Jonathan Owens, Simone Biles’ spouse, shares a heartfelt tribute to her first Paris 2024 gold medal
While everyone is enthralled with Simone Biles’s historic run at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris,
none are more so than her spouse, Jonathan Owens, who made the trip to the city of lights to cheer on the gymnast as she won her first gold medal of the competition.
With eight Olympic medals, five of which are gold, Simone Biles officially became the most decorated Team USA gymnast of all time on July 30, 2024.
Biles, together with her teammates Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, and Hezly Rivera, won gold in the women’s artistic gymnastics team final at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Paris with a score of 171.296. This was the team’s first gold since the previous year.
Before the championship match, Jonathan Owens had announced on Instagram that he was traveling to Paris to cheer on Biles from the stands at the Bercy Arena.
Owens captioned his photo taken from the plane with the words «Coming for you baby,» tagging Biles, who then reposted it on her own stories. Owens arrived in Paris without incident and joined Biles’s parents at the team final.
He made waves by not only keeping score throughout the gymnasts’ routines but also by sporting a Simone Biles T-shirt, which reminded people of Snoop Dogg from a few days earlier.
