Simone Biles shared a frame with her husband Jonathan Owens shortly after she surprised Hoda Kotb as the guest host on her last day at the Today Show. Since touching down in LA, Biles and Owens have been enjoying quality time.
Biles and Owens shifted to Chicago before the latter entered his first NFL season with the Chicago Bears. The Olympian became a regular in the Bears games, cheering on her husband on Thanksgiving day, and even spent New Year's Eve indoors. Following the Bears' win against the Green Bay Packers on January 5, 2025, the couple traveled to Los Angeles for Hoda Kotb's farewell episode on Today Show.
Besides that, they also shared snaps from their lunch and dinner dates in the Californian city. On January 12, 2025, Simone Biles and her husband posed for a mirror selfie with a Christmas-themed decoration in the background. They rocked coordinated looks, wearing black puffer jackets and skin-tight pants with sneakers.

Simone Biles admitted to being uncomfortable with the limelight and public speaking as she received the Sportsperson of the Year honor
Sports Illustrated awarded Biles the Sportsperson of the Year title for her monumental Olympic achievement as she became the second-most decorated Olympic gymnast of all time. On receiving the trophy in the award ceremony, the 27-year-old opened up about her fear of public speaking and how she doesn't like being in the spotlight despite global fame.
"It might be a surprise for a lot of you guys, but I really don't like being in the limellight, in the centre of the room. But it tends to happen to me a lot. But I'm really uncomfortable with public speaking, so, trust me when I tell you this I'd rather be competing on a four inch beam infront of you guy," she said.
Biles released the second season of her eponymous Netflix docuseries, Simone Biles Rising, on October 25, 2024.
