Simone Biles just keeps winning – on and off the mat. The seven-time Olympic gold medalist found herself in the spotlight again on Sunday, but this time it wasn’t for her flips and twists. It was all about her husband, NFL star Jonathan Owens, and a jaw-dropping play during the Chicago Bears‘ matchup against the Tennessee Titans.
The third quarter was winding down, and the Titans were sitting pretty with a comfy 17-3 lead. Soldier Field? Dead silent. Then, out of nowhere, Owens came through with the play of the game – scooping up a blocked punt and charging straight into the end zone. Talk about a momentum shift! The Bears came alive, cutting the Titans’ lead to 17-10, and suddenly, the stadium had a pulse.
Meanwhile, Biles was watching every moment, and you could feel her excitement through the screen. She took to X to share her heart-racing reaction, posting, “I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK.” Moments later, she followed up with a simpler, yet equally emotional, “my heart.” Guess it’s safe to say the gymnast was feeling the adrenaline just as much as the crowd.
For Owens, this wasn’t his first rodeo in the touchdown department. While he’s mainly known for his defensive skills, Sunday’s score marked only the second touchdown of his NFL career. The first? A 27-yard fumble recovery last season against the Detroit Lions. But hey, who’s counting?
This game was particularly special for Owens as it was his first in a Chicago Bears uniform after playing all 17 games with the Green Bay Packers last season. And if his Sunday performance was any indication, Bears fans might have a new defensive favorite to cheer for this season.

Owens and Biles are the ultimate power couple – both excelling in their respective fields. The pair first crossed paths in 2020 while Biles was prepping for the Tokyo Olympics, and sparks clearly flew. Fast forward to Valentine’s Day 2022, and they were engaged. By April 2023, they made it official, tying the knot in a lavish ceremony.
It seems like the newlyweds can’t stop making headlines, whether it’s Biles dominating on the gymnastics world stage or Owens making game-changing plays on the gridiron. Talk about relationship goals, right?
As Biles continues to rake in the medals – fresh off her four-gold performance in Paris – Owens is proving he’s just as clutch under pressure. Who knows what this power couple will conquer next? One thing’s for sure: the sky’s the limit for these two!
So, while the Bears ultimately didn’t complete the comeback, Owens’ epic play and Biles’ heartwarming reaction stole the show. Keep your eyes on this duo – they’re just getting started.
