Simone Biles reveals how she handles life in spotlight while being NFL wife to Bears’ Jonathan Owens

Jonathan Owens is stepping into his eighth NFL season with the Chicago Bears, but this year feels different. At his side is Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast in history, who is learning to navigate Sundays under stadium lights instead of Olympic spotlights.

Fresh off four more medals in Paris, Biles now embraces a new identity: life as an NFL wife in Chicago.

Simone Biles on life as an NFL wife

Days before Week 1, Biles gave fans a peek into her new routine. In a playful Instagram reel to her 12.2 million followers, she shared glimpses of weekends spent with Owens—watching Hard Knocks, attending preseason games, and soaking in the Bears’ energy. But she admitted the adjustment isn’t small. “Even though I’m not the one playing, game weekends are a lot as an NFL wife,” she confessed, smiling at the change in pace.

Her dedication is far from symbolic. Last year, Owens left training camp briefly so he could witness Biles’ brilliance in Paris. It was a gesture of reciprocity after she had spent nearly every weekend in Green Bay, juggling training six days a week with cross-country flights just to support him. That balance is what makes the couple resonate beyond their sports—a marriage built on mutual sacrifice and relentless drive.

Despite the spotlight, Owens is comfortable with his role. He has often joked about being known as “Simone Biles’ husband,” aligning himself with other NFL stars whose fame is overshadowed by their partners—think Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, or Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld.

Jonathan Owens’ role with the Bears defense

For Chicago, Owens’ presence is more than just a headline. After steady years with the Texans and Packers, the safety was brought in to inject veteran leadership into a young secondary.

Known for his toughness, versatility, and ability to communicate on the field, he offers defensive coordinator Eric Washington a reliable option against the league’s elite passing attacks.

Last season, Owens played all 17 games, recording 49 tackles, a pick, and a pair of fumble recoveries. His ability to step up against the run makes him a valuable rotation piece alongside Jaquan Brisker in nickel and dime sets.
