How Packers’ Jonathan Owens supported wife Simone Biles in gymnastics return

Distance doesn’t stop Simone Biles and husband Jonathan Owens from cheering on each other.

As Biles made her return to competitive gymnastics on Saturday following her struggles at the 2020 Olympics, Owens — a safety on the Green Bay Packers — sprinted to the locker room at Lambeau Field to see how she did.

Owens, who was first linked to Biles in 2020, added how they “stayed up until about 3 in the morning just on the phone, just talking and reliving the moment.”

“I know it felt like a dream to her so I was super excited for her,” he said.

The four-time Olympic gold medalist won the all-around, balance beam, floor and vault titles at the Core Hydration Classic in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.

“Everything has fallen into place,” Biles, 26, said after the win, according to ESPN.
“I feel really good about where I am right now, mentally and physically.

There are some things to work on in my routines, but for the first meet back, I would say it went pretty well. I’m very shocked and surprised.”

Biles pulled out of multiple events at the Summer Olympics in Tokyo after suffering a bout of the “twisties,” which can cause a gymnast to lose a sense of where they are in the air and could possibly lead to a dangerous landing.
