Being a famous couple is hard as it is. The spotlight is constantly on you and your spouse, with every one of your movements being followed by the global media. Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens know what that’s all about. The legendary gymnast and NFL player have seen their marriage’s popularity grow by the second, and they’ve welcomed it for the most part.
Given how likable both Biles and Owens are, most of their press is good press. They seem to be okay with the media spotlight, so it hasn’t put a strain on their marriage. What has put a strain on their relationship, though, has been the time spent apart. Given their demanding and ever-changing schedules, they have spent an inordinate amount of their time in a “long distance marriage“.
Biles has a mansion in Houston, and she has mentioned that her heart is in Texas. Her hometown and residence is Spring, Texas after all. But due to Owens playing for the Chicago Bears, Owens lives in the Windy City. In order to see each other frequently, Biles would have to move to Chicago permanently, but she has had other priorities, like her Gold Over America Tour, plus the Olympics in the summer.
Simone Biles does anything to see Jonathan Owens, even for a day
Given all of that, Biles recently revealed to Us Weekly that she sometimes takes a day trip on a plane just to see Owens. That’s exactly what she did for Thanksgiving this year.
According to information gathered by Essentially Sports from Amalfi Jets, the company Biles uses to charter private jets, those flights could cost up to $10,000 round trip.
Now, Biles and Owens make plenty of money from their jobs and endorsements, but those types of luxuries can add up. It goes to show that for love, both Biles and Owens are willing to do anything.
