2024 was a whirlwind year for both Simone Biles and her husband, Jonathan Owens. But honestly, the pair began being an actual long-distance couple immediately after the beautiful Cabo wedding that was held in April 2023, with Biles sharing on September 7, 2023, “Unfortunately, we’re actually long-distance, and we started long-distance like less than a week after we married.” This was especially so after Owens signed with Green Bay Packers and relocated to Wisconsin; things began to get complicated for the young couple. Biles admitted, “It’s been different,” but agreed, saying that it was, at least, for pursuing their dreams. She said, “At least we’re both focused on our careers, so it’s nice, and we really cherish the moments we get together.

Fast forward to 2024, and life didn’t slow down one bit. The Paris Olympics brought them together briefly, with Jonathan taking a break from his training to support Simone on the world’s biggest stage. But as the Gold Over America Tour started, the long-distance again came into the picture as Jonathan was focused on managing things with the Chicago Bears. Now, as 2025 emerges, it appears those long-distance blues are at last no longer a reality and Simone Biles is teasing a big life change to catch up on the time she’s lost with her NFL husband.

On January 18th, she took to her Instagram Stories with a photo of Jonathan Owens from a flight. Sitting in a warm brown hoodie, Jonathan seemed quite at ease as he sat near the airplane window with Netflix in hand, and he paused to take a pose for Simone’s camera. Beside him, Simone flexed her passport in the frame, dropping the ultimate hint that the power couple was off on yet another international adventure. “Love you bby,” Simone sweetly captioned the story, making it clear that it does not just travel goals but relationship goals too.

But it didn’t stop here! Simone Biles and her husband, Chicago Bears’ defensive back Jonathan Owens, made their date night an energetic one on January 17th at the sold-out Stegeman Coliseum in Athens. The pair could not hide their joy as they watched the Georgia gymnastics team lead by co-head coach, Cecile Canqueteau-Landi, Simone’s former personal coach for the past eight amazing years. It was an electrifying atmosphere as the GymDogs dominated the visiting Boise State Broncos by a score of 196.825-193.600.

Simone, rocking a bold red Georgia pullover, looked every bit the proud supporter while Owens, ever the doting husband, soaked in action by her side. It was a night when the GymDogs met the GOAT, and Athens fans couldn’t have asked for a better surprise. But wait a minute! Before this meet, the dynamic duo squeezed in a trip that wasn’t exactly overseas. And fun fact—it looks like it had been nearly a whole year since their last true international adventure!

Jonathan Owens has been relaxing for a while now since the Chicago Bears failed to make it to the NFL playoffs, and with Simone Biles by his side, he’s getting every moment right. Simone, in particular, has been happy to always have her biggest supporter by her side since the beginning of the year, and the power couple has hardly been seen apart. The Olympic icon posted a behind-the-scene selfie on Vtex Connect in New York on the 14th of January, 2025 with the caption, “Bring bae to work. @jowens.” In the snapshot, Owens looked effortlessly suave in a gray suit paired with a sleek black turtleneck, while Simone matched the vibe in her own chic black turtleneck and a silver chain, proving they’re not just a couple—they’re a stylish team.

But wait, the most memorable part of their New York trip was not the glitz, not the event–it was this hilarious cab calling scene. Simone shared a story with a caption that read “TAXIII…” in bold caps, but it was Owens’ repost that had fans cracking up. “First time for everything,” he wrote, revealing it was his very first experience hailing a cab the old-fashioned way. And if that wasn’t enough, think about their last tropical escape almost a year ago in February 2024.

Back then, Simone teased fans with glimpses of a dreamy getaway alongside her husband, kicking off the suspense with a beachside snapshot of Owens strolling amidst palm trees. Jonathan added to the intrigue by posting a jaw-dropping video of their oceanfront bungalow, with its endless horizon and lush greenery, giving major Hawaii vibes. Simone, ever the queen of surprises, kept the mystery alive by sharing airplane window shots of the island below, her “Prepare to be sick of me” caption, and even a lucky “444” moment from their travel route. Every detail, from the breathtaking views to their heart-eye-worthy snaps, screamed paradise! And now, as whispers of their next overseas adventure swirl, we’re wishing this duo nothing but bon voyage vibes for whatever exciting chapter lies ahead!
