Simone Biles’ husband, Jonathan Owens, is giving her all her flowers as she attempts to make her 3rd Olympic Team for the Paris Games at the Olympic Trials this weekend!
Jonathan Owens will be keeping score in Paris!
On the eve of his debut with the Chicago Bears, the NFL player is set to support his wife Simone Biles as she goes for (more) gold at the Olympics later this month, the gymnast told reporters on Sunday, June 30 following her decisive win at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Minneapolis.
Biles confirmed that Owens put in for vacation time with his new team.
“The Bears are actually granting him a couple days off from training camp, so he’ll be there,” the heavily-decorated Olympian, 27, said. “Yes, for just a short little time.”
Having the support of her husband of more than a year means a lot to the G.O.A.T., who earned a spot on her third Olympic team on Sunday and became just the fourth female gymnast ever to do so. Only Muriel Grossfeld, Linda Metheny and Dominique Dawes have previously pulled off the feat.
“I think it’s super exciting that we get to be in each other’s elements and supporting each other’s dreams and goals,” Biles said. “And yeah, it is these memories that we make that we’ll never get back.”
She added, “So anytime we can show up for one another and support, we just get super excited because our schedules don’t align that much. So whenever it does, it’s really important for the both of us to show up and support.”
