Nellie Biles has been extremely supportive towards her adoptive daughter, as well as her husband Jonathan Owens. It was with her approval that Biles got married to Owens in April 2023. Owens also attended the Paris Olympics alongside Ron and Nellie Biles in order to support the 27-year-old gymnast.

Simone Biles created history at the Paris Olympics, winning three gold medals and a silver medal. As such, her medal tally now comprises 11 Olympic medals, making her the joint second most decorated female Olympic gymnast in the world alongside Vera Caslavska of Czechoslovakia.

It is no secret that Simone Biles attends almost every NFL game of husband Jonathan Owens. Recently, she opened up on the significance of her presence, and what it means to her husband.

In a recent interview with Olympics.com, Biles mentioned:

"Oh my gosh. It means the world to me. And I know it means so much to him for me to be able to go and support his games. For him, it means a lot for me to go on the sideline before because he says that's his pre-game routine. So he's always looking for me on the sideline to give him, like, good luck vibes and wishes. That's just his superstition."

Biles also made a mention of how Owens would feel relaxed before his matches, contrary to herself. She further added:

"Well, usually, you're not allowed to be with him the night before, so we sleep separately in the hotel. And then after that, he usually comes up, gives me a kiss goodbye. So, it's very ... He's so chill. He's relaxed. And that's also his personality. Not as stressed as me."

Simone Biles' husband Jonathan Owens represents the Chicago Bears, who played their previous game against the Detroit Lions. However they lost the game by a margin of 17-34, making it unfortunately their ninth consecutive loss of the season.
