During the Chicago Bears vs. Tennessee Titans game on Sunday, Jonathan Owens, husband of gymnastics legend Simone Biles, was humorously referred to as “Mr. Biles” by an NFL commentator after scoring a crucial touchdown. The lighthearted moment caught the attention of fans as the Bears’ safety celebrated his big play.
As Owens sprinted into the end zone, the commentator quipped, “Mr. Biles getting in there,” while highlighting the impressive effort by the 29-year-old safety. “Well done by him,” the announcer added. The playful mention of Owens using his wife’s famous last name quickly went viral, with social media lighting up in response.
Fans couldn’t help but be amused by the comment. One fan asked, “Wait, did they just say ‘Mr. Biles’?” while another joked, “‘Mister Biles getting in there’ is crazy, but that’s a super valid and acceptable title. Good play, Owens!” Others joined in, with one quipping, “His new name is Jonathan Biles now,” and another humorously noting, “Calling him Mr. Biles on live TV is diabolical.”
Simone Biles herself celebrated her husband’s achievement on her Instagram Story, proudly sharing, “LFG!!! … TOUCHDOWN FOR HUBBY,” showing her excitement as she cheered him on from afar.
Owens’ performance helped the Bears secure their first win of the 2023-2024 season, defeating the Titans 24-17. The game also marked a milestone for Owens, who made his debut for the Bears after spending the previous season with the Green Bay Packers.

Simone Biles has been a steadfast supporter of her husband’s NFL career, even attending one of his preseason games last month. However, Biles faced some playful backlash from fans when she wore a Packers jacket to the game, despite Owens no longer being with the team. She later assured everyone she was fully stocked with Chicago Bears gear, telling TMZ in an interview, “Don’t worry, I’ve got plenty of Bears stuff now.”
The dynamic duo has consistently shown up for each other in their respective athletic journeys. Earlier this summer, Owens was by Biles’ side as she made her triumphant return to the international stage at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where she claimed three medals. Their mutual support extends beyond the field and the gym, as they continue to build a life together after tying the knot in April 2023.
As for their future, the couple has shared that they “most definitely” want to start a family but have personal goals they’d like to achieve before taking that step. Both Biles and Owens are riding high in their careers, and it’s clear they are each other’s biggest fans.
Whether it’s on the football field or in the gymnastics arena, they continue to champion one another every step of the way.
