When Simone Biles stepped onto the football field after the Bears’ win on October 20, 2025, she wasn’t looking for headlines. But after one bold squeeze from her husband, Jonathan Owens, that is exactly what she got. The moment, caught on video, shows Owens hugging Biles and giving her backside a cheeky pat while she sported a miniskirt with his jersey number.

The clip blew up fast, and so did the comments.

Some folks loved it. Others? Not so much. The internet quickly split into two camps, firing off hot takes like it was a full-on culture war.

Some saw it as playful and loving. Others thought it crossed a line. Either way, it had people talking.

The PDA That Sparked the Debate

Let’s start with the backlash. A loud corner of the internet didn’t like what they saw. Critics called it weird, cringey, and flat-out disrespectful. One person posted, “When was that a norm in public tho?” while another wrote, “He doesn’t respect his wife.” These kinds of comments piled up quickly, reflecting discomfort over how casual, or even bold, the interaction was.

But on the flip side, support came in strong and loud. Plenty of fans thought the moment was cute, fun, and totally normal for a couple madly in love. “Aww, they are cute!” one person wrote. Another said, “We need more of this seriously!” Others pointed out how gentle Owens actually was. “Respect the booty, protect the booty,” one Facebook commenter joked, noting how he pulled her skirt back down.

A Relationship Built on Support and Playfulness

If you have followed this couple at all, none of this comes as a surprise. Simone and Jonathan have always been loud and proud in their support for each other. She is often spotted on the sidelines, decked out in outfits with his number stitched across her back. He has got her initial tattooed on his finger.

In a TikTok clip, Biles once said that Owens “makes me feel like the prettiest girl in the world.” And the way he treats her backs that up. There is an ease in their affection that doesn’t feel performative. It feels like two people just being themselves, regardless of who is watching.

Jowens / IG / This PDA moment was just one spark in a long line of shared support. They hype each other up in both public and private settings.

Biles once teased that she crushed his NFL workout while he couldn’t get through her gymnastics routine. That kind of playful banter shows they are not just in love. They are best friends too.

And let’s not forget that they have weathered some real storms. Their relationship began in 2020 and only got stronger through the tough times. When Biles pulled out of several events at the Tokyo Olympics to focus on her mental health, Owens was there. Not just with words, but with real support. Encouraging therapy, staying by her side, and reminding her she has more than medals.

The duo tied the knot in May 2023, and since then, their bond has only grown. Being high-level athletes in different sports means long-distance stretches are part of the deal. They have talked openly about how they miss each other during those times, but also how much they value the time they do have together.
