Simone Biles' latest goodbye to Chicago has sparked a wave of emotion among fans-and a fair amount of speculation about what it could mean for Jonathan Owens' future with the Chicago Bears. As the NFL offseason begins, the couple's temporary departure from the Windy City has quickly turned into a talking point that blends sports, celebrity, and uncertainty.
Simone Biles shares emotional Chicago farewell with Jonathan Owens
After spending the 2024-25 NFL season in Chicago, Simone Biles took to social media to mark the end of a meaningful chapter in her and Jonathan Owens' life. Posting a photo of the couple raising glasses together, the Olympic legend wrote, "Farewell to our time in Chicago see you in a few months," signaling that the goodbye is not permanent-but still significant.
Biles also hinted at her immediate plans by sharing an Instagram Story featuring her dog, captioned, "Lil mamas cross country trip. On her way back to Houston w/the best," suggesting a return to her Texas roots during the offseason. While the message was lighthearted, it was enough to send Bears fans into speculation mode.
Throughout the season, Biles became a familiar presence at Bears games, often spotted on the sidelines supporting Owens before kickoff. Her routine support wasn't just symbolic-it was personal. "For him, it means a lot for me to go on the sideline before because he says that's his pre-game routine," Biles previously explained. "He's always looking for me... to give him good luck vibes and wishes."
Owens completed his first season with Chicago recording 49 tackles, two forced fumbles, two pass deflections, and an interception. While not a headline-grabbing stat line, his steady role on defense earned respect within the locker room-and made his future with the Bears a topic of offseason intrigue.
What the goodbye means for Owens and the Bears
The timing of Biles' farewell has naturally raised questions about Owens' long-term place in Chicago. While there's no official indication that he's leaving the Bears, the offseason always brings roster uncertainty, and fans are reading between the lines.
Despite being new to the city, Biles embraced life in Chicago more than many expected. She even joked about surviving the famously brutal winters. "Honestly, not bad," she said of the cold. "Some days I feel like 30s and 40s feel colder than, like, 17. But as long as I'm bundling up, I feel like I've actually been pretty good."
The couple also quickly found favorite local spots, with Biles singling out one restaurant in particular.
We love Maple and Ash. We go there quite frequently.
At the end of the Bears' season, Biles shared a heartfelt tribute to Owens on social media, writing, "Will support my man till the very end. Proud of you 36! Year 7 in the books." Owens responded simply but powerfully in the comments: "I love you so much, baby."
For now, the goodbye appears to be more about offseason logistics than permanent change. Still, with Biles heading back to Houston and Owens' NFL future yet to be fully defined, fans can't help but wonder if this farewell signals more than just a temporary pause.
As the offseason unfolds, all eyes will be on Chicago-and on whether this goodbye marks the end of a chapter, or merely an intermission.
