Simone Biles marks the start of the NFL regular season with a sweet message to her husband, Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens.
With just six days until the Bears face off against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, Sept. 8, Biles, 27, shared an Instagram Stories tribute to the NFL star, writing, “see you in a few weeks 🤍🤧.”
The gymnast posted the message along with two Polaroid photos of her and her husband (29) posing in front of a light blue wall.

He returned the love by sharing the post on his Instagram account, adding “❤️🤞🏽.”
Although it’s been nearly a month since Biles completed her historic run at the 2024 Paris Olympics, winning four medals and becoming the most decorated U.S. gymnast in Olympic history, her schedule will once again accelerate with her participation on the Gold Over America Tour.
The tour, which is set to kick off on Monday, September 16 in Oceanside, California, will feature Biles and a host of other gymnasts such as Jade Carey, Jordan Chiles and Hezly Rivera, performing “stunning athletic and energetic choreography with an inspiring message of hope, strength, resilience and determination,” on his website.

Although scheduled to end on Sunday, Nov. 3, Biles will be busy and busy during the first few weeks of the NFL season.
She and her husband, however, are no strangers to long-distance romance.

Last September, Biles shared during an interview with Hod Kotb on Today Show that they “began their long-distance journey less than a week” after their May 2023 destination wedding in Cabo San Lucas — their second wedding after legally tying the knot that April — because of Owens’ signing with his previous team, the Green Bay Packers.

“Right after Cab, he went to Green Bay and signed, and two days later, he was up there, so it was different,” she said. “At least we’re both busy and focused on our sports. It’s been nice.”
Being each other’s biggest “supporter” is something Owens told PEOPLE in July that he loves.

“I like to watch [it] from an athlete’s perspective, because that’s how you would excel in any sport, it’s just being consistent and doing the same thing consistently well every day,” he said. “You know what I mean? I love watching it and I love being out there and being a cheerleader.”
