She departed to Paris

Simone Biles and the USA Gymnastics team left for Paris on Monday to kick off their preparations for the 2024 Olympics. Before departing, the legendary gymnast took a moment to send a heartfelt message to her husband, Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens.

Biles and Owens will be apart for a brief period, but Owens reportedly plans to join her in Paris soon. With the Bears‘ approval, he will travel to the City of Lights to cheer on his wife during the Olympics. For now, Biles and Team USA have arrived first to start their training.

She took to her Instagram Stories to share her excitement about reuniting with Owens in Paris. She expressed how much she is looking forward to seeing him soon.

“See you in Paris baby,” Biles wrote to caption a picture of the couple.

When will Jonathan Owens travel to Paris to see Simone Biles?

The exact date of Owens‘ arrival in Paris is not yet known, but it is expected that he will be there before the Olympics begin on July 26. Fans can anticipate updates on social media, as Owens has expressed his enthusiasm about supporting Biles and is likely to document his journey.

“I think with everything I’ve been through, I want to push the limits, I want to see how far I can go,” Biles said ahead of the Olympics. “I want to see what I’m still capable of so once I step away from this sport, I can truly be happy with my career and say I gave it my all.”

Biles uploaded a glimpse at Owens’ finger tat to her Instagram Stories on July 6

The Olympian, 27, shared a snap of Jonathan Owens’ latest tattoo to her Instagram Stories — an “S” placed on his ring finger — on Saturday, July 6.

In the photo, Biles held up her husband’s hand as he displayed his body art, which fans believe has something to do with his wife’s first initial.

The celebrated gymnast also revealed her initial reaction to the new ink, sharing some select emojis along with the photo: two screaming-face emojis, two red hearts and a couple of crossed fingers.

While Owens, 28, hasn’t revealed what the tattoo represents, the Chicago Bears player has been busy supporting his wife as she prepares for the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Biles confirmed to reporters on June 30 that after her victory at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Minneapolis, Owens will be cheering her on since he put in some vacation time with his new team.

“The Bears are actually granting him a couple days off from training camp, so he’ll be there,” Biles revealed. “Yes, for just a short little time.”

Owens, who met Biles on a dating app in 2020 and tied the knot with her in 2023, has also been showering her with gifts ahead of her latest career milestone.

Before the second night of the Olympic Trials, Owens could be seen on his wife’s Instagram account posing next to a pair of Louis Vuitton bags, in a photo that she captioned “WHYYYYY.” In another image, Owens also posed while holding a pot full of pink roses — apparently all for Biles.

Simone is genuinely worried

Simone Biles, at 27 years old, stands as the undisputed leader of the United States gymnastics team, poised to reclaim the spotlight with her undeniable talent. Leading such a prestigious team comes with immense responsibility, a role Biles understands well as she navigates the expectations and needs of her teammates.

The team boasts seasoned athletes brimming with talent, yet during a recent interview, Biles shared an unexpected concern about her 16-year-old teammate, Hezly Rivera, ahead of Paris 2024.

The atmosphere lightened as laughter filled the room at Biles’ surprising revelation. It seems hard to fathom just how young Rivera is-so much so that she hasn’t yet learned to drive. Biles jokingly pondered whether teaching Rivera to drive should be a priority for Team USA before they head to Paris in 2024.

As a beacon of inspiration and experience, Biles is poised to guide Rivera through her Olympic debut. Rivera, the youngest athlete on the U.S. delegation this summer, stands to gain invaluable lessons under Biles’ wing, making their partnership one of the most promising narratives to watch unfold.

After dropping the unexpected bombshell, Biles proceeded to praise Rivera for her immense talent. With her selection to the team, great things are expected from Hezly, and the audience can’t wait to see what she showcases this summer under Biles’ inspiration, alongside her teammates Suni Lee, Jade Carey, and Jordan Chiles.

As Rivera embarks on her Olympic journey under Biles’ mentorship, their dynamic reflects not just athletic prowess but also camaraderie and growth. With Biles at the helm, Team USA enters the next Olympic chapter with determination and a touch of lightheartedness, ready to captivate audiences worldwide once again.
