AFTER a long season of long-distance, Simone Biles is back alongside her husband.
Biles and Jonathan Owens were separated by gymnastics and the NFL for months.

Owens is currently competing with the Chicago Bears in the NFL season, and Biles was on the road touring with a group of gymnasts.
Biles recently shared her sadness over the tour ending with a teary-eyed Instagram post.
“We’re just so used to it and I truly believe it freaks us out when we have to pause, slow down, or stop,” she told Harper Bazaar.
“We’re like what’s next, what’s next? Let’s keep it going and keep up the momentum.”

The gold medal gymnast shared that it was more stressful being away from her husband than it was to tour across the country.
When the event came to a close, she made it known that she is ready to spend time with Owens.
“Cherish the moments that we get together,” she said.
“I’m really excited to go home, which will now be Chicago, and just spend time with my husband.”
Biles has officially made it to Chicago, as she was spotted courtside at a Chicago Bulls game together.
The two were gifted custom jerseys and shared a kiss in front of the crowd as they were applauded.
It was a rare moment for the superstar couple to spend together, as Biles has previously shared how little time they get with each other.
“As soon as we got married, we’ve been long-distance the whole time, and now I’m doing this tour,” she said.
“So, it’s like, when are we going to see each other?”
The Bears are playing at home for the next three weeks, and Biles is done touring, so the two should be able to settle down for a bit at their new home in Chicago.
Biles could possibly even make an appearance at Owens’ game against the New England Patriots.
‘Mother hen’ Biles
Simone Biles’ first coach Aimee Boorman exclusively told The U.S. Sun that she thinks Biles will be spurred by a new role this year.
“Having younger teammates benefits her because she has stepped in as the mother hen figure,” said Aimee.
“And so she has to tell them to stay calm. You’ve got this. You’re prepared. And so as she’s saying it, she’s also hearing it.
“You always have tiny kids that come into the gym, but they’re never ripped like Simone was,” she said.
“I know she was very self-conscious about it growing up. But from a coaching perspective, it was great.
“I didn’t think that Simone would be a multi gold medal athlete straight away.
“But she did stand out because she was very tiny, but very muscular.”
The two have plenty to celebrate in their rare time together.
Biles is coming off of winning her seventh gold medal at the Paris Olympics and smashing 13 records.
She became the most decorated American gymnast of all time during the Olympic games.
Meanwhile, Owens signed a two-year contract with the Bears this year and has already scored a defensive touchdown after a blocked punt.
Biles has not committed to retiring yet, but if she does the superstar couple will finally get to spend most of their time together for the first time since marrying.
