Doesn’t Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens’ connection make you feel So High School? The latter took on the role of a supportive spouse, cheering his wife on from the stands. In fact, he was spotted wearing her likeness and noting down the scores in a notepad. However, since their return to the States, despite their busy schedules, they’ve continued to stand by each other’s sides. The 11x Olympic medalist had been at a few Chicago Bears’ games while at the Gold Over America Tour.

Now that the Gold Over America Tour is done and dusted, the Olympian is back in the stands for her NFL husband. On November 24, the Chicago Bears locked horns with the Minnesota Vikings at Soldier Field. The loved-up duo have never shied away from showing off their PDA before, and this wasn’t any different. However, the Bears’ safety’s special gesture for his Olympian wife garnered a lot of attention. Fans even drew comparisons to Taylor Swift. What went down?

Many fans were excited about watching the Bears take on the Vikings on their home turf. Yet, Jonathan Owens and Co. were handed a heartbreaking defeat by 30-27. But in the first quarter of the game, Simone Biles was surprised by her husband’s wholesome gestures. He might have picked up a few pointers after cheering her on at the Bercy Arena. The Bears’ safety celebrated a forced fumble by striking the gymnast’s pose. The official Instagram account of the NFL shared the moment, captioned, “That’s love 🙌

The 29-year-old stripped the ball away from the Minnesota Vikings’ Aaron Jones on the Chicago 2-yard line. This stripped them of a prime scoring opportunity. The team celebrated the recovery and forced a fumble combo in the end zone. But he then asked his teammates to back away before throwing his hands up in the air. The move is something the G.O.A.T. does over and over at world-class events. Shortly after, the camera panned over to the 27-year-old in the stands, celebrating the play and the tribute.

Simone Biles was so touched by the move that she went on to share it with fans. In her recent Instagram story, the Olympian shared a few snippets of Owens’ celebration on the field. Yahoo Sports originally shared the celebration, mentioning the sweet nod to the 7x Olympic gold medalist. She shared the original post, adding a few emojis to showcase her glee at watching the gymnastics move performed at Soldier Field on November 24. However, fans turned this wholesome moment into a heated debate. What went down?

The community picked their reigning NFL power couple

The athletic duo have always made heads turn wherever they go—date nights, Paris outings, or the Olympian attending a Chicago Bears game. The 27-year-old’s themed outfits have occasionally come under fire. However, on November 27, she showed up in a tank top, denim jeans, white ankle boots, and a denim jacket with “OWENS” across the back. The final touch was the “J” pendant as a tribute to her loving spouse. So, what got all the fans heated up? 

One fan opined, “This better then Travis and Taylor.” Jonathan Owens’ sweet tribute to Simone Biles definitely grabbed several eyes. Another fan agreed, “Biles Owens> Swift Kelsey.” It’s safe to say that many fans believe that the athletic duo ranks higher than the Chiefs’ tight end, Travis Kelce and his 14 Grammy Award-winning beau, Taylor Swift. 

Even though Kelce and Swift have continued to make headlines since the singer-songwriter’s first appearance at the Arrowhead Stadium, most fans often enjoy watching the G.O.A.T.’s themed outfits when she cheers her husband on. While Travis Kelce has never paid tribute to his singer girlfriend, she often mimics his mannerisms during certain songs at her celebrated Eras Tour. With the Bears’ safety’s wholesome celebration, these fans believe they have a clear winner.

A fan stated, “Id rather have this on tv rather than Taylor and Kelce.” It’s safe to say that fans know every move Swift and Kelce make, especially since she is currently on tour. Another fan pointed out, “I’m just glad they showed her long as she been married to dude she don’t get nowhere near the nfl airtime that lizard gets.” Many fans have often taken offense to how often Taylor Swift is shown during the Kansas Chiefs games. Yet, one fan disagreed, “They tryna take the spot light from kelce and Taylor can’t happen 😂” According to them, the Chiefs’ tight end and Swift are unmatched.

The Grammy Award winner might have missed a few games. However, fans always know when she shows up due to her continuous presence on the big screen. But Simone Biles doesn’t receive the same reception. Granted, you’ll see posts showing off her fits on arrival, but the recent game was one of the few instances where the Olympian made it on the big screen, and fans were clearly left yearning for more. The gymnast is a huge Swiftie herself, performing to her song “Ready for it?…” during her stellar floor routines. But even she’s added fuel to the fire with a cheeky comment. So, what’s your pick? Do you agree with the fans?
