If Simone Biles is at any NFL game, one can always spot her in custom-made apparel that shouts out her affection for Jonathan Owens. Just like she went to cheer for her husband with track pants highlighting Owens’ name and his jersey number at the Bears vs. the Commanders game. Not to mention her ‘Owens’ necklace that she proudly wears as a gesture of love for the Bears’ safety. But for Owens, his methods to keep Biles close on the field are a bit different. However, they certainly leave a lasting impression.
Prior to the big game between the Chicago Bears and the Washington Commanders, Owens got ready for Monday Night Football with GQ. He showed how his stylist, Marc Mogul, helped him choose his outfit. But all the attention soon shifted to the ring on his left ring finger. He showed his diamond-studded wedding ring and said, “And so, with my ring, I originally, I knew Simone. She wanted a oval shape cut. And so on my ring, I actually have ovals in the middle.” But he can’t always have his ring on when he is on the field.
And for those times, Jonathan Owens tattooed his wife’s initial ‘S’ on his ring finger. The NFL star stated, “But if I don’t have my ring on, though, like when I’m playing, that’s why I made sure I tattooed her initial right here. So, you know, she’s always with me.”

Back in 2022, Jonathan Owens popped up with an engagement ring and proposed to Simone Biles. That ring was worth $300,000. And just like the 11-time Olympic medalist wanted, the ring had an oval-cut diamond, made by Zo Frost. As far as the specifications go, the Blue Nile’s Chief Merchandising Officer, Katie Zimmerman, claimed that it was a three-carat diamond with F color and a VVS2 clarity. But there’s more! She revealed that Owens actually wanted to add a special touch – A halo around the oval diamond.

This particular ring was made with a silver band, holding a blue stone at the center. And the best part? It was the words “World Champion” inscribed on the sides. Needless to say, Biles held this ring pretty close to her heart. But the question is – can this surpass the emotional stance of her engagement ring? Well, both have a strong stance in their own way. While she fell in love with gymnastics first, it holds a special spot in her heart. But so does Owens as her beloved husband. And it wouldn’t really be fair to make that comparison, don’t you agree?
