Football season is officially back — and Simone Biles wouldn’t miss a moment with her husband, Jonathan Owens, on the sidelines before kickoff.
“Back to INDY,” Biles, 29, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, September 12, sharing an airport pic of her luggage as she prepared to board a flight to Indianapolis.
After touching down in Indiana, Biles got all glammed up for Owens’ season opener against the Colts. (The NFL safety, 31, signed with the Colts in March after spending the previous season with the Chicago Bears.)
For Sunday’s home game against the Baltimore Ravens, Biles rocked a plunging Colts-blue halter top embroidered with Owens’ last name across the bodice. The back, meanwhile, featured his No. 38 jersey number.
For glam, Biles entrusted hairstylist Erica Lueken to style her dark dresses in loose waves. Makeup artist Brianca Johnson, for her part, applied a full beat to complete the gymnast’s look.
“Kicking off the season game day glam for my girl @simonebiles 💙🏈🙌🏾,” Johnson captioned Instagram footage of Biles’ glam process.
Greeting her man on the sidelines before the game, Biles and Owens sweetly shared a kiss for the crowd.
Owens, who previously played for the Houston Texans and the Green Bay Packers, began dating Biles in 2020 amid the coronavirus pandemic.
“It was one of the few times in her life where everything was just shut off and she couldn’t do anything,” Owens told Texas Monthly in 2021, detailing the origins of the pair’s love story. “We used it to get to know each other — really get to know each other. It created our bond and made it stronger. Now, I’m so thankful.”
While Owens was initially unaware of Biles’ Olympic accomplishments, they managed to connect on a personal level that transcended their respective careers. The pair, who said “I do” in 2023, have since become one another’s biggest cheerleaders.
“It is not much motivation you need to do, just because you don’t want to put extra, added pressure on anyone. I just tell her, ‘Go do your thing, baby,’” Owens exclusively told Us in July 2024 of supporting his wife’s gymnastic meets. “You get a different type of focus whenever you just have this one person that you’re focusing on.”
He continued, “I’ve played a lot better since [meeting Simone]. I’ve just been focused and locked in, and you come home, talk about my day and play with the dogs, you know what I mean? That’s just kind of, like, our thing.”
