Simone Biles’s Boyfriend Wore a Simone Biles Shirt to Cheer Her On at the Olympic Trials
There’s no Olympic event for cheerleading–or for being a supportive partner–but we’re going to give Simone Biles’s boyfriend, Jonathan Owens, a gold medal anyway. Owens, who plays safety for the Houston Texans football team, cheered on Biles at her Olympic trials in St. Louis in late June wearing a shirt bearing a quote from her. He also greeted her with flowers after she (duh) qualified for the Tokyo Games.
In pictures posted to Owens’s Instagram Stories, he wears a red T-shirt that says “Because I can —Simone Biles.” If you’re not wearing your girl’s merch, are you even her beau?

After they posed for pictures in the locker room, it seems Owens, Biles, and their friends went on an epic celebratory double date: They literally rode in a horse-drawn carriage through the streets of St. Louis. And I can’t even get a text back, damn.
