WATCH moment Simone Biles, husband Jonathan Owens shared heart gestures after she wins all-around gold at Olympics
Simone Biles only had eyes for her husband Jonathan Owens after winning her second gold medal at the Paris Olympics Thursday.
The Team USA gymnast locked eyes with the Bears safety after she placed first in the women’s individual all-around final, and held up a heart gesture with her hands.
Owens — who was sitting with Biles’ parents, Ronald and Nellie Biles, at Bercy Arena — made a heart gesture back in her direction.
It came just moments after Biles nailed her floor routine to win gold in the same event she dropped out of at the Tokyo Olympics on 2020 due to the “twisties.”
Owens, who sported a “Team Biles” T-shirt, was seen cheering on the NBC broadcast.
He stood up and pumped his arms after Biles closed the competition with a strong performance.
It featured her signature triple twisting double back and a mix of songs, including Taylor Swift’s, “Ready For It?”
“This is one of the hardest floor routines in the world,” former Team USA gymnast Laurie Hernandez said on the NBC broadcast.
The crowd went wild afterward and “USA!” chants roared through the arena.
Biles and her teammate, Suni Lee, who took home bronze, shared a hug.
They took off running onto the mat with an American flag when the final scores were revealed.
Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade, who put pressure on Biles during the competition, took home silver.
The 27-year-old Biles became the oldest woman to win the individual all-around since 1952.
The Americans won the women’s individual all-around final after Team USA — including Jade Carey and Hezly Rivera — secured gold in Monday’s team all-around final.
Owens was also in attendance at the all-around final.
Biles also showed off a silver diamond goat necklace during her victory lap Thursday.
Her six gold medals are more than any American gymnast, male or female, in history.
It’s unclear what Biles and Owens, who tied the knot last April, have planned for the rest of his time in Paris.
The Bears granted him a excused absences to support Biles at her third Olympics in Paris.
Both sides worked out that agreement when Owens signed a two-year deal with Chicago in March.
