Olympic gymnast Simone Biles recently surprised fans by admitting that she admires Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes even more than her husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens. In an episode of Not Just Football with Cam Heyward, Biles praised Mahomes’ extraordinary talent, referring to him as a “freak of nature” due to his impressive on-field performances. She noted that while she deeply respects Owens, who currently plays for the Chicago Bears and has built an impressive career as an undrafted player in his seventh NFL season, Mahomes’ unique abilities stand out to her.
Biles explained that Mahomes has a knack for making incredible plays and changing the course of games, even when the Chiefs are struggling. She joked that Owens would probably tease her for saying this but emphasized how Mahomes consistently pulls off near-miraculous moments on the field.
Despite her admiration for Mahomes, Biles made it clear that her relationship with Owens remains strong. Recently, she demonstrated her deep commitment by getting a tattoo of her husband’s initials on her ring finger, matching Owens’ tattoo of the letter “S” for Simone. The tattoo was a surprise for Owens, who woke up in the middle of the night when Biles had landed in San Francisco and called her, telling her he was overwhelmed with emotion. It was a sentimental moment for the couple, reflecting the strength of their bond.
The couple has been in the spotlight recently, especially as they balance their demanding careers. Owens, despite his busy football schedule, flew to Paris to support Biles during her stunning performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she won three gold medals. His presence in the stands during such an important moment in her career further highlights their unwavering support for each other.
Biles’ comments about Mahomes, along with her playful remark about how Owens might react, show her love for football and her respect for athletes who achieve greatness. Yet, it’s clear that her admiration for Owens goes beyond his football career. Their thoughtful gestures, like the matching tattoos and support during important career moments, reflect a deep and growing connection. While Mahomes may stand out to her on the field, Biles’ heart remains with Owens.
