Jonathan Owens: A True Olympic MVP (Most Valuable Partner!)

Find out why Simone Biles' husband, Jonathan Owens, left the Paris Olympics early and how he’s cheering from the sidelines!

At the 2024 Paris Olympics, the spotlight shone brightly on the incomparable Simone Biles as she soared to new heights, clinching three gold medals and reminding the world why she is a gymnastics icon. However, amidst the cheers and applause, one critical presence was notably absent from the stands: her husband, Jonathan Owens. The Chicago Bears safety made headlines not just for his famous wife’s achievements but also for his unexpected decision to leave the Games early, prompting countless whispers about where his loyalty truly lay.

Upon closer inspection, it turns out that Owens had his reasons for cutting his Olympic trip short. As supportive as he wanted to be, he had training commitments back in the U.S. that required his attention—like every good NFL player, he couldn’t let his team down. Owens, who publicly declared his unwavering admiration for Biles, referred to her as "the s---" (in the best way possible!) and signifies just how proud he is of her gold-winning prowess. He even made a point to cheer for her remotely, proving that even from afar, his love and support for Simone know no bounds.

Simone, never one to shy away from playful banter, didn't hold back when her husband left. With a cheeky remark about Jonathan's early exit, she showcased her trademark humor that many have come to adore. It seems that even Olympic champions like Biles find a way to keep their relationships light-hearted, which may very well be the secret to their success—staying grounded while reaching for the stars!

Alongside Biles' triumphs comes a slew of support from fellow athletes, including her husband’s teammate, Jaylon Johnson, who might not have the faintest idea about gymnastics (and who does?), but offered a morale boost nonetheless. With Jonathan Owens’ continued commitment to balancing love and professional sports, it’s clear that this duo is destined for greatness, both inside and outside arenas.

Interesting Fact: Simone Biles is the most decorated gymnast in World Championship history, with a whopping 32 medals—that's more shiny pieces in her collection than some entire nations!

Fun Fact: Jonathan Owens doesn’t just save touchdowns on the field; he’s also credited with being a supportive partner who attributes much of his personal success to the unwavering support of Simone Biles. A match made in sports heaven!
