Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens may not be competing in the 2024 Olympics, but he’ll play an important role for his wife, Simone Biles, when they go to Paris for the summer games.
Owens is embracing his “cheerleader” role for Biles heading to the Olympics, all while expressing his excitement to see his partner attempt to make more history in the quadrennial event.
The 28-year-old NFL vet shared as much in a recent interview with People, highlighting that it’s “super exciting” because he gets a “chance to see all the work that she puts in prior to.”
“I love watching [it] from an athlete’s perspective because that’s how you’d be great in any sport, is just being consistent and doing the same thing consistently good every day,” Owens further said on cheering for his wife and watching her train and compete.
“You know what I mean? I love to watch it and I love to be out there and be a cheerleader.”
For what it’s worth, during his years of watching Simone Biles train and compete, Jonathan Owens also took the time to learn about gymnastics in order to fully embrace his role as a “supportive” husband.
“I know the routines. I’m getting the score down. If I’m going to pay attention to it, I have to lock in. I’m going to go full in … So I had to make sure I did some research so I can talk gymnastics language,” Owens shared.
It’s certainly amazing to see how supportive Owens has been for Biles. Without a doubt, he’ll bring some extra motivation for his Olympian wife later this July when the Paris games officially commence.
