Jonathan Owens hypes wife Simone Biles after she wins seventh Olympic gold medal
Jonathan Owens is celebrating wife Simone Biles’ latest Olympic triumph.
Taking to his Instagram Stories on Saturday, the Chicago Bears safety commemorated the star American gymnast, who won her third gold medal of the 2024 Paris Games with a first-place finish in the women’s vault final — bringing her Olympic gold medal total to seven.
“Just a reminder that my wife is THE S–T,” Owens, 29, posted alongside a photo of a smiling Biles, 27, at Bercy Arena on Saturday.
Biles scored 15.300 on the vault, defeating Brazil’s Rebeca Andrade (14.966) and fellow American Jade Carey (14.466).
Saturday’s win also brought Biles’ total Olympic medal count to 10 — the most earned by a U.S. gymnast.

Biles has dominated the 2024 Games with Team USA, with the squad — also comprised of Carey, Sunisa “Suni” Lee, Jordan Chiles and Hezly Rivera — winning gold in Tuesday’s team all-around.
Owens, who wed Biles last spring, had a front-row seat to her gold medal win in Thursday’s individual all-around, with the couple sharing the hand heart gestures inside Bercy Arena.
Biles’ sensational run in Paris comes three years after she withdrew from events at the Tokyo Games due to the “twisties,” a block in which gymnasts can lose a sense of where they are in the air that can result in a potentially dangerous landing.
Owens, who was first linked to Biles in 2020, supported the 4-foot-8 superstar during that tumultuous time.
“Your strength and courage is unmatched and you inspire me more and more everyday SB,” Owens expressed in a July 2021 Instagram tribute.
“You always gone be my champ baby and don’t you ever forget that, i love you so much and i can’t wait till you come home and i get to see that beautiful smile again. You know I’m always here for you baby.”
Owens, now preparing for his first season in Chicago after signing a two-year deal with the Bears in March, will continue to cheer on Biles, who can add more Olympic hardware to her collection Monday in the balance beam and floor exercise finals.
Should Biles win gold in those events, that would bring her Olympic gold medal total to nine, tying former Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina for top finishes by a gymnast.
