Simone Biles turned up on Saturday to cheer on her man, the most decorated American gymnast in history made her way to Soldier Field in Chicago where her husband, Bears safety Jonathan Owens as Chicago defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 27-3. “Bear Down,” Biles shared on her Instagram Story.
Owens, who signed a two-year contract with the Bears in March after spending a season with the Green Bay Packers last year, made four tackles (three solo) during the preseason matchup.
Biles returns the favor after Owens cheers her on in Paris. The Bears granted Owens permission to be absent from training camp for several days, in addition to the Bears’ first preseason game against the Houston Texans, so Owens could watch Biles compete at the Olympics. Owens was present during the women’s gymnastics team final and the all-around final, where Biles earned gold. She picked up another gold (vault) and silver (floor) medal in Paris.
On Saturday, Biles has been wearing a sporting boot on her left foot as a precautionary measure after tweaking her calf during floor exercise warmups at the ParisGames earlier this month. It was another accessory, however, that had some Bears fans flipping out.
Biles paired a black romper and bucket hat with a custom jacket featuring Owens images. Bears fans quickly pointed out that Biles’ jacket featured images of Owens in his No. 34 Packers jersey.
“Okay @krisjuszczyk – time for a new custom Bears fit for @Simone_Biles!” one social media user wrote, referring to designer Kristin Juszczyk, the wife of San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk, who made went viral for creating custom gear for the likes of Biles, Taylor Swift, and Brittany Mahomes
Biles is scheduled to participate in the “Gold Over America Tour,” which kicks off Sept. 16 in Oceanside, California. The tour will make stops at 30 arenas across the U.S., including a date in Chicago on Sept. 29., the same day the Bears host the Los Angeles Rams.
