Simone Biles’ loyalty will be tested this weekend as her husband Jonathan Owens and the Bears play her hometown Texans on “Sunday Night Football” this weekend.
The 11-time Olympic medalist grew up 40 minutes north of Houston in Spring, Texas, where she was raised by her grandparents. Biles has been a Texans fan her whole life, even appearing as the team’s first-ever honorary cheerleader at the beginning of the 2017 season.
She met Owens when he was on the Texans in 2020, allowing her to cheer for both her hometown team and her significant other. However, he moved to the Packers in 2023 and now suits up for Chicago, forcing Biles to re-evaluate her NFL alliances.
Sunday’s meeting between her two favorite teams is one the gymnast will likely not want to miss. The Sporting News has you covered with updates on if Biles is watching her husband in the Bears Week 2 matchup against the Texans.

Is Simone Biles at the Bears vs. Texans game today?
In an interview with KHOU 11’s Jason Bristol, Biles revealed she wouldn’t be able to attend the Bears-Texans game due to the demands of her tour rehearsals.
“It’s one of our last days of tour rehearsals and I know we’re gonna probably do full dress rehearsal, so I have to be there for that. So we’ll see,” she said. “[Owens] understands and I’ll be watching it always.”
