Olympics gymnastics legend Simone Biles shared heartfelt messages to her “catch” of a husband, Packers safety Jonathan Owens, on Instagram on Saturday ahead of Green Bay’s NFC divisional playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers — before the two shared a tender moment on the field.

“Good luck today baby,” Biles, 26, captioned a video of the couple kissing before last week’s wild card round win over the Cowboys on her Instagram Story. “Go 34.”

“Let’s do the damn thing! I’m so proud of you,” she also wrote.

Later on Saturday, Biles shared a photo of her divisional gameday look on her Instagram.

Her outfit featured a cutout of Owen’s number, 34, in Packers colors and a necklace with her husband’s first initial, J.

Less than an hour before kickoff against the 49ers, Biles was spotted on the Packers’ sideline giving Owens, 28, a good-luck hug and kiss.

Biles continues to support her husband following social media backlash of Owens’ appearance on “The Pivot” podcast, where the Packers safety claimed he was the “catch” of the relationship.

On the podcast, Owens claimed he “didn’t know who” Biles, one of the most accomplished gymnastics in Olympics history, was when they first matched on the exclusive dating app Raya.

Fans ridiculed legendary gymnast Simone Biles’ husband Jonathan Owens for the push-off against the San Francisco 49ers’ Trent Williams. The Green Bay Packers locked horns with the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday, January 20, 2024, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

Although the clash was an ultimate showdown with the SF Niners dominating the Cheeseheads 24-21 to clinch a spot in their third straight NFC championship game, the skirmish between Ninners’ offensive back Trent Williams and Packers’ strong safety Owens drew the fans’ attention.

During the third quarter of the NFC Divisional Round Showdown, Williams appeared to be involved in a bicker with a few Packers’ defenders when Owens came over to look into the matter. The Packer ended up reeling on the ground after being knocked by Williams.

Biles’ husband was mocked by the gymnast’s fans by being called a “flop” and they jokingly advised Biles to divorce Owens.

Another fan mocked the Packers’ safety hinting at his interview where he referred to himself as the ‘catch’ in their relationship.
Another fan suggested Owens’ fall to be an intentional act to earn a penalty. The fan playfully stated Owens’ acting skills to be better than Biles.

Simone Biles appeared in San Francisco this week with a special goal in mind. She was all set to adore her boys in the game against an NFL juggernaut. The juggernauts in helmets and jerseys, the San Francisco 49ers, didn’t get overjoyed before appearing in the playoff of the NFL divisional round. In the opponent, they found the lowest-seeded team, Green Bay Packers, that had already reeled against the 49ers in previous playoffs. But this time, the situation differed from the past occasions. Apparently, two things could go against the top seed in the NFC.

One was the lineup the Green Bay Packers made ready against the San Francisco 49ers. Another could be the thorough support for the Green Pack from the Olympic legend in the fence line, Simone Biles.

Simone Biles drops the support bomb against the San Francisco 49ers 

On January 20, Levi’s Stadium hosted the penultimate match between the San Francisco 49ers and the Green Bay Packers. The Packers’ squad tilted toward showcasing a young team including the Pros Aaron Jones and Jordan Love. But for Simone Biles, the pack received most of the support because of the presence of Jonathan Owens in the final squad. The most decorated gymnast thoroughly rounded her Instagram feeds by posting support messages. Now on the brink of the starting whistle, Simone Biles shared her aura of kissing JO from the fence line. With that, the supporting lines became benevolent as it went, “let’s do the damn thing! I’m so proud of you”.

Moreover, the attire of Simone Biles was also notable as it framed the jersey number of JO (34) in the back. “good luck today baby… go 34”, was the ultimate message. Hardly, Simone Biles let slip any chance away whenever it comes to supporting Jonathan Owens, the safety of the Green Bay Packers. At the onset of the Pivot podcast, the 26-year-old gymnast proudly disbursed that she would want to take the identity of being the wife of JO. In the happenings as well, Simone came squeaky clean to register her standing.

The being of the support 

In the gymnastic mat, Simone Biles doesn’t hold any numbered jersey. However, that didn’t hold her from pitching on the ‘34’ numbered jacket whenever she found an option. The puffer jacket worn by Biles in an NFL encounter already made a plethora of news for its styling or manufacturing. Even so, that jacket held an NFL backstory.

The showcased number 34 in that jacket belonged to JO. However, Kristin Juszczyk, who also has an NFL WAG recital, was the designer of that custom-made dress. So, no matter what the outcome pours out from the NFL matches, the sporty couple always trends with their shared goals.

Women have had a star turn in the NFL this season. From Taylor Swift to Alix Earle, the wives and girlfriends of players have stepped into the spotlight on the sidelines and in their careers.

Simone Biles is no exception. The most decorated gymnast of all time, the 26-year-old returned to competition in 2023 and ended the year as the world champion. Her husband Jonathan Owens, with whom she tied the knot in April, has taken after his wife, turning in a stellar NFL season.

The safety began his career as an unsigned free agent. After a short stint with the Cardinals, he spent four seasons with the Texans, including the most productive year of his career in 2022.

The 28-year-old signed on with the Packers in 2023, and now he’s headed to the divisional round after No. 7 seed Green Bay secured an upset of the No. 2 seed Cowboys on wild-card weekend.

Looking for Owens on the field? Here’s what to know about his jersey number and why he wears No. 34.

Why does Jonathan Owens wear No. 34?

There’s no rhyme or reason behind why Owens wears No. 34 on the Packers. Jerseys were switched around among the safeties when Owens signed with the team in May.

Adrian Amos wore No. 31 during his four seasons in Green Bay. He didn’t re-sign after the 2022 season, so his jersey number went to James Wiggins, who joined the Packers on a reserve contract from January to May. Wiggins had worn No. 34 before Owens signed in May, but Owens took over the number.

The NFL allows defensive backs to wear a variety of numbers, from zero to 49. Owens’s jersey number has always been in a small range, though. He wore No. 36 during his four seasons with the Texans organization and No. 42 during his time with the Cardinals.

In his college career at at Missouri Western State, however, he wore No. 3.

Biles doesn’t don a number as a gymnast, so there’s no way for the couple to match. But she and Owens have both found success since their marriage last April, Owens on the field and Biles on the met.

The Olympic gymnast returned to the international stage at the world championships in October, where she secured her 37th medal, a gymnastics record.

While Biles might be more famous than her husband, she attends nearly every Packers game, and she’s often wearing custom sweatshirts or jackets in support of Owens. Kristin Juszczyk, the designer who went viral for her custom puffer jacket for Taylor Swift, even crafted a personalized vest for Biles earlier in the season.

Green Bay Packers safety Jonathan Owens learned a thing or two about being a star athlete from his gymnastics champion wife, Simone Biles, this season.

After the couple got married in April, Owens signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Green Bay Packers. He’s never gotten the chance to play in the playoffs until this season, as he’s taken over as a starter on Green Bay’s defense as they continue their campaign to the Super Bowl.

His wife’s criticism of his past performance has played a crucial role in his career year.

Prior to the season, while Owens was watching film of his play, Biles joined in and said her husband looked “slow” on the field, Owens told Tyler Dunne of Go Long TD.

“It messed me up because it’s like: ‘My lady is telling me this, so do I really need to…’ but she knows what she’s talking about when it comes to mental health,” Owens says. “When she said that, it kind of hit me: ‘Man. I guess I am.’”

Biles has also critiqued her husband’s athletic abilities publicly as well, when she ousted him for struggling to do her gymnastics workouts in response to his claims that he’s the better athlete between the two of them.

 “He has done my workout in the gym and he can barely do it, and then I went to their NFL workout and I crushed it.” Biles said during an appearance on Peacock’s 2023 Back That Year Up.

But Biles’ film critique led Owens to seek out the Packers’ team psychologist, who helped the backup safety re-wire his mindset on the field.

“I’m playing free,” Owens said of how he’s played after the intervention. “I addressed stuff that I didn’t know that I was struggling with. But she brought it to my attention. Once you do that mental work? Your mind is a powerful weapon.”
