The announcement was made on Friday, March 21, through a heartfelt joint social media post accompanied by a tender photo of the couple. In the image, Biles is cradling her baby bump, while Owens stands lovingly beside her.
Their statement radiated happiness and anticipation, reading, “We’re beyond excited to welcome our little one into the world. Our greatest adventure yet is about to begin, and we couldn’t be more thrilled.” The post instantly drew an outpouring of congratulations from fans and fellow athletes alike.
A new chapter for Biles and Owens
The pregnancy news marks a beautiful milestone for the couple, who got married in April 2023. Since then, they have been open about their desire to build a family together, often expressing their excitement about parenthood.
Simone Biles, who has achieved unparalleled success as a gymnast with seven Olympic medals and numerous World Championship titles, remains one of the most admired athletes in the world.
Her strength, determination, and resilience continue to inspire millions. Meanwhile, Jonathan Owens, who plays as a safety for the Chicago Bears, has been making strides in his football career, earning praise for his dedication and skill on the field.
In a brief interview following their announcement, Biles expressed her joy over the new journey, saying, “We’ve always talked about building a family. To see it actually happening feels surreal. Jonathan and I are so ready to give this little one all the love in the world.”
Owens added, “I can’t wait to be a dad. Seeing Simone as a mom is going to be the most amazing thing.”
From Olympic glory to family life
For Biles, this announcement comes after a triumphant return to the Olympic stage during the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she further solidified her legacy as one of the greatest gymnasts of all time.
After years of excellence in her sport, Biles hinted at her desire to slow down from competition to focus on family life. “I’ve accomplished so much in gymnastics, but there’s so much more I want to experience as a wife and, someday, a mom,” she previously shared in a 2024 interview.
Although the couple has not disclosed their baby’s due date or gender, fans are already speculating about whether the child will inherit Biles’ athleticism, Owens’ football prowess, or perhaps both. Regardless, it’s clear their little one will be welcomed into a loving and supportive environment.
Their journey from sports superstars to soon-to-be parents has been nothing short of inspiring. As the world eagerly awaits the arrival of their first child, Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens continue to show that their partnership is built on love, resilience, and a shared excitement for the future.
