Jonathan Owens had signed a two-year deal with the Chicago Bears earlier this year in March. He revealed in an interview that he had planned on traveling to Paris even before signing the contract with the Bears.

He revealed that his agents had talked about his trip to Paris during the Olympics to cheer for his wife, Simone Biles when he signed the contract.

“It was something me and my agent talked about when we went in and I signed with the team. The Olympics coming up and who my wife is, that was just something ... it was all respectful. We went to them and just asked, ‘We would really appreciate it if he could go and support his wife,’ and they were really cool about it," he said. (as quoted by apnews)
