Is the emotional strain of distance taking a toll on Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens’ relationship?

Distance seems to be never-ending for Jonathan Owens and Simone Biles these days. After wrapping up the Gold Over America Tour on 3rd November, Simone was really looking forward to spending some quality time with her husband. As Biles once puts it, “cherish the moments that we get together, “But when it came down to it, she couldn’t be there for his game on November 3. Jonathan was playing with the Chicago Bears against the Arizona Cardinals, and it turned out to be a rough outing for the Bears, who lost 29-9. They just couldn’t get anything going, failing to score a touchdown and giving up a staggering 213 rushing yards.

As the Gold Over America Tour wrapped up, it just so happened to be the final performance day, which meant Simone Biles couldn’t be there to support her husband, Jonathan Owens. You could really feel her absence in the gymnastics community, but what hit everyone the hardest was seeing her in tears.

Biles shared a touching collage on Instagram, and one of the pictures showed her with swollen eyes, and with tears clearly upset. Fans really felt for her, recognizing how tough things can be for athletes behind the scenes. It made people wonder: could her tears be linked to the distance from Jonathan? It’s possible, especially since they haven’t spent much time together since their marriage, and that distance has always been a thorn in their side.

 

Since tying the knot in 2023, Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens have been trying to make their long-distance relationship work. Biles opened up, saying, “As soon as we got married, we’ve been long-distance the whole time, and now I’m doing this tour, so it’s like, when are we going to see each other?” Their romance shifted course following their marriage, in Cabo San Lucas in Mexico; when Owens joined the Green Bay Packers and relocated to Wisconsin after their wedding day, putting distance between them from the beginning of their journey together. This particular year seemed eventful for both of them. As Biles was preparing for the Paris Olympics and Owens was occupied with his start, at the Chicago Bears- new team.

After the Olympics ended Biles immersed herself in the Gold Over America Tour adding to the whirlwind of their schedules. With Thanksgiving approaching fans were eager for the couple to come together and show support. It seems that won’t be happening this year.

The heart-wrenching reality of Simone Biles and Owens’ long-distance love
A week ago, during an interview with Click On Detroit, Simone Biles discussed the challenges of being married to a professional athlete. She explained, “Usually, some of the wives, we stay home because they get on a flight right after that game, so we’re usually back home waiting for them. Because if not, we don’t know when we’ll be able to get home and spend that holiday with them.” When asked about her plans for the upcoming Lions-Bears game on November 28, where she would support her husband, Jonathan Owens, who plays for the Bears, Biles offered a thoughtful yet uncertain response: “We’ll have to see since it is Thanksgiving.”
