When it comes to cheering on the love of his life, Jonathan Owensdoesn't mess around. The Chicago Bears safety has taken his support to the next level as his wife, the incomparable Simone Biles, gears up for the 2024 Paris Olympic trials. Forget just a bouquet of flowers or a "good luck" card; Owens is bringing out the big guns: Louis Vuitton.
If you follow Biles on Instagram (and really, who doesn't?), you might have caught a glimpse of the sweet surprises Owens has been showering her with. The details of the latest gift are hush-hush, but we know it's Louis Vuitton, and we know Biles was floored. Her reaction? A mix of joy and disbelief, captured in her Instagram stories.
And that's not all. Biles and Owens also squeezed in a cozy dinner date, complete with snaps of their food and drinks, and another round of Instagram stories. Biles' caption summed it up: "WHYYYYY ." This isn't the first time Owens has pulled out all the stops for his Olympic champion wife. Remember the Chanel bag he surprised her with during their pre-wedding celebrations in 2023? "The sweetest surprise from my future husband," Biles had gushed at the time.
Right now, Biles is in Minneapolis, laser-focused on qualifying for the Paris Olympics, aiming to add more gold to her already legendary collection. Owens, no doubt, is her biggest fan, cheering her on with every vault, twist, and turn.
Simone Biles stands up for husband Jonathan Owens amid social media criticism
But it hasn't all been smooth sailing for the couple. Earlier this year, the internet decided it had opinions on Owens after his appearance on "The Pivot podcast," where he casually mentioned he didn't know who Biles was when they first met. Cue the social media backlash. Biles, ever the fierce protector, was quick to defend her husband. Speaking to TODAY, she made it clear: "That really hurt that they were talking about my husband like that because for me, it's like, talk about me all you want, but don't come for my family. Never."
Biles didn't stop there. She shared how Owens "worships the ground she walks on," and how the criticism stung more than she anticipated. "I thought it was hilarious at first and then they hurt my feelings. One night, I broke down and I'm like, 'why are you guys talking about my husband like this? You don't know him, you don't know who he is, and if anybody's met him, they know he's the sweetest guy and will do anything for anybody.'"
With Paris on the horizon, expect to see Owens front and center, cheering on his superstar wife. And who knows? There might be another Louis Vuitton bag-or something even more extravagant-waiting in the wings.
