“My dogs have made my life better significantly,” Simone Biles told USA TODAY all the way back in 2021. It’s no secret that Biles and her husband, Jonathan Owens, are proud pet parents of three adorable fur babies. Biles even confessed how much of an emotional help her dogs have been over the years. “Being an elite athlete puts a lot of stress and pressure on you, and I got Lilo and Rambo for emotional support and to be a companion through all of my ups and downs,” Biles added.
Remember how her two pups Lilo and Rambo cheered were seen cheering for Biles from the stands while Biles went on to win the bronze medal in the balance beam team? Well, her dogs were not present in stands physically, but just a glimpse of her fur babies was enough for the 11x Olympics medalist. It was Scott Evans of Access Hollywood who brought cutouts of Lilo and Rambo. “We just wanted to make sure Simone felt the love… Her reaction was everything,” Scott shared in 2021. Even last year, when Simone’s dogs donned Packers gear to cheer Owens, the pups instantly went viral on the internet. Now, it looks like Biles and Owens are extending their family with a one-of-a-kind new member.
When talking to TODAY Network last year, Simone even said that “her dogs are the greatest asset that I’ve ever got and I don’t regret it one bit the amount of work it takes to have two of these little pups. I wouldn’t trade it for the world.” And now with another member on its way, not only Biles but husband Owens is equally excited to welcome them home.
The Instagram story of @regalempiredobermans—a veteran-operated kennel whose sole purpose is to produce the finest Dobermans worldwide—posted a story on March 30, 2025, sharing a photo of Biles and Owens’ wedding. The story read, “Congratulations to @jowens & @simonebiles. They will be getting their Regal Empire Doberman later this year.” This was confirmed when Jonathan Owens himself reposted the story. So a Doberman would be soon joining the French Bulldogs.
Simone Biles, the celebrated Olympic gymnast, and her NFL star husband, Jonathan Owens, have recently expanded their family with the addition of a new canine companion—a Doberman.
A Growing Pack
The couple, already proud parents to three bulldogs named Lilo, Rambo, and Zeus, announced that their Doberman will join them later this year. Biles shared glimpses of their new mansion in Spring, Texas, highlighting a special room dedicated to their beloved pets.
The Role of Pets in Their Lives
For Biles, her dogs have been more than just pets; they’ve been sources of emotional support and companionship throughout her demanding athletic career. The couple’s shared love for dogs has been a bonding factor in their relationship, which began in 2020 and culminated in marriage in 2023.
Looking Ahead
While they cherish their roles as dog parents, Biles and Owens have expressed openness to having children in the future. However, they aim to achieve certain personal and professional goals before embarking on that journey.
Conclusion
The addition of a Doberman to their family underscores the couple’s deep affection for dogs and their commitment to creating a nurturing home environment. Fans eagerly await more updates and adorable snapshots of their expanding furry family.
