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.”

Simone Biles and her husband Jonathan Owens are spending time in San Francisco!

The Olympic gold medalist, 26, posted a cute photo of husband Owens, 28, hanging out with their French bulldogs — Rambo and Zeus — in San Francisco on Friday after the couple appeared to have made the trip to the city together.

“The boys in san fran 🥰😍🥹,” Biles fondly wrote in the caption to the Instagram Story snap.

In the photo, Owens smiled at the camera as Rambo sat on his lap on a couch outside and licked his face, while Zeus sat on the ground next to him. Owens also reposted the photo on his own Instagram Story.

Biles’ latest post with their fur family comes a week after sharing a fun photo of the pups wearing matching Green Bay Packers jerseys — in honor of Owens’ football team —  ahead of their first playoffs game against the Dallas Cowboys, which she attended, as well as celebrating the team ahead of the match.

In the earlier photo, the adorable canines posed in their green and orange jerseys as they lay down beside each other on the floor.

Biles wrote, “the dogs are ready for this weekend” and “GO PACK GO 🏈🏈🏈,” in captions over the cute image. Owens reposted Biles’ photo, writing underneath, “They ready!!!”

Biles, who is also the owner of French bulldog Lilo, spoke of her love for her dogs and how they “made my life better” in an interview back in 2021.

“They are just the best dogs and they make me so happy, and they’re my fur babies,” Biles told TODAY at the time. “My dogs have made my life better significantly. They have made me happy when I’m at my low and even whenever I’m at my highs, they make it feel higher.”

“They are the greatest asset that I’ve ever got and I don’t regret it one bit the amount of work it takes to have two of these little pups. I wouldn’t trade it for the world,” she added.Earlier this week, Biles also paid a loving tribute to husband Owens on social media.

She reposted a message from the account @3amthoughts that read, “To my man: I just want to tell you that I love you the most and I will continue to love you. I will always stand by you. I will always be there for you.”

“I am so proud of everything that you’ve accomplished, and what you’re about to accomplish. Thank you for loving me,” it continued. Biles added a single heart emoji on fire in the caption.

Simone Biles and Aly Raisman have been best friends for a long time. The two became close friends back in 2016 when they were teammates on the “Final Five” US Olympic team. At the Rio Olympics, Biles and Raisman won gold in the team events alongside their compatriots and also shared the podium in the all-around event.

Though they won’t be competing at the Paris Olympics together, Raisman is excited to cheer on her World Champion friend from the sidelines when the time comes.

In the same interview, 29-year-old Raisman also opened up about how proud she is of Simone Biles for still competing at the highest levels of the sport.

Alongside teammates Gabby Douglas, Laurie Hernandez, and Madison Kocian, the two stormed their way to fold in the team event. Meanwhile, they also finished with medals in the all-around, with Biles taking the gold and Raisman finishing with a silver.

While the duo didn’t get a chance to share the Olympic stage after their stint at Rio, their bond has proven unbreakable. Biles pulled out of the Tokyo Olympics finals in 2021, and Raisman was one of the first people to speak out in support of her friend. The 29-year-old was even present at Simone Biles’ wedding to Green Bay Packers safety Jonathan Owens, in May 2023.

While the two might not compete together anymore, they often get together in their free time, much to the delight of their fans.

Simone Biles over again proves she’s not only a champion in gymnastics but also in the game of affection.

She shared the beautiful flowers and this display of love with her fans on Instagram. Just after that, she also posted a picture of the lovely duo together. This series of Instagram posts and stories is a peek into the wonderful relationships they share with each other.
