The end of an era: Simone Biles has made a surprising announcement that will leave you speechless.
Simone Biles didn’t attend the Chicago Bears’ dominating victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars on October 13, but she still celebrated her husband by sharing a heartfelt message online.
Throughout the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, Biles had unwavering support from her partner. Now it’s her turn to cheer on Jonathan Owens as he plays for the Bears in the NFL, who recently secured an impressive 35-16 victory on Sunday.
Safety Owens played a crucial role in preventing the Floridians from reaching his team’s red zone and contributed one tackle in their dominant victory, while Trevor Lawrence had difficulty making any significant impact for the Jaguars.
Biles might not have been in the stands, but she celebrated the win by posting “Bear down baby” on her Instagram Stories. This comes as Biles gets more involved with Chicago football, following past criticism for sporting Green Bay Packers gear at their preseason game.
What was the reason Biles wasn’t able to attend?
Biles was able to attend the event and watch Owens in person because two key factors created a break in their schedules for the weekend.
First, she is currently on her Gold All Over Tour (GOAT, also standing for Greatest Of All-Time) and touring throughout the United States while the NFL game between the Jaguars and Bears took place in London.
Games in Europe align with the league’s objectives to expand the sport, but for Biles, it was just not practical to travel and watch Owens play.
Who are the Bears facing in Week 7?
Maybe having someone with 11 Olympic gold medals in the locker room watching over him is motivating Caleb Williams’ breakout and helping him realize his potential as one of the most highly anticipated quarterback prospects in NFL history.
The Bears’ standout quarterback completed 23 out of 29 passes for a total of 226 yards and four touchdowns, achieving a QB Rating of 88.4 and an overall rating of 124.4, as he starts to make his mark in the league.
However, he will get a break next weekend as the .666 Bears have their bye week. His next game will be an exciting matchup against Jayden Daniels’ 4-2 Washington Commanders on Sunday, October 27 at North-West Stadium, starting at 12:00 ET/09:00 PT.
Owens was born in St. Louis, Missouri, on July 22, 1995.
He attended Loyola Academy of St. Louis before playing football under Coach Scott Pingel at Christian Brothers College High School (CBC).
While in high school, Owens earned the title of CBC Linebacker of the Year.
Owens’ financial journey has been closely linked to his contracts in professional football.
After not being selected in the 2018 draft, he joined the Arizona Cardinals but encountered setbacks because of injuries.
However, he achieved stability with the Houston Texans. There, he showcased his skills and earned a spot on the active roster for four seasons.
His determination bore fruit, resulting in a two-year contract with the Chicago Bears earlier this year.
This contract marks an important milestone in his career, succeeding a one-year agreement valued at $1.01 million with the Green Bay Packers signed in May 2023.
Jonathan Owens’ popularity soared after his marriage to Simone Biles.
He doesn’t depend solely on his NFL contracts for income.
Owens also gains from several endorsements, boosting his overall wealth.
His rising popularity in the sports community, emphasized by his inclusion in People magazine’s list of “Sexiest Men in Sports,” has undoubtedly enhanced his attractiveness for brand partnerships.
Outside of football, Owens is also known for his personal life, particularly his marriage to Olympic champion Simone Biles in April 2023.
Their relationship has garnered substantial media attention, which has further boosted his profile.
Alongside his football career and endorsements, Owens is securing his future by investing in real estate.
