Simone Biles Set for Move as Husband Jonathan Owens Signs with Indianapolis Colts
Olympic gymnastics icon Simone Biles is preparing to relocate to yet another city following her husband's latest NFL move. Jonathan Owens, the safety and spouse of the seven-time Olympic gold medalist, has agreed to terms with the Indianapolis Colts on a one-year contract, as reported by NFL insider Adam Schefter. This transfer marks Owens' third team in just four years, continuing a dynamic period for the sports power couple.
Owens' NFL Journey and Performance Statistics
Owens departs the Chicago Bears after two seasons, during which he appeared in all regular-season and playoff games. His tenure in Chicago saw him play 40 percent of defensive snaps in 2024, though his role shifted primarily to special teams in 2025. Over both seasons, he accumulated 68 total tackles, one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries, and one interception across 17 games each year. Despite making 17 regular-season appearances last season, his playing time was limited to 47 defensive snaps and 264 on special teams.
Prior to his stint with the Bears, Owens had spells with the Green Bay Packers and Houston Texans, showcasing his versatility and resilience in the league. The Colts' acquisition comes as a strategic reinforcement at safety, following Nick Cross's recent departure to the Washington Commanders earlier this week.
Biles' Sideline Presence and Fashion Faux Pas
Simone Biles has become a familiar face on the sidelines during her husband's games, though her support has not been without controversy. When Owens first joined the Bears from their rivals, the Packers, Biles stirred attention by wearing a custom jacket featuring Owens in a Packers jersey with the team's logo prominently displayed. This occurred at a Bears preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals on August 17, 2024, at Soldier Field, drawing criticism from some Chicago fans.
However, Biles quickly adapted, turning heads with weekly Bears-themed game-day outfits and becoming a prominent fixture at events. Her dedication was evident when she shared a warm hug with Bears President and CEO Kevin Warren before a postseason game in January, solidifying her connection to the team and its community.
Future Moves and Personal Life
With Owens' move to the Colts, the Bears lose both the player and his high-profile wife, as the couple settles into their new home in Indianapolis. Beyond the NFL circuit, the pair maintains a permanent base in Texas, where they are constructing a $3 million mansion, reflecting their commitment to stability amidst the transient nature of professional sports careers.
This relocation underscores the challenges and opportunities faced by athlete families, blending personal milestones with professional demands in the spotlight of public scrutiny.
