Simone Biles knows how to make a statement, whether it’s in gymnastics or on the sidelines.
The seven-time Olympic gold medallist turned heads when she rocked a bold, custom outfit at the Chicago Bears vs. Seattle Seahawks game.
SIMONE BILES’ CUSTOM OUTFIT
Her ensemble featured her husband, Jonathan Owens, all over it—quite literally.
Owens, a defensive back for the Chicago Bears, was one of the starters in the game, according to People.
Biles’ outfit, which mirrored the Bears’ colours for the evening, displayed his face multiple times across both her shirt and trousers.
The couple shared a sweet moment before the game, with Owens stopping to admire her creative tribute on the sidelines.
They shared a kiss before Biles headed to a luxury suite to cheer him on in style. The couple’s bond has been a topic of interest since they tied the knot in April.
SIMONE BILES LOVE STORY
They first met in 2020 through the celebrity dating app Raya. Speaking about their connection, Biles once said, “It felt natural from the start. He’s my biggest supporter, and I’m his.”
Owens made headlines in the past with comments about their relationship, according to Daily Mail.
He admitted he didn’t know who Biles was when they began dating, despite her global fame.
His remark sparked disbelief online, with fans questioning how an athlete could not recognise one of the most decorated gymnasts in history.
SIMONE BILES ON DEFENDING HER HUSBAND
But Biles has consistently defended her husband, according to The Spun.
In her Netflix documentary, she addressed the backlash, saying, “People love to judge, but they don’t know our story.
Jonathan is genuine, and that’s what matters.” She also dismissed criticism about his claim of being “the catch” in their marriage.
“It’s all in good fun,” she added.
Fans in South Africa may relate to this story’s focus on unwavering support in relationships.
THE WAG
Biles’ public backing of Owens reflects a universal truth: love often involves defending your partner in the face of outside judgment.
Their partnership highlights the importance of mutual respect, a value many South Africans hold dear.
Thursday’s game wasn’t just about fashion or romance. It also showcased Biles embracing her role as an NFL WAG (wives and girlfriends of players) with pride.
While some might shy away from the spotlight, she leans into it. “I love being there for him, just as he’s always been there for me,” she explained.
SHOWING SUPPORT
The couple’s playful and supportive relationship continues to win fans over.
From celebrating Owens’ career with customised outfits to addressing detractors head-on, Biles proves she’s just as bold off the mat as she is on it. As for the cost of Biles’ unique outfit, estimates suggest it could run into tens of thousands.
In South African rands, that might be as much as R200,000. But for a gesture of love this grand, it’s safe to say it was worth every cent.
Biles and Owens’ story reminds us all of the power of love, loyalty, and a bit of daring fashion. It’s clear that together, they make a formidable team—on and off the field.
