Jonathan Owens remains Simone Biles’ biggest fan.
As the superstar gymnast led the U.S. to gold in the team all-around final Monday at Bercy Arena, the Bears safety — who flew from Chicago to Paris overnight — proudly sported a T-shirt in the stands that featured his wife.
Owens, who was granted excused absences from Bears training camp to attend the Summer Games, sat with Biles’ parents, Ronald and Nellie Biles, who are also her biological grandparents.

His shirt featured the 27-year-old Biles in a red, white and blue leotard.
She pushed through a calf injury — suffered during qualifying two days prior — to help the Americans secure gold in Paris after they took home silver as the runner-up to Russia in the 2020 Tokyo Games.
Owens, 29, was seen holding the stats sheet and a pen while sitting in the stands, which has become his habit while watching his wife compete.
The couple wed last year.
