As Simone Biles continued to dominate gymnastics at the 2024 Paris Olympics, her husband, Bears safety Jonathan Owens, couldn’t have been more proud.
While Biles was competing, Owens received permission from the Bear’s front office to travel to Paris to watch his wife perform even though it meant missing practice time.
He was seen cheering her on at every event, and even though he is now back in Chicago at practice, his public support has not faded.
During a recent press conference, Owens did not hold back when expressing his pride in his wife.
Ladies really tried to act like Jonathan Owens was some dusty, abusive husband, while he has literally shown nothing but support for @Simone_Biles‘ success!

“My wife’s a warrior,” said Owens
Many don’t know, but Biles competed in the Olympics despite a calf injury that would have sidelined many other athletes.
