A Fresh Start in the Windy City
When Simone Biles, the most decorated gymnast in history, makes a move—it’s not just a change of address, it’s a headline. Recently, Biles revealed that she and her NFL star husband, Jonathan Owens, have made Chicago their home. With the NFL season fast approaching, this relocation isn’t just strategic—it’s personal. Let’s dive into why the Windy City has become their newest chapter.
Why Chicago? The Power Couple’s Unexpected Move
Jonathan Owens Joins the Chicago Bears
Owens, a safety in the NFL, recently signed with the Chicago Bears. This exciting transition gave the couple a reason to plant new roots in Illinois—and Simone, ever the supportive spouse, is embracing every bit of it.
From Texas to Illinois—A Bold Relocation
The couple previously called Texas home, but with career moves guiding their direction, Chicago became the logical next step. It’s not just a pitstop—it’s their new base.
A Home Built with Intention
Simone Confirms the News
In a recent interview and across her social media platforms, Biles shared the news: “We have a house here,” she said, referring to Chicago. No more hotel hopping or short-term rentals—this is a real investment in their future.
Cozy, Yet Chic—Biles’ New Aesthetic
Though we haven’t seen full tours yet, glimpses of their home reveal a warm, modern design style. Think soft neutrals, sleek lines, and just the right amount of luxury. Simone’s decorating game? Just as fierce as her gymnastics.
Balancing Fame, Football & Flip Turns
Training & Transition
Even in a new city, Biles stays on her grind. With a possible Olympic comeback still floating in the air, she’s not slowing down. Chicago may be cold, but Simone’s ambition is still on fire.
Supporting Each Other’s Dreams
This isn’t just a solo spotlight moment. Biles and Owens have shown what true partnership looks like. She supports his NFL career, and he’s been front-row cheering her every twist and turn.
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. 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. 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.
