Simone Biles has jetted off to Paris ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics, but she won’t be away from husband Jonathan Owens for long. The artistic gymnast shared a sweet photo with her boo promising that she would see him soon.
Simone, 27, took to her Instagram Stories on Monday, July 15, to share a selfie in which she leaned in close to a shirtless Jonathan, 28, who rested his cheek on his wife’s head. The couple smiled sweetly at the camera.
“See you in Paris baby,” she captioned the post.
Simone Biles and Husband Jonathan Owens' Complete Relationship Timeline Less than an hour later, the Olympic gold medalist shared a photo of a bed covered in a blue blanket featuring the American flag and the Olympic logo, signaling that she had arrived at her next destination.
Simone revealed in early July that Jonathan, who is a safety for the Chicago Bears, had been given permission to miss a few days of training camp in order to see his wife compete in the 2024 Summer Olympics , which kick off in Paris on July 26.
"The Bears are actually granting him a couple days off from training camp, so he'll be there, yes," she told USA Today . "For just a short little time."
Jonathan has been able to support Simone’s journey to this year’s Olympics throughout the summer because it did not interfere with the NFL’s schedule. However, the Bears’ training camp is scheduled to begin on July 23 — three days before the the Olympics’ opening ceremony.
Simone and her team have their qualification round on July 28, and the team final is scheduled for July 30. The women’s all-around final is scheduled for August 1. However, it’s unclear if Jonathan will be able to attend, as the Bears will be playing in the Hall of Fame Game that day in Canton, Ohio.
No matter how long Jonathan can stick around for the Summer Olympics, Simone is happy to have her husband by her side.
"Anytime we can show up for one another in support, we just get super excited because our schedules don't align that much," she told the outlet. "So whenever it does, it's really important for the both of us to show up in support."
Simone and Jonathan first began dating in August 2020. At the time, the NFL star had no idea that his would-be wife was famous.
