After two seasons in Chicago, the couple is settling into life with the Indianapolis Colts, bringing with them not just experience, but a quiet sense of excitement that fans quickly picked up on.
Simone Biles opens up about exciting transition after Jonathan Owens signs with Indianapolis Colts
Owens enters his ninth NFL season with a résumé built on persistence. Across stints with the Houston Texans, Green Bay Packers, and Chicago Bears, he has played 82 games with 35 starts. Those numbers tell part of the story. The rest comes from his steady climb through the league, carving out a role wherever he lands.The Colts saw enough to bring him in on a one year deal, adding him to a defensive group that already welcomed Arden Key and Michael Clemons this offseason. Timing matters here. Indianapolis is reshaping key areas of its roster, and Owens fits the profile of a player who can contribute without needing the spotlight.Before the move became official, Biles shared a glimpse of their mindset. “Excited to call Indy home this upcoming football season 💙 Beyond proud of you @jowens! Keep defeating the odds. I love you,” she wrote. It was simple, direct, and revealing in its own way. There is pride, but also belief in the path they are building together.Fans responded almost instantly. Messages poured in across social media, welcoming both Owens and Biles to the city. “Welcome, Simone! We’re so happy to have you here in Indy,” one fan wrote. Another added, “Welcome to Indianapolis, Owens family. You will enjoy our city, and we will love and support both of you 💗💚.” The tone was consistent. Warm, hopeful, and a little starstruck.That connection could grow quickly. Biles was a regular presence during Owens’ time in Chicago, often spotted cheering from the stands. With games now shifting to Lucas Oil Stadium, that visibility will likely follow. It adds a different kind of energy, one that blends sports with personality.Adjusting to a new city is rarely seamless. But early signs suggest this transition might be smoother than most. There is familiarity in their partnership, and now, a fan base eager to make them feel at home.
