Simone Biles has revealed that while her husband, Jonathan Owens, “knows so much about” gymnastics, she is still getting the hang of understanding football. The 27-year-old Olympic gold medalist discussed their knowledge of each other’s sports in a video shared on the official Olympics Instagram account.
“Well, I could probably explain it to a five-year-old,” Biles said when asked about her understanding of football. “But if I’m explaining it to a 25-year-old, might not make sense.” She went on to admit that her husband, who plays as a safety for the Chicago Bears, “knows so much about gymnastics” compared to her knowledge of football.
Biles’ comments reflect the couple’s playful dynamic as they navigate each other’s worlds of elite sports. In a recent interview with People magazine, Biles shared how far she has come in learning about football since meeting Owens.
“I’ve learned so much, and even some of his teammates’ wives are like, ‘Oh my gosh, you’ve come so far, you’ve learned so much,’” she said. “Because they’ve seen the journey.” Biles and Owens, who tied the knot on April 22, 2023, have been supportive of one another’s careers, balancing their demanding schedules as professional athletes.
The couple’s openness about their mutual learning experiences has resonated with fans, showcasing the strength of their relationship and their willingness to grow together. As Biles continues to adapt to life as an NFL wife and Owens embraces his role as the husband of a gymnastics icon, their journey serves as an example of how love and respect can bridge different worlds.
