As Simone Biles prepares to compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics, there’s no doubt that her husband, Jonathan Owens, will be cheering her on the whole time.
On June 30, the world watched as the gymnast secured her spot as a member of Team USA’s gymnastics team. After competing for two days at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Minneapolis, Minnesota, she joined Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, and Hezly Rivera as those set to vie for Olympic gold. This also marked her third time making the U.S. Olympic team, after qualifying for the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in July 2021.
The day after Simone made it into the 2024 Paris Olympics, her NFL-playing husband (Jonathan plays safety for the Chicago Bears) posted a tribute to celebrate her success on Instagram.
“No words can describe how proud of you I am baby 🤎,” he wrote on July 1. “Just knowing all the work that you put in and everything that you’ve been through, and to still come back and be as dominant as ever, I was speechless. I’m so thankful to be a part of this journey with you, and I can’t wait to be able to watch you out there in Paris. I’m so happy for you babe!!!! 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 Cheers to going to your third Olympic Games!!!!!! Just sounds so surreal being able to say my wife is the best to EVER do it, how did I get so lucky 😌 I love you so much 🤞🏽🤞🏽.”
