Olympic gymnast Simone Biles is flipping her way through multiple luxury trips this summer—but she still found time to show her support for her husband, Jonathan Owens, over the weekend, when she visited their home in Chicago where the NFL star is busy preparing for the upcoming football season.
Biles, 28, who recently returned from a girls’ trip to the British Virgin Islands, wasted no time in jetting off to the Windy City to attend the Chicago Bears‘ annual Family Fest event at Soldier Field.
Once there, she shared several photos and videos from the event—including a stunning snap of the Chicago skyline, which appears to have been taken from an apartment unit inside a high-rise building, which might well be where the couple are basing themselves for the NFL season.
The seven-time gold medalist also shared several images and clips of her husband, whom she wed in 2023, out on the field, including a tongue-in-cheek video of the football pro showing off his juggling skills before starting his official training.
Biles proved that she is already very much at home in the Illinois city, revealing that she has secured herself a preferred hairstylist in the area, who she noted “slayed” her ponytail hairdo for the family-friendly event, which the team hosts each year.

Her trip to the Windy City comes just a few weeks after she revealed that she and Owens now have a home there.

The talented athlete, who has competed at three Olympic Games, added two diamond necklaces to her look—including a sweet accessory that spelled out her married name, “Owens,” in sparkles, before topping the look off with a pair of sunglasses.
Ever the jet-setter, Biles apparently did not stay in Chicago for long. She later posted photos and videos from her evening walk with her beloved French bulldog; they appear to have been taken near her home in Spring, TX, which she has owned since 2020.
Biles has been based in Texas for much of her life, having resided with her parents, Ron and Nellie, in the state since her childhood.
And while she and Owens have committed to a life in Chicago—at least during the NFL season—it’s clear that they plan for the Lone Star State to be their home base for many years to come, having started work on a stunning custom-built lakefront mansion near Biles’ childhood home in 2023.
The gymnast has shared the progress of her mansion on her social media, beginning with the home’s basic structure, then moving on to various design details, from the monochrome laundry room to the waterfront infinity pool.
The couple’s new dwelling, when finished, will offer some special amenities, including a wet bar, game room, home theater, pet spa, and multiple balconies overlooking the water.
Owens, who wed Biles in 2023, signed a two-year contract with the Chicago Bears in 2024.

While the duo’s primary residence is located in Texas, it’s thought that they will spend much of the NFL season in Chicago.

By the evening, however, Biles had returned to Texas, where she captured a sweet video of her dog walk.

In October, Biles revealed that work on the property was nearing completion, when she showed off some of the stunning interior decor touches that had been installed. They include a dramatic black-and-white marble backsplash in the kitchen and some quirky patterned tiling in the laundry room.
Outside, her images captured the new swimming pool, which overlooks the lake and features a lavish spa.
The photos revealed that the pool’s foundation had been laid, the structure was almost complete, and it just needed an overhaul of the surrounding space—as well as some water to fill it.
More recently, she shared another exciting update: the addition of grass at the front of the home.
“We have grass,” she said while sharing a photo of the lawn on her Instagram Stories, adding a shocked screaming emoji for emphasis. The photo also showed several brick planter beds filled with an array of foliage.
The white exterior and black window frames could also be seen, with a flowering tree in the background.

Though the grass might not mark the most significant progression in the homebuilding process, its arrival suggests that Biles and Owens’ opulent new dwelling might be near completion, just in time for the latter to head to Chicago for preseason training.
Owens is preparing to start his second season with the Bears, after signing a two-year contract in 2024. He started his NFL career with the Arizona Cardinals in 2018, before moving to the Houston Texans, where he was playing when he and Biles began dating.
Though his football success has forced him to bounce around multiple locations over the past three years, Biles has remained his most avid supporter, regularly appearing on the sidelines of his games, more often than not sporting custom merch made in his honor.
And it seems this season, she will take that support one step further, noting in May that she and Owens had found a home in Chicago, where they will likely base themselves during the season.
In a post shared on her Instagram Stories at the time, Biles said the couple were busy shopping for new cars for their Chicago dwelling, although she gave no details about the property itself.
“Looking at cars today for our Chicago home,” she wrote over an image of the inside of a Porsche showroom.
It is unclear if the couple have decided to put down permanent roots in the Windy City by buying a house or if they’ve opted to rent until the future of Owens’ place on the team is confirmed.
