This year has been quite overwhelming for the gymnastics GOAT, who decided to make her Olympic comeback. And through it all, her husband, Jonathan Owens, stuck through thick and thin.
The athlete-duo had already made waves with their love for one another despite this year bringing in some controversial moments with fans. The NFL star bagged a big contract with the Chicago Bears this year and, after a busy season, is excited to cheer for his wife.
In his recent post, he penned a lengthy dedication to Biles and her growth in the past few years as a gymnast. Despite all the shortcomings, he expressed his pride and joy in seeing her make it to Paris with flawless precision.

As the country unites to support Biles and her teammates for their Olympic appearance this year, the world of the NFL has come in strong, too. Owens, who plays as a safety for the Chicago Bears, was scheduled for some training camp sessions at the time of the big games. However, knowing that he would want to be supporting his wife from the sidelines, they made an announcement.
The NFL team has allowed a few days off from Owens’ training sessions so he could be in Paris at the time of her competition. This comes in after Biles’ stellar performance at the Olympics final trials, where she performed some gravity-defying stunts on the vault.
