Simone Biles recently got the initials of her husband, Jonathan Owens, tattooed following her Paris Olympics exploits. The latter, who is an NFL player for the Chicago Bears, reacted to his wife's adorable gesture.

Biles had a victorious Paris Olympics, where she nabbed four medals, three gold and one silver. Her first gold was in the team all-around event, where Team USA scored 171.296 points; her second gold was in the women's individual all-around event, where she scored 59.131 points and defeated Rebeca Andrade and Suni Lee, who claimed second and third place, respectively.

Clinching her third gold, Biles dominated in the women's vault as well, where she scored 15.300 points, trouncing Andrade and Jade Carey, who were in second and third place, respectively. Biles won the silver medal in the women's floor exercise, where she scored 14.133 and was bested by Rebeca Andrade.

Days after her dominant wins in Paris, Simone Biles' adorable gesture, towards her husband, of getting a tattoo of his initials on her ring finger grabbed attention. Owens, mesmerized with the gesture, re-posted Biles' Instagram story that showed the tattoo and added a few heart emojis.

Jonathan Owens reveals how he took permission from the Chicago Bears for visiting Simone Biles at the Paris Olympics

Jonathan Owens reflected on how he took permission from the Chicago Bears to visit Simone Biles during the Paris Olympics. He said that he asked his agent to spread the news about the Olympics, which helped him get permission.

"I told my agent and I was like, just put it in people’s ear so you know you walk around with people in the building and like 'you know the Olympics', just kind of putting the bug in and then my agent, he was talking to somebody upstairs, just letting them know and having conversation,” Owens said.

Talking about the conversation he had with the officials, he added:

"They basically asked me what days did I want to miss and I gave them, I said the 29th or the 3rd (August). I said these are the two finals that I wanna be able to check out and they ended up like 'both dates are fine'."

Owens' most recent game was against the Houston Texans, which his team lost with a score of 19-13. His next game is against the likes of the Carolina Panthers on October 6, 2024. Simone Biles is currently involved in her Gold Over America Tour, which started on September 16, with her next performance scheduled on September 21, 2024, at the Salt Lake City.
