Simone Biles Had The Funniest Response To Her Husband Leaving The Green Bay Packers To Play In Chicago

By

Simone Biles‘s husband is leaving the Green Bay Packers and she couldn’t be happier.

That’s not often the reaction WAGs have when their boyfriends and spouses get a one-way ticket to a new team. However, for the Olympic gold medalist, who is based in Texas, not having to travel to see husband Jonathan Owens play in Green Bay, Wis., and instead, finding her way to his new home in Chicago where he will play for the Bears, is something to celebrate. Aside from the great food and the many sights and sounds in the Windy City, the Biles is excited to have a direct flight to see her hubby in action.

Biles did show love to the city of Green Bay, and the Packers organization, tweeting, “just wanted to say thank you packer nation for embracing my husband & I” she wrote before adding, “green bay will always hold a special place in our hearts!”

She went further in her kind words, noting that her enthusiasm for Chi-Town shouldn’t be misconstrued as anything negative towards Green Bay after a cheesehead (the name for Packers fans and Wisconsin-ites) asked her to “be respectful.” She responded, “I will always respect green bay & the packers! It just made it difficult (connecting flights) because I was training haha,” she wrote.

Owens also showed love to his former team following the news of his new two-year contract. “Appreciate it @packers for the opportunity 🙏🏽 And Packer nation for welcoming me and my wife with open arms, will never forget my time in GB.”

Owens played for the Packers for one season, signing for the team in May of 2023. He was previously with the Houston Texans from 2019 to 2022, and got his start in the league with the Arizona Cardinals after being an undrafted free agent in the 2018 NFL draft.

The couple, who started dating early in the pandemic, married in April 2023.

So what’s next for the Olympic champion as she prepares for life in Chicago? Well, after the Summer Games in Paris, where she will defend her title as the greatest gymnast there ever was, it sounds like she’ll be indulging in all the food the city has to offer.

Biles wrapped up her excitement about the new beginnings by showing love to her man. “So incredibly proud of my husband,” she wrote. “The grind never stops! this is just the beginning!”

Too sad: Jonathan Owens humiliated twice in front of wife Simone Biles during loss to 49ers

By

Owens was first crushed by 49ers TE George Kittle on an incredible reception

Green Bay Packers safety Jonathan Owens was humiliated twice during the team’s NFC Divisional Round loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night at Levi’s Stadium as his wife Simone Biles watched from the stands.

Owens, 28, was first crushed by Niners tight end George Kittle on an incredible reception and yards after catch. That was just a football play, though. The real embarrassment came later.

Fans on social media had a field day with a clip of Owens flopping after 49ers tackle Trent Williams slightly pushed him.

Williams, 35, is a big man, but Owens clearly flopped after contact. Fans were especially angry due to his recent history with Biles.

Why do fans hate Jonathan Owens?
Owens went viral last month when he appeared on a podcast alongside Biles and claimed she was the one to approach him via a dating app.

Biles, 26, never stopped supporting her husband throughout the drama as fans said she deserved better. The Olympic gymnast will likely do the same this time around.

Owens flopping and getting man-handled by Kittle is more than enough to keep the hate going for a while longer, especially since Green Bay could not pull off the upset.

“LETS GO 34 ,” she wrote. “I love you so much & Im so proud of you.”

Biles, a four-time Olympic gold medalist, flew to Dallas to support Owens in person, sporting a custom black leather jacket adorned with his jersey number and “Mrs. Owens” in green and white crystals.

Simone Biles’ husband Jonathan Owens put on blast by Jason and Travis Kelce on their podcast

Owens was not safe from jokes, even from his fellow NFL players

Jonathan Owens, husband of American Olympian Simone Biles, knows a thing or two about being the butt of a joke on a podcast.

But he probably didn’t expect for the latest people to crack a joke about his controversial statements about his relationship with Biles to be a duo of fellow NFL players: Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce.

On the latest episode of their chart-topping New Heights Podcast, the entertaining brothers proved that not even fellow NFL players are safe from their jokes.

Kelce brothers joke about Jonathan Owens
As they looked over the nominees for the People’s Choice Award Athlete of the Year award, which Travis Kelce was nominated for, Jason saw Biles in the same category and couldn’t pass up a chance to rip on Owens.

“How is Simone Biles on this but her boyfriend isn’t?” the older Kelce brother said in typical deadpan fashion.

He has proved repeatedly on the podcast that he is clued into trending social media topics, such as the Owens and Biles discourse. He is well known for dropping Easter eggs to Swifties on the show about Travis’ relationship with Taylor Swift.

The joke referenced Owens’ claim on The Pivot podcast that he was the “catch” in their relationship and that he did not who Biles was when they first met, despite her massive popularity and athletic achievement, especially compared to his.

Biles and Kelce nominated for debated People’s Choice Award
Biles inclusion in the Athlete of the Year nomination alongside mega stars like Kelce, LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Coco Gauff and Lionel Messi underlines why many questioned Owens for not being aware of his future wife’s career.

The People’s Choice Awards faced huge backlash on social media last week for its selection of finalists for Athlete of the Year. While many of the names were obvious, Sabrina Ionescu’s inclusion raised eyebrows, as fans felt there were better women’s basketball players who could be included, such as her MVP-winning teammate Breanna Stewart or WNBA Finals MVP A’ja Wilson.

She and her friends may have rubbed some locals the wrong way after making multiple displays in a club that said “Go Pack Go.”

One of the people she partied alongside was Frankie Kmet, who is also dating a player on the Packers, linebacker Lukas Van Ness. Frankie is no stranger to receiving heat for supporting the Packers, as she is the sister of Cole Kmet, who plays for Green Bay’s arch rival, the Chicago Bears.

Owens defended his claim on a Vanity Fair exclusive where Biles is on the cover

In a recent Vanity Fair cover story, Jonathan Owens, husband of gymnastics legend Simone Biles, addressed the persistent disbelief surrounding his claim that he had “no clue” who Biles was when they first connected on the exclusive dating app Raya.

Owens claims he didn’t follow gymnastics
Owens insists that, at the time they met on the app, he was focused on a training camp at his alma mater, Missouri Western State University, and was oblivious to the Rio de Janeiro Olympics where Biles achieved iconic success.

“I never once was like, ‘Oh, let me check gymnastics out,'” he explained.

Owens quickly caught up on Biles’ achievements when he found her on Instagram.

“I was like, ‘Man, she got a lot of followers; she must be pretty good,'” he told Vanity Fair.

The NFL safety faced skepticism when he previously claimed ignorance during a joint podcast appearance with Biles in December.

“When she won the Olympics, I was in college, and we didn’t have NBC… So I’m not paying attention,” he said on The Pivot podcast.

Simone Biles seemingly wants her fans to stop talking about her after her Green Bay Packers’ husband Jonathan Owens recently admitted he didn’t know who she was before they met.

Biles reposted a message that read ‘STOP BRINGING ME UP’ followed by 14 laughing-face emojis, and concluded with ‘work on that for the new year’ on her Instagram story on Wednesday.

The message doesn’t directly reference Owens’ assertions, but with his comments about his now-wife going viral in recent days, it can be seen as an unofficial response from Biles.

The repost isn’t her latest Instagram story, with a message of ‘good morning’ and a blacked out screen with three emojis — a gymnast, a dizzy face, and a burning heart — also being shared Thursday morning.

Owens’ recent appearance on ‘The Pivot Podcast’ garnered harsh criticism after he revealed he’d never heard of Biles before they started dating in 2020.

Owens and Biles met on the celebrity dating app Raya, when she was already a four-time Olympic gold medalist and considered one of the greatest gymnasts of all-time.

The couple met online during the height of the coronavirus pandemic while Owens was a member of the Houston Texans and Biles had her chance to continue Olympic dominance delayed a year.

During his podcast appearance, Owens said he never paid much attention to gymnastics. He must’ve quickly gotten up to speed once he met Biles.

Biles and Owens got engaged last year and got married in April.

A source told DailyMail.com in June that Biles’ return to gymnastics was in large party thanks to Owens convincing her to do so.

While training for a hopeful Olympic return, Biles has been on the sidelines and crowd during plenty of Packers’ games to support her husband.

It’s unclear whether Biles knew who Owens was when they matched on Raya as well.

Before becoming romantically linked with his now-wife, Owens had less of an individual spotlight than Biles due to her domination on all four gymnastics disciplines.

The encounter, captured by the official “Sunday Night Football” account, showcased Kahlow’s admiration for the legendary gymnast.

From the front row, he hailed Biles as the “greatest of all time” and presented her with custom-made gifts, an iconic leotard-wearing GOAT hat that instantly became the latest Lambeau fashion statement.

Simone Biles goes wild as her husband scores his first-ever touchdown…on Thanksgiving

By

Thanksgiving Day is a time to and celebrate friends and family — but in the NFL, some players have to go to work on a day typically reserved for rest, relaxation, and togetherness.

This was the case for Green Bay Packers safety Jonathan Owens, who had to play Thursday at Ford Field in Detroit against the Lions. And Owens certainly made the most of the Thanksgiving Day showcase, returning a fumble in the first quarter for his first touchdown in pro football — which received quite the reaction from his wife, globally-recognized gymnast Simone Biles.

Biles was overjoyed
Biles, one of the greatest athletes on planet Earth, posted on X (formerly Twitter) almost immediately after Owens scooped up a loose ball and returned it 27 yards to extend the Packers’ first-quarter lead.

Biles’ celebratory post, typed in all caps, celebrated “her man” making the most of the moment and reaching the end zone for the first time in his five-year career.

Biles and Owens were married in April after nearly three years of dating. Biles has enjoyed a sensational 2023 professionally as well as personally — she won her sixth gold medal at the 2023 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Belgium last month.

Packers lit up Lions in first half
Owens’ Packers made it look easy in the first half of the Thanksgiving game. The Green Bay defense made life uncomfortable for Lions quarterback Jared Goff, who fumbled twice and struggled with his accuracy. The Packers led 23-6 at the break, with Owens’ fumble recovery one of two turnovers the visitors forced in the first two quarters.

The Packers’ execution on offense may have been the most surprising facet to the first half, but Owens’ touchdown will prove to be a memorable moment — and one that Biles, at least, will celebrate long past Thanksgiving’s end.
