After another dazzling Olympics, Simone Biles is a woman in high demand. In fact, the gymnast is so in demand that she may have to stop cheering on her husband in the NFL this season.
The 27-year-old, an Olympic all-around champion at the Paris Games, added three more golds and one silver to her glittering medal collection in the French capital this summer.
But with medals comes obligation, and Biles revealed she will have to make some sacrifices. While enjoying the golden glow of his victories.
Biles, who is set to marry Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens in 2023, revealed to her adoring fans that she won’t be able to attend as many of her husband’s NFL games this season.
With just over two weeks until the 2024 season begins, the gymnastics icon admitted in a TikTok video that she’ll be too busy to cheer on her boyfriend at Soldier Field and on the road this year due to her post-Olympic duties.

‘I don’t know how many games I’ll be able to do because in a few weeks we’re going on tour, and if you don’t know, it’s the Gold Over America Tour. “I think we’re doing about 32 stops right now,” Biles said.
The tour, a traveling gymnastics showcase that will feature a host of gymnastics stars including Biles and her gold medal-winning U.S. teammates Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles and Hezly Rivera, kicks off Sept. 16 in Oceanside, California.
It will make 30 stops across the United States and conclude in Detroit on November 3, which coincides with Week 9 of the NFL schedule, the midpoint of the regular season.
However, Biles could be able to watch the Bears’ season opener against the Tennessee Titans on Sept. 8, as well as the second half of the schedule and the postseason if Chicago secures a playoff spot.
Fresh from her triumph in Paris, it was Biles’ turn to take on cheerleading duties at her wedding over the weekend after Owens cheered her on from the stands at the Bercy Arena.
Biles attended the Bears’ preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals at Soldier Field on Saturday afternoon, but the Olympian made a fashion and soccer faux pas.
She appeared in support of Owens, wearing a custom jacket with black and white images of him printed on it.

The Olympian attended several of the NFL player’s games with the Packers last season.
Owens played one season in Green Bay last year before moving to Chicago.
The Olympic legend made a rookie mistake in the NFL, however, as several plays showed Owens in action for the Green Bay Packers, the Bears’ longtime rivals and his former team.
In addition to photos of Owens in a Packers uniform, a large Green Bay logo on his shoulder pad had been prominently featured in certain snapshots and videos.
Her attempts at a touching, supportive gesture toward Owens landed Biles in the middle of one of the league’s fiercest rivalries and fans were not impressed – one even claimed she should be “stripped of all her medals” for her fashion gaffe.
Owens played one season in Green Bay last year before moving to Chicago earlier this year, and Biles was seen regularly cheering him on at Packers games last season.
