As Simone Biles prepares to represent Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics, she took the time to wish her husband, Jonathan Owens, a happy birthday from afar. The gymnast shared a carousel of photos of the pair and wrote a sweet message wishing her husband, Chicago Bears safety, a happy birthday. “Happy happy birthday to my husband, best friend, confidant and party goer. Thanks for being the calm to my storm! I love you with all my heart and I can’t wait to see what this year brings! Let’s do it big baby. Wish I was there to celebrate you, but I’ll see you soon!!! XO,” Biles captioned the post.

Biles, the seven-time Olympic medalist, recently landed in Paris ahead of the 2024 Olympics, which will be her third time competing on the Olympic team. Owens, who is currently going through NFL training camp, has been granted a few days off to fly out to Paris to cheer on his wife. Owens recently opened up in an interview with People about being able to watch Biles soar to new heights in her career. “It’s super exciting just because I get a chance to see all the work that she puts in prior to, and you know what? Everything she goes through and dealing with the media and everything, and she still goes out there and does it,” he said. “It’s just impressive and goes to her training mindset and consistency. That’s the biggest thing is how consistent,” he added. When asked how he feels watching Biles compete from an “athlete’s perspective,” Owens said, “I love to watch it and I love to be out there and be a cheerleader.”
The Paris Olympics are set to begin on July 26th, airing on NBC and Peacock.
