Simone Biles’ Husband Jonathan Owens: From NFL Journeyman to Colts’ New Safety
Simone Biles is not only one of the United States’ greatest-ever athletes but also married to an NFL player. The gymnastics superstar, who has won seven Olympic gold medals and 23 World Championship gold medals, has been a household name for years. However, her personal life has also drawn significant attention, especially her marriage to Jonathan Owens, an NFL safety who has carved out his own professional football career.
Owens, who has enjoyed an eight-year NFL career across five different teams, recently signed with the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts addressed a real need in their secondary on Tuesday, signing the veteran safety to bolster a thin group heading into next season. At 5-foot-11 and 214 pounds, Owens enters his ninth NFL year having played for Houston, Green Bay, and Chicago across eight seasons. His journey through the league has been marked by resilience and adaptability, making him a valuable addition to any roster.
Off the field, the couple’s relationship has been a subject of public fascination. In an interview with People in January 2023, Biles shared that her mother, Nellie Biles, played an important role in planning her wedding to Owens. The couple has often spoken about the importance of supporting each other’s careers. “But most importantly thanks for always being there for me through all the highs and lows,” Owens once said, highlighting their mutual dedication. “So whenever it does, it’s really important for the both of us to show up and support,” Biles added, emphasizing their commitment to being present for one another.
Lately, Biles has been keeping fans guessing in more ways than one as she recently experienced a major health scare in June, which she claimed was “one of, if not the scariest experience of [her] life.” Despite this, she continues to inspire millions with her strength and grace. As Owens embarks on this new chapter with the Colts, the couple remains a powerful example of athletic excellence and partnership in the spotlight.
