Simone Biles Makes Surprise Appearance With Husband Jonathan Owens at Winter Olympics
Simone Biles is flipping the script at the 2026 Winter Olympics.
The Olympic gymnast was happy to be a spectator at the Milano-Cortina Games, appearing alongside her husband Jonathan Owens to cheer on athletes competing in the men’s single figure skating event on Feb. 13.
Sporting an ivory jacket, white jeans and matching stiletto boots, Simone and the Chicago Bears safety sat in the crowd to watch U.S. figure skaters Ilia Malinin and Andrew Torgashev perform their programs. In fact, she even snapped a photo with Georgian athlete Nika Egadze.
And even though Simone has 11 Olympics medals—including seven gold—for gymnastics under her belt, she admittedly could never step into their skates.
“I can skate,” she told the audience in the arena, “but I cannot do anything that these athletes can do out there tonight.”
She added, “I give them all the props. I’m rooting for them. I’m praying for them. I’m just super excited to watch today.”
In the end, Kazakhstan’s Mikhail Shaidorov took home the gold medal, while Japanese skaters Yuma Kagiyama and Shun Sato won silver and bonze, respectively.
