Simone Biles celebrated Christmas in a hotel room, breaking a family tradition, thanks to the NFL

Simone Biles is known for her unwavering dedication, whether it’s in gymnastics or her personal life, and this Christmas was no exception. While she usually spends the holidays with her family, this year marked a shift as she celebrated with her new husband, NFL player Jonathan Owens. The couple opted for a quiet and intimate Christmas in Chicago, ahead of the Chicago Bears‘ game against the Seattle Seahawks on December 26. Owens, fulfilling his contractual obligations, had to report to the team hotel a day early, but that didn’t stop the two from making the most of their time together.

Despite not being able to celebrate Christmas with her family on December 25, Simone didn’t let the change dampen her holiday spirit. Instead, she embraced their “new normal” as a couple. The Olympian even hinted that they’d make up for their low-key holiday with some vacations in the coming year. The duo spent their Christmas in a cozy hotel room, cherishing their time together before Owens took the field for what would be the Bears’ final home game of the season.

On game day, Simone was in the stands as her husband’s biggest cheerleader, a role she’s taken on with pride throughout the NFL season. Joining her was her sister, Adria Biles, adding a touch of family warmth to the occasion. The sisters shared a playful moment on TikTok, where they were seen jamming to “WHATCHU KNO ABOUT ME” by GloRilla & Sexyy Red. Captioning the video with “WE AIN’T FROM MEMPHIS HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA,” Simone showcased her fun-loving side while supporting Owens.

In true NFL WAG fashion, Simone’s outfit turned heads. She sported a custom co-ord set adorned with images of Owens in his Chicago Bears uniform from top to bottom. The look was both iconic and heartfelt, further cementing her role as a supportive spouse. “Could her outfit be any more iconic?” one might wonder.

Although the Bears ultimately lost to the Seahawks in a low-scoring 6-3 game, Simone’s presence and support undoubtedly made an impact. Throughout the season, she has been a constant at Owens’ games, even flying to Detroit on Thanksgiving to ensure they could spend the holiday together. This Christmas was no different-despite the challenges, Simone and Jonathan found ways to celebrate their love and commitment amidst their busy schedules.
