Simone Biles went full-on fangirl for her husband, Jonathan Owens, as the Chicago Bears went head-to-head with the Detroit Lions in Sunday night’s game.

Despite the Bears’ defeat to the Lions, 17-34, the Olympic gymnast showed unwavering support for her husband with a sweet yet subtle gesture.

In a post shared on the team’s official Instagram, Owens sported a white NFL shirt that showed off his amazing physique and tattoos, which he paired with jersey shorts and compression tights.

Simone Biles went full-on fangirl for her husband, Jonathan Owens, as the Chicago Bears went head-to-head with the Detroit Lions in Sunday night’s game.

Despite the Bears’ defeat to the Lions, 17-34, the Olympic gymnast showed unwavering support for her husband with a sweet yet subtle gesture.

In a post shared on the team’s official Instagram, Owens sported a white NFL shirt that showed off his amazing physique and tattoos, which he paired with jersey shorts and compression tights.

On Biles’ Instagram Stories, she shared the NFL’s post along with a sweet two-word reaction.

“OHHHH BABBYYYY,” she wrote, sending an affectionate message.

The 27-year-old Olympic gymnast married Owens in April 2023 after first meeting through the dating app Raya in March 2020.

Over a year into their marriage, Biles has been a supportive wife to the Bears’ safety, watching his games in her custom-made outfits and cheering for him whenever she can.

Sunday at Soldier Field was more than just football. Simone Biles showed up to cheer on her husband, Jonathan Owens, as his Chicago Bears faced off against the Detroit Lions. And let’s be real—Jonathan’s squad needed all the support they could get. After eight straight losses, another L would’ve been the nail in their playoff coffin. But while the game had its stakes, the real drama? Jonathan’s pre-game fit.

Picture this: JO rocking a high-neck vest on the sidelines, complete with a cap to brave the chilly weather. But no jersey in sight? A bold move, especially given the freezing Chicago temps. Was it an attempt to emulate the Tennessee Volunteers’ trick while facing Ohio State in its College Football playoff last week? But what did they do?

Just before the game against Ohio State, several VoIs players took the field shirtless. They were bare-bodied, doing the physical drills. It was a cold situation, and the Volunteers were desperate to continue shedding sweat, keeping their bodies open to the air. Did JO copy that on Sunday?

Maybe. Maybe not. What we do know is that Simone Biles was all in. She posted an Instagram story featuring her man’s game-day look, captioning it, “OHHHH BABBYYYY.

After her triumphant comeback at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Simone Biles is giving her body a well-deserved break. For the gymnastics GOAT, that means leaving behind some of her most challenging and gravity-defying moves. She shared in a Threads post on Dec. 15 that she has no intention of ever doing one of her eponymous skills again.

“the fact I’ll never do a triple double again,” Biles wrote, adding a face-holding-back-tears emoji as she publicly said goodbye to the floor exercise element that required her to simultaneously execute three twists and two backflips in a tucked position.

The triple-double is one of Biles’ signature skills. She became the first-ever woman to land it in competition at the U.S. Gymnastics Championships in August 2019. Weeks later, the element gained the name the Biles II when she successfully executed it in international competition for the first time at the 2019 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships.

“I feel like you should never settle just because you are winning or you are at the top,” Biles told the New York Times in the lead-up to her debuting the skill and winning the 2019 U.S. Gymnastics Championships. “You should always push yourself.”

Now that Biles’ triple-double days are over, fans are as emotional as the seven-time Olympic gold medalist is. She remains the only woman to compete it, and gymnastics lovers made sure to applaud her incredible feat. “You don’t have to do another one,” a fan responded to her post. “You’re already the GOAT.”

At this stage in her career — and after becoming the most-decorated gymnast ever with 11 Olympic medals and 30 world medals — 27-year-old Biles knows her body needs to rest. She also retired her Yurchenko double pike vault in September, after it helped her on her way to gold in the Olympic all-around and vault finals in Paris.

Posting a photo of herself sitting on a vault table and surrounded by flowers, Biles wrote, “rest in peace yurchenko double pike,” alongside a heart-hands emoji. Also called the Biles II due to gymnastics’ naming system, the vault is another skill that she is the only woman to ever land in competition.

Biles opened up about the vault’s intense difficulty during her 2021 Facebook Watch docuseries, Simone vs. Herself, saying, “Usually when you do a new skill, you’re scared the first couple of times and then you kind of get used to it. But every time I stand down at that vault runway, I’m, like, praying.”

Though she’s putting some of her signature skills to rest, Biles still hasn’t announced her retirement from gymnastics. Before the premiere of Netflix’s Simone Biles: Rising Part 2 in October, she indicated to the Los Angeles Times that she still doesn’t have an answer about whether or not she’ll try to compete in the next Olympics in 2028.

“You never know what can happen in four years,” she said. “Gotta wait and see.”

Simone Biles is coming to Athens, Georgia.

On Monday, Georgia’s gymnastics program announced on X (formerly Twitter) that one of the world’s greatest Olympic athletes will be in attendance for its first home meet on Jan. 17, 2025, against Boise State.

Biles’ Team USA gymnastics coach Cecile Canqueteau-Landi is entering her first season as the Bulldogs’ co-head coach.

Biles’ trip to Athens will be her second visit to the state of Georgia in the last few months, as she and her fellow Team USA gymnasts performed at Gas South Arena in Duluth, Georgia on Oct. 13 as part of the Gold Over America Tour.

Maia Campbell, a 10-year-old gymnast enthusiast, is taking on a challenge that most could only dream of—traveling 1,400 miles from her home in Jamaica to Houston, Texas. You are wondering what it could be. None other than to compete in the Simone Biles Invitational in January 2025. And this is just the beginning for her. For Maia, this isn’t just another event! It’s more than just a gymnastics competition; it’s a golden opportunity to showcase her talent, gain exposure, and learn from some of the best in the world, and trust me, she’s so excited; it’d elevate your spirit!

Maia is a dreamer, wanting to represent Jamaica at the Olympics and make everyone proud in her country and family. This journey to this event is proof of her passion, determination, and the support of her family. She prepares to step onto the mat at the Simone Biles Invitational this January, but before that she needs our support. Her story is going to serve as an inspiration to young athletes everywhere, reminding us all that with hard work and belief, any dream is within reach.

The start of a star in the making—Maia Campbell

So how did Maia get into gymnastics? In fact, the answer to this is unpredictable, but it will definitely put a smile onto your face; also, it almost began by accident. It was her mother’s keen eye that noticed her flipping around the house, a sign of the raw talent that no one at that time guessed would eventually take her to international competitions. “I got interested when my mom noticed me flipping all around the house… It was fun, and I really enjoyed it, so I wanted to continue,” says Maia, her eyes lighting up with excitement as she recalls it.

When she was three, her natural abilities were clear, and she joined gymnastics in 2014. Since then, Maia has gone kaboom on her training! From strength to strength, balancing the rigorous schedule, she still shines in her class after all that, maintaining an average of 90th percentile as a grade five student at Stella Maris Preparatory School. What an exceptional little girl! “Maia’s gymnastics journey was not just about flips and tricks,” says Yolande Hylton, her mother. “The coaches recognized it wasn’t just about climbing furniture… Maia had real talent.” 

Yolande’s words reflect the early recognition of Maia’s abilities, leading to her invitation to join Nishida’s Gymnastics NGR Star and USAG Programme in the year 2020. This was the start of a series of impressive achievements that led her to this day, from winning first place in the USAG Level 1 All-Around at the Gasparilla Classics in Tampa, Florida, in 2022, to qualifying for Jamaica’s Junior Gymnastics Team in 2023. Maia’s story is one of the best rapid progressions, with her dedication and the sacrifices made by her family to nurture her talent, and now she is about to fly 1400 miles to make her dream true, and it’s going to be all worth it!

Moving forward, Maia’s recent wins have been a clear indication of her readiness. In 2023, she earned second place in USAG Level 4 at the Jamaica Gymnastics Classics and then headed to secure first place in USAG Level 5 at the Jamaica Carifta Trials in October. She won first place overall at the Jamaica Gymnastics Classics in December 2023. This event, where she was placed first in bars, second in balance beam, third in vault, and fourth in floor, was a great milestone for her. It only solidified her place among the top young gymnasts in Jamaica; these performances scream—she’s ready!

The opportunity at the Simone Biles Invitational

Maia stops by Smile Jamaica TVJ to share her journey and seek support for her dream. The Simone Biles Invitational is a dream come true for so many. A lifetime of an opportunity for young athletes to gain exposure, mentorship, and experience in gymnastics. For Maia, it’s a chance to test herself against the best in the world and to learn from Simone Biles herself, whose vision for the event is to train young talents. “It’s not just about winning,” says Maia. “It’s about learning and growing, pushing myself to be the best version of me.” Maia will be looking to gain insights from the world’s top coaches and to showcase the hard work she’s put in over the years.

However, for Maia and her family, the path to Houston is not without its challenges. “We need additional support to cover travel costs and competition fees,” says Yolande Hylton. “Sponsorship is crucial for Maia to reach her full potential at this event.” Campbell’s family is hoping to gather support from the vast community to help Maia make this journey, which is far more than just about traveling 1,400 miles—it’s about investing in her future and the future of gymnastics in Jamaica. With the financial burden of travel, accommodation, and other expenses, this challenge gets into the critical role that community support plays, and it’s going to play out very well.

Maia Campbell has gotten so far, and now as she prepares for the Simone Biles Invitational, she needs the power and support of a loving community. Her mother, Yolande Hylton, has been her biggest cheerleader, making sacrifices to ensure that Maia has the best chance to succeed. “My mom encouraged me to keep going, even when I wanted to quit,” says Maia, reflecting on her journey so far. In the upcoming invitational and other developmental opportunities, there’s a call for readers to support Maia. Not just as a gymnast but as a symbol of hope for young athletes everywhere. “By sponsoring Maia,” says Hylton, “you’re not just investing in her—you’re investing in the future of gymnastics in Jamaica and supporting a talented young athlete on her path to greatness.” This is a chance to be part of Maia’s journey, to watch her grow and shine on a global stage, and to help build the legacy of gymnastics in Jamaica.

Simone Biles, hailed as the most decorated U.S. Olympic gymnast, secured yet another gold medal on Tuesday during the women’s team final at the 2024 Olympic Games held in Paris. Her thrilling performances have been captivating not just fans worldwide, but particularly the young aspiring gymnasts who look up to her as the pinnacle of excellence.

Among her many admirers is a seven-year-old girl whose life has become thoroughly intertwined with the sport. “I want to be just like her and go to the Olympics when I grow up,” she exuberantly claimed, emulating Biles’s iconic gestures. The young gymnast’s fascination with Biles is evident as she regularly practices flips and dance moves, knitted together with her hard work ethos. It’s almost as if Biles has become her unspoken coach, guiding her dreams through her unstoppable rise.

But recently, as Biles prepared for her floor exercise routine, fear coursed through the hearts of her fans when she injured her left calf muscle during warm-ups on Sunday. The moment was tense; shockwaves rippled through households, witnessing the potential end to her historic run. Despite this uncertainty, the little girl remained steadfast, asserting, “I love hard days,” exuding confidence all too rare for someone her age. She believed wholeheartedly Biles would overcome this challenge and deliver top scores, showing the kind of resilient spirit one associates with the champion herself.

Reflecting on her own experience, the mother recalls the budding talents of her daughter. It all began three years ago when she realized her child had the potential to shine as a gymnast. Swapping ballet tutus for gymnastic leotards, the girl’s skills soon drew attention, even earning her the nickname “Baby Biles” after clinching first place at national competitions.

Emphasizing the dedication gymnastics requires, the mother describes the reality of balancing their family’s demands against the rigorous training required. Sweeping daily practices, endless travel to competitions, and mounting fees have made them continuously reassess their commitment to the sport she loves. With the financial strain apparent, their family has had to endure sacrifices, from altered schedules to fewer shared meals around the dinner table.

The intense lifestyle of competitive gymnastics also brings forth worries about her future. Could her daughter, like Biles, end up living far from home, honing her craft under elite coaches? The emotional toll on parents is massive, feeling anxiety over the well-being of their young athlete. Still, they press on, fueled by the joy their daughter derives from the sport. After enduring long training sessions, they witness her exuberance when she receives praise from coaches.

Biles’s personal story is not lost on the family. They learn of her challenges—educational disruptions prompting homeschooling during her high school years—and her early diagnosis of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Biles utilized gymnastics to focus her energy. The young girl relates to this, sharing with her mother how gymnastics helps her channel her own challenges: “Whenever I do my dance-throughs or my tumbling, my mind is thinking of how tight I should be,” she remarked. This connection between the two strengthens her mother’s belief in her daughter’s abilities.

Though committed to rigorous training, any glimpse of doubt dissipates when the girl dons her leotard, immersing herself fully as she practices at the gym. These moments of joy only serve to highlight the sacrifices made and the determination they instill. Each new medal her daughter collects only adds to the passion she feels, filled with pride as she sees her triumphs reflected on the walls of her room.

With Biles’s performances dominating headlines, they have transformed across the country from mere athletic displays to emotional spectacles. This young girl’s aspirations encapsulate wider feelings for the generations of female athletes Biles has inspired. Watching the gymnastics legend perform embodies not just her talent but the thriving dreams of youngsters who train daily, often daring to conquer obstacles just like their idol.

The next few days during the Olympic Games will continue to be immense, but for this little girl and her family, it goes beyond who takes home medals. It’s about passion, hard work, and the indelible influence Biles has, stemming from the joy she inspires. Though Biles’s future may be uncertain at times, her legacy shines bright, lighting the path for young gymnasts everywhere, from the small clubs to grand stages.

The Chicago Bears might not be having the best of seasons so far but safety Jonathan Owens’ GOAT wife, Simone Biles, is having a blast. Right after their marriage, the duo has been in a long-distance marriage. Owing to their hectic schedules, both Biles and Owens took time off periodically to see each other. And a major part of their meetup involved the gymnastics queen flying to watch Owens’ NFL games.

This ritual has continued since Owens’ time at the Green Bay Packers. Now, with Biles getting a little time off from her schedule, the visits to Chicago have only increased. Thankfully for Biles, her frequent visits to the NFL games have made her some close friends. Over time, the gymnastics GOAT has established a strong bond of friendship with retired volleyball player Torrie Brown and the wife of De’Vondre Campbell.

In her latest Instagram post, Biles was spotted enjoying her time in yet another NFL outing. While the initial images showed Owens and Biles sharing their love for each other, the remaining images showcased Biles’ bonding with her new besties. In one of the videos, Biles looked ecstatic as Owens made a clean catch. Next up, Biles could be seen embraced in a warm hug with two of her newfound besties. She acknowledged her friendship by captioning her post, “Swipe to see the besties football brought me.”

Well, this was not the first instance of Biles spending some fun time together with her NFL buddies. During Thanksgiving, Biles decided to pay her husband a surprise visit. Despite the Bears suffering a crushing loss to the Vikings, Biles’ presence seemed to have eased the nerves of Jonathan Owens. In an Instagram upload, the 7x Olympic gold medalist shared snippets of her trip to Ford Field during Thanksgiving.

And guess who was accompanying Biles? It was none other than her NFL bestie, ex-Georgia star, Torrie Brown. The duo could be seen enjoying their moment in a chartered flight. The entire vibe inside the flight looked like an extended Thanksgiving party. Meanwhile, speaking of Thanksgiving, Biles could not spend it at home with Owens. And now, to make matters even worse, Christmas also looks in some serious jeopardy.

Simone Biles to have a quiet Christmas this year

Simone Biles is all about family, especially around Christmas. From her childhood days, she’s cherished spending the holidays with her loved ones. But this year? That tradition’s taking a little detour, thanks to her hubby Jonathan Owens’ NFL commitments. “I want to be in a bathing suit. We used to actually go away for Christmas to Belize. Yeah, my mom just got there on Monday. I’m gonna stay with my husband, in the cold,” Biles spilled on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

Owens, who recently signed a cool $4.75 million deal with the Chicago Bears, is all business this holiday season. He’ll be battling the Seattle Seahawks on December 26, trying to bring some W’s to the Bears’ locker room. Meanwhile, Simone’s embracing the change. “This will be the first Christmas that we’ll spend alone together as a couple, which is actually really nice,” she shared, showing her signature positive vibes.

So, what’s the plan for this cozy Christmas-for-two? Simone’s taking charge, turning their Chicago home into a winter wonderland. In an interview with People, she admitted, “I’ve been begging Jonathan to go down in the basement and get the tree.” Classic Simone energy—determined, festive, and totally unstoppable.

While she’ll miss her family and the Belizean beaches, Simone’s making the best of it with her favorite teammate by her side. Christmas in Chicago might be colder, but their love story is as warm as ever.

The Chicago Bears’ season has been a tough one, with a disappointing 4-9 record after 13 games. While the year has been challenging, there have been some bright spots, such as Jonathan Owens stepping up with seven tackles and an interception. Unfortunately, the Bears were handed a crushing 38-13 loss by an injury-plagued 49ers team, extending their losing streak to seven games. However, there may be a silver lining on the horizon. Simone Biles recently shared her husband’s dreams, and if they come true, Owens could bring the energy and spark the Bears need to turn things around in the NFL.

Even the greatest athletes face challenges, and U.S. gymnast Simone Biles is no exception.

The Olympic gold medalist, often celebrated for her unmatched skills on the gymnastics mat, recently admitted that Pilates is one workout she struggles to master.

During an appearance on “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” Biles shared a humorous yet relatable story about her experience.

“I cannot do it to save my life,” Biles confessed with a laugh.

She explained that the workout left her legs trembling, and she even admitted to sneaking in rests when the instructor wasn’t looking.

“It’s not for me,” she added, candidly sharing her honest opinion about the exercise.
