The Olympic legend and her NFL husband celebrate their first Christmas as a married couple in Chicago, prioritizing their love over tradition
simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are making their first Christmas as a married couple a moment to cherish. Despite their busy lives-Owens is preparing for a game with the Chicago Bears against the Seattle Seahawks the day after Christmas-the two will spend the holiday together in Chicago. Biles expressed excitement about their plans, noting, “It’ll be really nice to have our first Christmas alone together.”
This marks a significant change for the gymnast, who traditionally spent the holiday with her family. While the adjustment may be bittersweet, it underscores the couple’s commitment to nurturing their relationship amidst demanding schedules.
Christmas has always held a special place in Simone’s heart, thanks to her father, Ronald Biles. He went above and beyond to make her holiday wishes come true, though he often did so on his own practical terms. One year, young Simone persistently asked for a dog. Ronald initially tried to sidestep the request by gifting giant stuffed animals. But Simone’s determination eventually paid off.
