The Paris 2024 Olympic Games are just a few weeks away and there is one athlete that has a huge opportunity to win a gold medal. American gymnast Simone Biles arrives as one of the main sports figures of the summer event, and to ensure that she has all the motivation and support possible, she has received a very special gift from the NFL.

The Chicago Bears gave permission to her husband, Jonathan Owens, to travel and support her. This was announced by the Olympic athlete in an interview for USA Today, in which she thanked the franchise for the gesture in favor of her husband, whom she married just last year and is currently carrying out previous training camps before the start of the 2024 season.

The start of competitions for Simone Biles will be on July 28, when she will be part of the qualifying rounds in the team events. On August 1, she will have his commitment in the individual all-around, so Owens will not be available for the NFL Hall of Fame game, where the Bears will play against the Houston Texans.

A romance made in heaven and sports

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens have been together since 2020, thanks to an online dating platform. It will be the first time that the Bears defender travels to see her at the Olympics after missing the Tokyo edition in 2021, however, the relationship is stronger than ever.

During the offseason, and when the gymnast is not in competition, both lived together in Spring, Texas, where the World Champions Center is located, a place where the multiple Olympic medalists usually train on a daily basis.

Jonathan Owens signed an agreement as a free agent with the Chicago Bears in March of this year for two seasons, worth $4.75 million, after having spent the last season with the Green Bay Packers, where Simone Biles was attending constantly to support him, to the point of winning the hearts of the fans at Lambeau Field.
