Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens Welcome Their First Child — A Baby Boy!
HOUSTON — Olympic gymnastics icon Simone Biles and NFL star Jonathan Owens are officially parents! The beloved sports power couple just announced the birth of their first child — a baby boy — and the news has fans and fellow athletes overjoyed.
The couple shared the exciting update on Sunday night, February 23, 2025, with a touching post on social media. Biles posted a photo showing the newborn wrapped in a soft blue blanket, cradled in his parents’ arms. Both Biles and Owens are beaming in the photo, radiating pride and love.
“Welcome to the world, our little champion,” Biles captioned the post. Owens followed with: “My squad just got stronger. Blessed beyond words.”
The couple, who were married in 2023, had kept the pregnancy under wraps, making this surprise reveal even more meaningful for fans.
Reactions from the sports and entertainment world came flooding in almost instantly. Olympic teammate Aly Raisman commented, “OMG, Simone, he’s perfect!” while singer Ciara added, “What a beautiful blessing — congrats, you two!” The post has quickly gone viral, with hashtags like #BilesOwensBaby and #LittleChamp trending on social media.
At 27, Biles is the most decorated gymnast in history, with 37 Olympic and World Championship medals to her name. Owens, 29, is a standout safety for the Chicago Bears and widely respected for his energy and grit on the field. Together, they’ve been one of sports’ most admired couples since going public with their relationship in 2020.
Over the past few months, fans speculated about a possible pregnancy after Biles stepped back from a few competitions and was spotted in looser clothing — but the couple never confirmed anything, keeping the surprise close to their hearts.
The photo of their newborn son captures a tender moment: Biles gazes lovingly at her baby, while Owens wraps his arm protectively around them both. The baby’s tiny hand is seen clutching his mom’s finger — a heart-melting detail that’s already sparked playful debates online about whether he’ll follow in Mom’s gymnastics footsteps or take after Dad on the football field.
While the baby’s name, birth weight, and other details haven’t been made public yet, a source close to the couple says they’re “absolutely overjoyed” and adjusting to parenthood with the same determination and grace that defines their careers. Biles reportedly gave birth at a private hospital in Houston, with Owens rushing back from a Bears game to be by her side.
For now, fans are celebrating alongside them — and waiting eagerly for the next adorable update from Team Biles-Owens.
