Balancing Fame and Privacy
The conversation naturally shifted to his marriage with Biles, where Owens addressed the challenges of being in the spotlight. He acknowledged the public interest in their relationship, which sometimes leads to scrutiny and controversy. “It can be tough when people have opinions about our lives, but we focus on what matters most—supporting each other,” he stated.
Controversial Topics
Owens also tackled some of the more controversial discussions surrounding Biles, particularly in light of her decisions during the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. He expressed his unwavering support for her choices, emphasizing that mental health is just as important as physical performance. “People need to understand that she’s not just an athlete; she’s a person first,” he said, urging fans to recognize the pressures elite athletes face.
A Unified Front
Despite the challenges, Owens spoke about the strength of their partnership. He highlighted the importance of communication and mutual respect in their relationship, noting that they uplift each other through the highs and lows. “We’re a team, and that’s what makes us stronger,” he concluded.
LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Most NFL players wouldn’t take five days off during the peak of job battles at training camp.
Then again, most NFL players aren’t Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens. The sixth-year backup is taking the time away to watch his wife, Simone Biles, compete for the U.S. gymnastics team at the Paris Olympics.
“Man, it’s crazy,” Owens said. “It’s like everyone’s a gymnastics fan now. People are asking me questions, because you might be walking around the building and see a commercial with her up there, so it’s just crazy.”
The support goes right up the ladder from the coaching staff to management. Owens’ trip has been in the works since he signed a two-year contract as a free agent in March.
“It was something me and my agent talked about when we went in and I signed with the team,” said Owens, who signed with the Bears after a season with Green Bay. “The Olympics coming up and who my wife is, that was just something … it was all respectful. We went to them and just asked, ‘We would really appreciate it if he could go and support his wife,’ and they were really cool about it.
