Simone Biles Supports Husband Jonathan Owens at Green Bay Packers Preseason Game: ‘My Lil Baby’
The Olympic gold medalist, 26, shared a series of posts on her Instagram Story Friday that showed her attending the Green Bay Packers’ first preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Owens, 28 — who Biles wed in a courthouse ceremony in April, before they said “I do” again for a second time in Cabo San Lucas — signed with the Packers as a free agent in May.
In one post, Biles shared a video of Owens on the field and highlighted his team number, writing, “GO 34” beside a white heart emoji. In another mid-game post, the athlete zoomed in on her husband, writing in her caption, “My lil baby.”
At the time, Biles posted a photo on Instagram showing her and her husband smiling, while Owens signed his contract with his new NFL team.
Owens, who previously played for the Houston Texans, also posted about the news on his Instagram, writing, “New beginnings. Perfect cap to an amazing week.
After graduating, he played at the college level while attending Missouri Western State University and earned the title of Male Student-Athlete of the Year during his final season.
After the 2020 Olympic Games were pushed back a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Biles told PEOPLE that getting to support Owens in person was one of the upsides of the postponement.
“What’s been really exciting is being able to experience life with my family and friends,” she said. “Getting to go to my boyfriend’s [NFL] games. I told him that I’ve never been to so many games in a season in my life. Because usually, I’m so busy and all over the place.”
