Miles Away From Jonathan Owens, Simone Biles Gushes Over First NFL Deal: “It’s About Kicking Back”

They say distance makes the heart grow fonder, and for Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens, that couldn’t be more true. This power couple has shown time and again just how much they adore each other, even though their hectic schedules often keep them apart. Since her Olympic triumph, Simone’s been all over the place—from headlining the Gold Over America Tour to promoting her documentary. Meanwhile, Jonathan’s tied up with a grueling NFL season playing for the Chicago Bears. And while they make time for the occasional dinner date, Simone’s admitted, “Long distance isn’t easy.”

Despite the miles, the couple recently turned heads with a sweet moment at Soldier Field on Sunday, November 10. However, based on their latest Instagram stories, the distance is back in play—Simone is training in Texas at the World Championship Center, while Jonathan’s in Chicago, spreading good vibes and food at the BBF Family Center. But here’s the twist: Simone’s now planning to be there for a big game in Jonathan’s career, thanks to a sponsorship she recently scored with an official NFL partner.

Simone Biles marks her first collaboration with the NFL through a crucial sponsor

On November 12th, California wine brand Barefoot raised a toast to a new partnership with none other than Simone Biles. Already a fan favorite on the NFL sidelines cheering for husband Jonathan Owens, Simone’s star power was the perfect pairing for Barefoot’s mission to make wine more accessible and fun for everyone. As the NFL’s official wine sponsor since 2022, Barefoot is aiming high with Simone, the GOAT herself, to reach fans from all backgrounds.

And they’re celebrating with an exclusive experience—Barefoot’s NFL Game Day Contest Winner will join Simone in the “Bandwagon Box” Suite, a luxury spot to catch the Chicago Bears take on the Green Bay Packers on November 17th. The winner even gets to bring three friends along for the game, which just so happens to be a big one for Jonathan, facing off against his former team for the first time as a Bear.

Simone is thrilled about this first-time NFL collab, saying, “You don’t need to know every play or every grape to enjoy both,” and adding, “It’s about kicking back and having a great time together.” With her easygoing approach and Barefoot’s playful vibe, this partnership is bound to be a fan favorite. Naturally, given the GOAT she is, this isn’t the only one of the notable sponsorships Simone has bagged throughout her illustrious career.

The notable sponsorships during Simone Biles’ career

Simone Biles’ stellar career hasn’t just dazzled fans—it’s had brands lining up for her signature. Among the long-term partners she’s chosen, Athleta tops the list. Since joining forces in 2021 after her departure from Nike, Simone Biles has become the face of the sportswear brand. “I partnered with Athleta because they saw confidence in me, and they just have such a huge platform, and I like how they said they inspire me in the gym and out of the gym,” she told NBC. Athleta also threw its weight behind her Gold Over America Tour, now a nationwide hit that just wrapped up its second edition.

Another key partner, GK Elite, has been in Simone’s corner since 2015, designing the signature leotards she and Team USA rock at the Olympics. Simone Biles renewed with them in 2021, cementing their bond. And then there’s Spieth America, her gymnastics equipment sponsor, who locked in a decade-long contract to support her with the tools she needs for greatness.

Many brands have dreamed of landing Simone, but only a handful have managed to keep up with her vision. Barefoot Wine now joins this exclusive list, and fans can’t wait to see how this collaboration will sparkle.

Miles Away From Simone Biles, Husband Jonathan Owens Gets Fans’ Support for Wholesome Venture: “So Thoughtful”

Distance, distance, distance—it feels like an uphill battle! But despite the miles between them, Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are a shining example that love can stand the test of time, no matter how busy life gets. Since tying the knot in April last year, they’ve had to juggle their careers—Biles with her gymnastics fame and Owens as a safety for the Chicago Bears.

Even with their plates full, they manage to keep their marriage in tip-top shape. This year, Jonathan Owens continued his tradition of giving back by partnering with the K.W.O.E. Foundation for his third annual Thanksgiving Holiday Drive. The event, held at the BBF Center For The Arts, saw Owens signing autographs for fans and, alongside other volunteers, distributing meals and gifts to 500 families.

Meanwhile, while Simone was celebrating Simone Biles Rising winning a Critics Choice Award for Best Sports Documentary, Jonathan was showing his love in a different way—dedicating his time to supporting the community in Chicago. He shared a series of pictures on his Instagram from the event, showing him and volunteers handing out large bags filled with donations and captioning them, “It’s a blessing to be a blessing.”

Owens could have easily spent this time with Simone, who had just wrapped up her Gold Over America tour, but instead, he chose to roll up his sleeves and get involved. It’s clear he is dedicated to making a difference, showing that giving back is as important as any personal achievement. While Simone was celebrating her own success, Jonathan was busy spreading holiday cheer, proving that love isn’t just about the good times together but also about supporting each other’s goals and uplifting the community, and this makes their fans prouder.

Fans are going wild over Jonathan Owens’ and Simone Biles big move

One fan said, “Blessings on blessings,” and another chimed in with, “This is powerful, Jowen!” But let’s be clear—Jonathan Owens isn’t just Simone Biles’ husband; he’s got his own story. Jonathan Owens entered the NFL in 2018 when he signed with the Arizona Cardinals. However, his rookie season was plagued by a knee injury.

In 2019, the Houston Texans signed him to their practice squad, and by January 2020, he had earned a reserve/future contract with the team. But beyond being married to one of the greatest Olympic gymnasts ever, Owens is a pro athlete too. In 2024, the 29-year-old joined the Chicago Bears on a two-year contract. Pretty impressive, right?

Fans are definitely excited about Jonathan Owens being a Bear! One wrote, “So happy you’re a Bear 🐻⬇️💙🧡,” while another said, “So thoughtful of you, to think of others. Let’s Go Bears!” Another fan chimed in with, “Thank you for your off the field contributions to our great city! We appreciate you.” It’s clear that Jonathan has a lot of support, but while he’s making his mark on the field, Simone Biles is making waves in the stands, too.

Even though the Bears lost to the Patriots 19-3, Simone, on November 11, still managed to steal the spotlight. With white skinny jeans, a white Bottega Veneta Cassette bag, and stylish heeled boots, she complemented a custom sweater from Distressed Merch 1of1, which featured Jonathan’s jersey number, the Bears’ logo, and his last name, striking the perfect balance between fashion and team pride.

This isn’t the first time Simone has turned heads with her game-day outfits—last season, when Jonathan was with the Houston Texans, she wore a custom tee by the same brand. Fans couldn’t help but gush over how stylish and supportive she is, and now everyone is looking forward to seeing what the duo will venture into next!

Shedding ‘Quitter’ Tag, Simone Biles Stands in Support of Those in Distress: ‘Not the Poster Child, but I’ll Support’

Mental health in the gymnastics realm was taboo. That was until Simone Biles decided to break all the stereotypes. Being vocal about keeping one’s mind and body at bay, things took a wild turn when Biles decided to quit the Tokyo Olympics. Having faced difficulties in syncing her body with her mind mid-air, Biles decided to draw a line. With the whole world watching, Biles made an audacious decision to prioritize herself before the games.

This was something new for the gymnastics fraternity. Because in the olden days, women’s gymnasts were perceived as ‘Little Girls in Pretty Boxes.’ While the world called Biles a ‘quitter,’ the US gymnastics queen showed guts to stand up for her. Biles did not hesitate to come out and defend herself, saying that her mind and body were of utmost importance. This idea of putting oneself above the sport was something that nobody was ready for.

And with the passage of time, Biles has become an unexpected advocate for mental health issues. In a recent interview with CNN, Biles mentioned how she supports and values every individual’s battle. Reflecting on the topic, the gymnastics GOAT stated that she did not want to be a ‘poster girl’ for the act. Instead, her victory lies solely in inspiring others to break the shackles and speak for themselves.

Biles said, “Everybody’s mental health journey is unique… I’m not the poster child for it, but I’ll support (anyone’s) mental health journey. Now people come up to me and they’re like, ‘I’ve been in therapy for the first time in my life, and thank you so much,’ There’s power in that. And I just know I’m helping people out there.” The 27-year-old’s brave approach did make a huge difference in the realm of gymnastics. The previously heavily sought after ‘No Pain, No Gain’ motto has been discarded by most since.

Speaking about the matter, Biles has earlier laid stress on how to deal with the mental struggles. She insisted that people facing problems must not hesitate to reach out for help. The Olympic gold medalist also reminded that human nature will try to suppress the idea of asking for help. She gave her own example after Tokyo, when she was down and out, and even considered retirement.

It was then that Biles took therapy and started to see drastic changes within weeks. Biles has also spoken about using an app called Cerebral. Having benefited significantly from the company, the Olympic champion is now working as the Chief Impact Officer for the brand. Interestingly, it was not only her fans that Simone Biles influenced. She also had her husband, Jonathan Owens, resort to therapy.

Simone Biles helps out Jonathan Owens with therapy

Jonathan Owens was a first-hand witness to Simone Biles’ struggles. Looking at her mentally bruised and battered wife, Owens offered all the help he could have at his disposal. However, the NFL star noticed something—his wife was showing drastic improvements while taking therapy. Now, Owens too, just like the others, was skeptical about therapy initially and thought that it actually did not serve a purpose.

Gradually, the Chicago Bears’ star became inspired and opted for therapy himself. Speaking on the incident on the Netflix documentary ‘Simone Biles Rising’, Owens stated, “She really opened my eyes.” Owens also said how Biles had asked her to opt for a therapist. Despite dismissing her initial advice, Owens did listen to his wife and it made all the difference. Looking back at his experience, Owens said, “It’s a humbling thing because you have to go back and look at yourself in the mirror.”

Thus, after conquering the gymnastics realm, Simone Biles has been actively looking to transform people’s lives too. This way, she truly stands as an exemplary figure who is not only concerned about her own professional field but is eager to make an impact for society’s greater good.
