Simone Biles received the support of her family while competing in Tuesday’s team final of the women’s gymnastics during the 2024 Paris Olympics. The athlete was cheered by her husband, football player Jonathan Owens, and her parents, Nellie and Ronald Biles. The group watched Biles lead Team USA to victory in patriotic outfits.
Owens wore a ’90s-inspired graphic T-shirt with “Biles” printed on top and a collage of pictures of his wife in different gymnastics competitions. The Chicago Bears football player safety received an excused absence from training camp to support his wife in person.
