Simone Biles Returns from the Olympics & Supports Her Boyfriend on the Football Field

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are quickly becoming one of our favorite celebrity couples.

The two have been showing all kinds of love and support for each other over the past few weeks. When Biles announced her exit from the team and all-around finals at the Tokyo Olympics, Owens posted a slideshow of the gymnast on his Instagram and said, “Imma ride with you through whatever baby. Your strength and courage are unmatched and you inspire me more and more every day SB. 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.”

Meanwhile, the NFL athlete later posted a story congratulating his girlfriend on her bronze medal win in the balance beam finals.

Now, Biles is returning the favor. After completing her run at the Olympics (and taking home two medals), the gymnast showed up to Owens's open practices to show her support for the Houston Texans player.

Biles shared a photo of herself snuggling up next to Owens on the football field and she said, “Open practices aka bring your girlfriend to work day.”

Meanwhile, Biles was captured hanging out in the stands with Kirby, the Texans pup. The image was shared on the official Houston Texans Instagram, which Biles reposted to her own story and said, “Nothing better than football & puppies.”

Biles and Owens have been dating since they met in March of 2020, and it seems like they're still going stronger than ever. In an interview with Texas Monthly, Owens said, “This was a match made in heaven. There’s no better person for me. She loves me, she’s so affectionate. I just love that.”

We couldn't be more obsessed.
