simone Biles’s husband, Jonathan Owens, could have gained a few more matches to don the Bears’ jersey this season and could extend the couple’s stay in their Chicago home. But miracles don’t come in the NFL regularly. And for Bears, there had been a special crunch. So?
Well, the Chicago Bears had to stay at home in the postseason. But safety Jonathan and his wife Simone Biles had no reason to extend their stay in the Windy City. But any special message from Biles before leaving the city? Yes, on January 26, the gymnast wrote a few words on her Instagram story. It read, “farewell to our time in chicago see you in a few months” .The story had a snapshot in the background showing Simone and JO’s hands raising a toast. Special! Isn’t it?
The scene and the words might take the ardent fans of Simone Biles or the Chicago Bears to March last year when Simone’s numerous tweets sparked curiosity. If you fall into those categories, you may already know about her tweet made on March 12. Well, the tweet read, “CHICAGO HERE HE COMES.” That was the final confirmation of Owens’ entry into the Bears’ mix. He signed a contract with the Bears, earning $4. 5 million for the next two years. Big news for the NFL fans! Also, the Olympian’s fans felt assured of seeing a contained Simone Biles in the next two years. After all, she might not have to feel the geographical decision with her husband like she did on the previous occasions. But wasn’t there something for the Chicago residents?
Simone had a message for them. On March 12, she penned another tweet. It read, “also I just love the city of Chicago.” In the next nine months, she took this bond to the upper level. Her appearances in the football matches gained a massive following. Even the hardcore NFL fans schooled Travis Hunter and his fiancée, giving them examples of Simone and Jonathan’s PDAs. But unfortunately, everything came to a halt after the Bears’ untimely exit before the postseason. Would this goodbye put a shade on Simone’s memorable presence in Chicago Bears’ matches?
Simone Biles might keep a few things in her heart
A first is always a first! No one knows this better than Simone Biles, the seven-time Olympic champion. For her, marking her attendance in Jonathan Owens’s matches is special. Last year, she had a chance to attend JO’s match before Thanksgiving. On November 24, Owens’s Chicago Bears were scheduled to match up against the Minnesota Vikings. The Olympian made the occasion far more special by not only attending in the stadium but also kissing Owens before the match on the sidelines. PDAs, remember? The sign of love took the floor once again on December 22.
This time, it came before the Bears’ match against the Detroit Lions. Under the gloomy sky and chilly weather, Biles raised the heat by kissing her husband in front of the lenses. And on December 26, Simone raised the bar to the top level. During the match against the Seattle Seahawks at Soldier Field in Chicago, Biles arrived dressed in a unique outfit dedicated to Owens—a sweatsuit adorned with images of his face. Something unforeseen in a football match! But as for now, things are in fans’ hearts. They will have to wait a few more months to see Simone in a similar avatar again on the football field.
