While the whole world is enjoying Simone Biles’s historic run at the Paris 2024 Olympics, nobody is living it more than her husband, Jonathan Owens, who traveled all the way to the city of lights to support the gymnast as she achieved her first gold medal of the current Summer Olympics.
On July 30, 2024, Simone Biles officially became the most decorated Team USA gymnast of all time with eight Olympic medals — five of which are golds. With a score of 171.296, Biles, alongside her teammates Suni Lee, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, and Hezly Rivera, claimed the top of the podium in the Artistic Gymnastics women’s team final at the Olympic Games in Paris, marking the first time the team got gold since the 2016 Rio Olympics. (Team USA were silver medalists in Tokyo 2020.)
Prior to the final, Jonathan Owens had taken to his Instagram to announce he was en route to Paris to support Biles from the stands at the Bercy Arena. “Coming for you baby,” Owens captioned his snap from the plane, tagging Biles, who reshared it on her own stories.
