Simone Biles, newly married to husband Jonathan Owens, is enjoying marital bliss but has no plans to have children just yet. In response to comments about her potentially being pregnant, Biles took to Instagram to ask people to stop speculating about her personal life.
The Olympian Biles, 28, attended the Green Bay Packers game against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium on Monday, December 11 to support her husband Owens. She shared a post on Instagram showcasing her game day attire, which featured a brown bodysuit, a camouflage jacket, and a black beanie with Owens’ #34 on the brim. (The Packers ended up losing 10-27.)
On Wednesday, Biles clarified, "I’m not pregnant."
Biles and Owens met on the dating app Raya in March 2020, and after two years together, Owens proposed in 2022. The couple tied the knot in April of the same year. Biles has been a supportive partner, cheering on Owens' NFL team at both home and away games. During a game against the Kansas City Chiefs on December 3, Biles was seen giving Owens a sweet pregame kiss on the sidelines.
Despite being a dedicated supporter of Owens on the field, Biles is also fully focused on her gymnastics career, proving that she can excel as a professional athlete while also being a wife. In an interview with Olympics.com in October, she challenged the stereotype that being a wife means giving up on her athletic ambitions, stating "And I came to the realization, like, yeah, I can still be a wife and be out there."
Biles reiterated: "I am also being deliberate in my personal life, prioritizing time for myself and my husband, spending time with my family, and going on vacations. Previously, I was solely dedicated to gymnastics, but now I feel connected to many other aspects of life, and gymnastics is just one part of my day."

Biles and Owens have a long-distance marriage as she trains in Texas and his NFL team is based in Wisconsin.
Biles shared with Olympics.com that it was quite remarkable how he left immediately after the wedding. Owens had signed with the Packers before the current NFL season. Having two professional athletes in the relationship is enjoyable, despite the assumption that they compete often. Biles pointed out that while Owens is competitive, she is not. Whether they are playing video games or cards, she finds it fun and doesn't mind if she wins or loses.
