Simone Biles is showing her support for husband Jonathan Owens!

Decked out in Chicago Bears colors, Biles shared a quick kiss on the sidelines with Owens before the team’s victory over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, Sept. 29.

The 11-time Olympic medalist also posted a clip of the moment to her Instagram Stories.

Since returning from Paris where she made Olympic history over the summer, Biles made sure to show up to support Owens during the preseason. Her appearance at Soldier Field marked her first time attending a regular-season game since Owens signed with the Bears.

In a clip posted on X by the Bears, Biles, 27, was seen walking inside the stadium as she flashed a peace sign and pouted at the camera.

Owens, 29, returned the favor a day earlier when he surprised his wife at the nearby Milwaukee stop of her Gold Over America Tour.

On Saturday, Sept. 27, Biles shared on her Instagram Stories that Owens had paid her a visit amid their their busy schedules.

Ahead of her Saturday performance at Milwaukee’s Fiserv Forum, Biles uploaded a clip that appeared to be of her and Owens holding hands. She then confirmed the surprise appearance from her husband when she shared another image of the Bears safety holding up a massive array of roses, shaped like a heart, while he smiled at her.

The gymnastics women’s floor final controversy seems to be far from over. Now, new evidence seems to point out that even Simone Biles may have been affected by judging errors. Footage from an upcoming Netflix docuseries has surfaced showing that she could have won another gold at the Paris Olympics.

Video from ‘Simone Biles: Rising’ was submitted to the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland in connection with the bronze medal battle between Jordan Chiles and Ana Barbaso, also shows Team USA coach Cecile Landi submitting a separate inquiry on behalf of Biles’s unregistered split leap — which went unresolved.

In the appeal video, Biles asked her coach if Landi’s husband, Laurent, had inquired. After Laurent exchanged a few words in French, Landi turned to Biles and said, “They didn’t send it,” gesturing helplessly.

Biles’s score of 14.133 in the floor final included a 6.9 for difficulty. The split leap would have increased her score to 14.233, surpassing gold medallist Rebeca Andrade’s 14.166.

While fans took to social media to protest what could have been Biles’s eighth gold medal overall, Biles herself, who eventually took silver, seems to be taking it all in stride.

“Honestly not a big deal for me, Rebeca had a better floor anyways,” Biles, 27, wrote, and added a hand-heart emoji. “Upsetting how it wasn’t processed but I’m not mad at the results,” she wrote on X.

The gymnast goes on to support her teammate on the platform, adding “Justice for Jordan” in reference to the ongoing bronze medal appeals.

The floor exercise final at the Paris Olympics turned out to be even more surprising than we initially thought. Following the controversy surrounding Jordan Chiles’ bronze medal, Simone Biles faced her own challenge. In her Netflix docuseries, Simone Biles: Rising, it was revealed that a scoring inquiry was submitted regarding a split leap Biles performed during her routine, one that ultimately remained unseen.

If Biles’s score had been adjusted, she could have achieved a 14.233, surpassing Rebeca Andrade’s 14.166. It’s wild to think that with a few changes, Biles could have walked away with four gold medals instead of her final count! And thus, Simone Biles wrapped up the Paris Games with three gold medals and one silver, bringing her total to 11 overall.

Despite all the talk about that one missed gold, Biles made it clear that it didn’t weigh heavily on her. She took to X to share her thoughts, saying, “Honestly, not a big deal for me; Rebeca had a better floor anyway. Upsetting how it wasn’t processed, but I’m not mad at the results.”

So, does this setback dim Simone Biles’ shine? Not at all! According to a recent report by The Medal Count on X, Biles is still dominating, outscoring any other gymnast in the modern era. Well, ever since the modern 6-event era in gymnastics kicked off in the mid-20th century, the sport has really shown athletes’ skills in a structured way.

For women, this includes vault, uneven bars, balance beam, and floor exercise, while men compete in floor exercise, pommel horse, rings, vault, parallel bars, and horizontal bars. And there too, Biles has achieved some amazing milestones, like winning at least four gold medals in single competitions during this era. Yes, true!

Biles snagged four World Championship golds in both 2014 and 2015, and then she made her Olympic debut at the 2016 Games in Rio. She took home five medals, four of which were gold in team, all-around, vault, and floor exercise. Then in 2018, her winning streak didn’t end there; at the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Antwerp, she added five more medals, including four golds. Now she has a total of 41 career medals.

Yes, Larissa Latynina also did it, but in just a single year, i.e., 1958. Then ten years later, Vera Caslavska achieved a feat in 1968, followed by Ludmilla Turischeva in 1974 and Ecaterina Szabo in 1984. However, none quite compare to Simone Biles’s wins in modern gymnastics. But still, Biles is trailing behind the 89-year-old legend.

 

Simone Biles is second to none, yet trailing the 89-year-old gymnast

Looking at what gymnasts today do, I’m a little afraid.” This was said by Larisa Latynina back in 2021 after seeing Biles, who withdrew from Tokyo 2020 due to twisties. But she might be Biles’s next target. Why? read below.

Till now, Simone Biles has earned a total of 11 Olympic medals; however, she still trails behind Larisa Latynina, 89, who holds the record with 18 Olympic medals. Even though out of 11 Biles medals, seven are gold, along with two silvers and two bronze medals that she secured across the games held in Rio 2016, Tokyo 2020, and Paris 2024! And that’s not all. There are accomplishments to celebrate!

Simone Biles holds the title of being the most decorated gymnast in World Championship history with a collection of 30 medals under her belt. Moreover revealing her skills and talent on the gymnastics floor, she also boasts of having five moves in artistic gymnastics named after her. Yes, you read that correctly. As outlined by the International Gymnastics Federation, a move earns this recognition when a gymnast successfully executes it during competition at a specified level of difficulty.

At the 2013 World Championships, when Biles was 16 years old, she executed a layout with a half twist known as “The Biles” as her initial maneuver. Then there’s the Biles (Vault), a half-twist onto the vaulting table followed by a front double full somersault, which she showed off at the 2018 World Championships.

In 2019, Biles added the Biles II (Floor), a triple-double with two flips and three twists, and a beam dismount also named “The Biles,” featuring two twists and flips. Most recently, at the 2023 World Championships, she unveiled the Biles II (Vault), a Yurchenko-style vault with two flips in a pike position. But in the future, she is supposed to do one more.

Before the Paris Olympics started, Biles submitted a new skill for the uneven bars! It’s a hip circle forward with 1.5 turns into a handstand. Unfortunately, she didn’t get to show it off in the Olympics, but she might show that’s kill in 2028 if she were part of it. This proves Biles isn’t just a gymnast; she’s a living legend, inspiring countless fans around the globe with her talent!

Some of the world’s elite gymnasts made their way to San Jose on Saturday for the Gold Over America Tour, where they performed an array of impressive aerial feats.

Led by the GOAT, 11-time Olympic medalist Simone Biles, the athletes performed a “high-energy and high-flying, gymnastics-meets-pop-concert spectacle” in a packed SAP center.

The company lineup features Jade Carey, Hezly Rivera, Joscelyn Robenson, and Jordan Chiles — who is currently appealing a decision by the Court of Arbitration for Sport that stripped her of a bronze medal after an improper coach’s scoring appeal at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Since the CAS ruling, the medal was given to Romania’s Ana Barbosu.

Representing Team USA’s male competitors are Paul Juda, Brody Malone and Frederick Richard.

The cast’s international delegation includes Canada’s Peng-Peng Lee and Ellie Black, France’s Mélanie de Jesus dos Santos, and the Netherlands’ Casimir Schmidt.

The crowd cheered as Biles and the rest made their way out on the floor.

 

 

Some of the over 10,000 attendees drove all the way from Sacramento to see the most decorated gymnast in history perform.

“Her cool moves inspire me to work hard and try my best,” said 8-year-old Lauren Duncan, who attended the show with her sister Clair. The pair wore special Simone Biles outfits.

San Jose is just the fourth stop on the tour, which will also include Denver, Chicago, Houston, Atlanta, and Orlando. The tour will conclude in Detroit on November 3.

The 32-arena showcase debuted in Oceanside on Monday before making its way to Phoenix. On Wednesday, at the Footprint Area, the cast was welcomed by Phoenix Mercury basketball stars Diana Taurasi, Brittney Griner, and Kahleah Copper.

Before making their way to the Bay Area, the company stopped in Los Angeles.

This is the second GOAT tour Biles has led, with the inaugural showcase in 2021. The original tour was made up of just female gymnasts with the intention of inspiring the next generation of female athletes.

The tour is probably not the last time fans see Simone perform. The Spring, Texas resident said she hasn’t entirely dismissed the idea of competing in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

“Obviously, we are going to start off with this tour,” Biles said in an interview with NBC San Diego. “We have 30 cities and 32 shows. Let’s focus on that and I think after this, we deserve a well good break. So then we’ll see.”

Simone Biles was forced to miss out on cheering on husband Jonathan Owens for a second straight week Sunday.

The Olympic superstar was unable to watch on from the stands as the Chicago Bears took on the Houston Texans in her home state as she prepared to kick off the Gold Over America tour on Monday.

However, while the gymnast has missed the first two games of the NFL season, Owens assured fans it won’t be long until they see her on the sidelines.

Owens, who married the Olympic legend last year, revealed that Biles will be making an appearance at Solider Field as early as this month.

‘She’ll be here the 29th,’ the safety told the Chicago Bears’ YouTube channel. ‘She has a tour stop here that evening  at 7. Literally perfect. So, she can come to the game at 12 and then boom, I’ll get to go watch her at 7. Pretty dope turnaround.’

 

 

 

The Bears were in Houston for their Week 2 matchup Sunday night but Owens explained that it would have been near-impossible for Biles to make the mad dash from California and back.

‘Her tour starts Monday and we play Sunday evening so that would be a tough turnaround to then get back to California,’ he said.

But he did insist that the seven-time Olympic gold medalist would be watching him from afar.

Biles had revealed to her adoring fans that she will not be able to attend as many of her husband’s NFL games this season due to her post-Olympic duties.

She is set to begin the Gold Over America Tour on September 16, which forced to her to bid farewell to Owens earlier this month as he headed back to Chicago for the kickoff of the season.

The tour, a traveling gymnastics exhibition which will feature a host of gymnastic stars including Biles and her gold-medal-winning USA teammates, Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles and Hezly Rivera, will kick off on September 16 in Oceanside, California.

It will make 30 stops across the United States, finishing in Detroit on November 3, which coincides with Week 9 of the NFL schedule – the midpoint of the regular season.

Although Biles couldn’t support her NFL beau in person last week, she was still rooting for him in spirit.

With the Bears down 17-3 with nine minutes left on the clock in the third quarter, the special teams player scored the franchise’s first touchdown of the season and the second of his career.

Responding to a clip of the play on X, formerly known as Twitter, the gymnastic icon wrote: ‘I ALMOST HD A HEART ATTACK.’

She also shared the clip on her Instagram story, adding: ‘LFG!! TOUCHDOWN FOR HUBBY.’

Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles made it clear during the NFL preseason that she wouldn’t be able to attend all of husband Jonathan Owens’ home games this season because of her Gold Over America Tour.

But after missing the Chicago Bears home opener last week against the Tennessee Titans, will Biles be able to make it to the team’s next home game against the Los Angeles Rams at Soldier Field on Sept. 29?

Well, as it turns out, Owens, a safety for the Bears, actually spilled the beans on when Bears fans can expect to see Biles again during a recent interview on the team’s YouTube channel.

 

 

“She’ll be here the 29th,” Owens said. “She has a tour stop here that evening at 7; literally perfect. So, she can come to the game at 12 and then boom, I’ll get to go watch her at 7. Pretty dope turnaround.”

The Bears won their home opener against the Titans in Week 1 but fell 19-13 to the Houston Texans on the road on “Sunday Night Football.”

Biles’ Gold Over America Tour actually kicks off the following day with its first stop at Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California. From there, the GOAT tour has stops in Phoenix, Arizona; Los Angeles, California; San Jose, California; Salt Lake City, Utah; Denver, Colorado; Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Milwaukee, Wisconsin before hitting up Chicago on Sept. 29.

After the Chicago date, the GOAT tour has 21 more stops over the next four-plus weeks before the final show in Detroit, Michigan, on Nov. 3.

After that, Biles will be free to attend the Bears’ five remaining home games against the New England Patriots (Nov. 10), Green Bay Packers (Nov. 17), Minnesota Vikings (Nov. 24), Detroit Lions (Dec. 22) and Seattle Seahawks (Dec. 26).

Fresh off winning four medals in the 2024 Paris Games, Simone Biles was spotted back on the mat preparing for her “Gold Over America” tour this year.

The 11-time Olympic medalist recently shared a video of herself practicing a gymnastics skill during rehearsals that was unlike what fans have seen before. Biles has routinely performed and medaled in events such as the vault, balance beam and uneven bars throughout her decorated Games career, but she wowed fans this time by showing her talents in a wholly different gymnastics skill.

In a rehearsal video posted to her Instagram Stories, Biles performed what seemed to be a modified version of the men’s pommel horse routine.

Some fans even made jokes that Stephen Nedoroscik, the inspiration behind the iconic “Pommel Horse Guy” meme and a member of Team USA’s bronze medal-winning squad in Paris, will soon have some fiery competition.

Biles’s national gymnastics tour will span from September to November. Biles revealed she may not attend many of her husband Jonathan Owens’s Chicago Bears games as a result of her busy schedule.

Simone Biles has continued supporting Team USA teammate Jordan Chiles amid the ongoing controversy over the bronze medal in the floor exercise at the Paris Olympics.

‘We’ve been FaceTiming, texting, just being girls,’ Biles told People while promoting her partnership with a haircare brand. ‘I did talk to her on one of the days, and I was like, ‘You know what, Jordan, you have to feel all these feels. Don’t let these emotions stop you. This will be the healthiest way to get all of this out.’

It’s been a difficult August for Chiles, who was awarded the bronze in the floor exercise in Paris on August 5 on the back of an appeal by Team USA coach Cecile Landi, who challenged her athlete’s degree-of-difficulty score. That challenge led to a .1 boost, bumping Chiles to 13.766 – just ahead of Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu’s 13.700.

After becoming the most decorated Olympic gymnast at the 2024 Paris Games, Simone Biles will have a new place to hang her medals in Texas very soon.

On Thursday, the 27-year-old took to her Instagram stories to provide an update on the home she is building with NFL husband Jonathan Owens.

Biles parlayed a to-do list with a mirror selfie inside the property.

‘House meetings all day,’ Biles wrote. She also added that she also worked on landscaping and pool plans as well as audio and security amenities.

Furthermore, Biles shared a video panning through the nearly-finished kitchen inside the waterfront mansion, writing: ‘So excited to make this house a HOME a couple more months.’

Even with her success in athletics, it was the construction of their future home that led Biles to admit she’s ‘never been so happy,’ after sharing house updates on August 12.

Aside from her new home, Biles has a new luxury vehicle to park on the property.

On Thursday, Biles also shared a photo of a 2025 Mercedes-Benz G 550 SUV. The G Wagon retails between $149,400 and $175,000 depending on the features.

‘In with the new,’ Biles wrote on a photo of her sitting on the hood of the vehicle

The house project is the newest milestone for Biles and Owens. The pair got engaged in February 2022 after meeting on the Raya dating app in March 2020.

They exchanged vows in a courthouse on April 2023 before heading to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico for a destination wedding.

Biles is coming off an incredible Olympic run, winning gold in individual all-around, team all-around, and vault. She also bagged a silver for her floor routine to add to her tally.

Simone Biles said she was shocked after a Paris club tried to dupe her by charging $26,000 for a bottle of champagne during a night out following the Olympic closing ceremony.

Biles — who took home three gold medals and a silver at the Paris Games earlier this month — recalled the story in a “get ready with me ” TikTok video shared Monday, days after supporting husband Jonathan Owens in the Bears’ 27-3 preseason win over the Bengals.

“We had closing ceremonies at the Olympics. I went and after that we went out. You guys, this club tried to charge me $26,000 for a bottle of champagne. Like, are you insane?” Biles said while doing her makeup ahead of the preseason contest on Aug. 17.

“Obviously, I didn’t buy it. But why would you even try to play me like that? Like, that’s wild.

“And I don’t know, sometimes the attention, I’d rather not have it. I’d rather just be as normal as possible… I don’t know.”

Biles did not reveal the name of the club.

Elsewhere in the TikTok video, Biles explained she has yet to determine which Bears games she’ll attend this season to support her husband, a veteran safety who signed a two-year deal with Chicago in March.

“I’m not sure how many games I’ll be able to make because in a few weeks we go on tour,” she said, referring to the Athleta Presents Gold Over America Tour, which is headlined by Biles.

“I think right now we’re doing about 32 stops [on the tour].”
