In October, Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles showed major PDA with her husband, Jonathan Owens while attending one of his games, and earlier this month, the couple's body language spoke volumes about their rock-solid relationship. So, it comes as no surprise that now, Owens is giving a special shoutout to his wife after making a significant play on the football field.

On Sunday, when the Chicago Bears faced off against the Minnesota Vikings, Owens forced a fumble on Vikings running back Aaron Jones—and he wasted no time celebrating. The official Bears Twitter account released a clip of Owens and his team gathering in the end zone, where they paid tribute to Biles by imitating her famous landing pose.

In the video, Owens, with the football in hand, pauses to raise his arms just like Biles, and his teammates quickly follow suit. Meanwhile, Biles gets excited and smiles from ear to ear as she watches along from the suite. The gymnast took to her stories and reposted a snippet of the clip, adding a trio of hearts and laughing emojis.

One fan commented, "So cute, and the team supporting makes it even cuter." Another added, "The team understood the assignment."

Owens and Biles have been going strong since they tied the knot in Houston, Texas back in April 2023. They also held a second destination wedding in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with close family and friends. Earlier this year, both confirmed that starting a family is definitely in their future.

On the Today show, Biles told Hoda Kotb, "Me and Jonathan always talk about kids, and he would have had them yesterday if he could have. Obviously, we both have goals that we want to achieve before we start a family. But yes, that's definitely in our future."

Owens also confirmed the same to People, adding that he would support their endeavors, even if it's not in sports. He said, "I'll just support them a hundred percent. I don't want to force 'em and make it feel like you have to do this because we did. That does generally work out for kids."
