NFL safety Jonathan Owens proved once again that romance is alive and well, as he delivered an emotional birthday tribute to his wife, Olympic gymnastics legend Simone Biles, that left fans swooning.
The Chicago Bears player, known for his toughness on the field, showed a softer side as he shared a deeply personal love letter to Biles on her 28th birthday – a gesture that many are calling a “second proposal.”

In a touching post shared on March 14, Owens poured out his heart: “Happy birthday to my wife, my queen, my best friend, my everything. Being married to you is everything I could’ve ever asked for – a beautiful, funny, intelligent, and confident person that motivates me to be the best version of myself every day.
“I’m so blessed to have met someone as amazing as you, baby. I cherish every moment that we spend together. I promise to always make this day feel special. I love you so much.”
The message quickly caught the attention of fans, many of whom noted how far the couple has come since they first met during the pandemic.
From Dating App to Lifelong Bond: Biles and Owens’ Journey So Far
The love story between Biles and Owens began in early 2020, when they connected on the elite dating app Raya, just before the pandemic halted life as we knew it.
Their relationship blossomed quietly at first, with the couple making their engagement official in February 2022. By April 2023, they celebrated their union with an intimate courthouse ceremony in Houston, followed by a stunning destination wedding in Cabo.
Despite being married for nearly two years, Owens and Biles continue to show that their love is as strong as ever.
Owens‘ latest gesture comes after some past tension among Biles‘ fanbase – particularly when, in late 2023, Owens made headlines by joking that Biles had “chased him” during the early days of their romance.
Fans initially criticized Owens‘ comments, but his heartfelt birthday tribute seems to have repaired public perception, drawing praise and admiration from followers.
Meanwhile, Biles remains focused on her gymnastics career, with her eyes potentially set on the 2028 Olympics, where she could make history.
If she adds two more gold medals and seven more overall, she would tie Soviet legend Larisa Latynina for the most decorated female gymnast of all time. Biles is currently tied for second place in both categories with Vera Caslavska.
As for Owens, the NFL veteran is enjoying a rare quiet moment in his career. With his contract secured through 2025 with the Bears, Owens is making the most of the offseason to focus on family – and moments like this heartfelt tribute show that, off the field, his biggest win is at home.
Their love story, built on trust, respect, and growth, continues to inspire many, and as Biles prepares for what could be a historic chapter in her athletic career, she’ll do so with Owens firmly in her corner – proving that behind every strong woman is a partner who believes in her completely.
