Simone Biles gave fans another look at the playful side of her marriage to Jonathan Owens, and this one came straight from their bedroom.
On her Instagram Story, Biles posted a snapshot of Owens in bed, phone in one hand and holding onto her fingers with the other. The Olympic gymnastics star jokingly labeled her husband a “Level 5 clinger,” a lighthearted jab that landed in the middle of his training camp grind with the Indianapolis Colts.
Biles has been making time to show up around Owens’ NFL schedule, too. She stopped by Colts practice on August 17 and shared clips and photos of the two kissing on the sidelines while they squeezed in time together during his busy stretch.
Owens signed with the Colts in March on a one-year contract. Before that, the veteran safety spent time with the Houston Texans, Green Bay Packers, and Chicago Bears.
His NFL path began after he went undrafted out of Missouri Western State, and he’s carved out a career by sticking with it and getting more chances along the way. Biles has been vocal about supporting that journey, especially since he entered the league without hearing his name called in the draft.
The two first met on the Raya dating app in 2020 and got married in 2023. Their relationship has drawn plenty of attention over the years, including when Owens faced backlash after talking about their early dating days on “The Pivot” podcast in 2023. He called himself “the catch” and said he did not initially know who Biles was.
They moved past that noise and have kept sharing pieces of their life together, often with a mix of affection and humor.
Earlier this summer, Biles also opened up about a serious health scare she went through while Owens was at Colts activities. She described it as “one of, if not the scariest experience of my life.” She later said she recovered at home, and Owens was with her for a medical procedure.
After building one of the greatest gymnastics careers of all time, Biles is enjoying life away from regular competition while Owens prepares for another NFL season. Even with both of their schedules pulling in different directions, they’re clearly still making each other a priority.

Texans Just Lost A Steady Edge Rusher To An Interesting New Deal
The Browns are adding some familiar veteran pass-rush help, and for Houston it means another steady piece off the edge is gone. Derek Barnett is headed to Cleveland on a one-year deal worth up to $5.5 million, ending a three-year stretch with the Texans for the former first-round pick and Super Bowl champion who brought experience and dependable rotational production to Houston's front.
Barnett's departure comes at a time when the Texans have leaned on depth and continuity up front, so losing a proven edge option will be felt. Cleveland had been searching for answers after trading Myles Garrett and then losing Alex Wright to injury, which made Barnett a logical fit, but Houston now has to sort out how it replaces one of its more established veterans on the outside.

Texans Suddenly Have A Tank Dell Problem Before Week 1
Tank Dells recovery has turned into one of the more important camp developments for Houston as Week 1 approaches. The Texans have kept him in limited work while he continues to rehab, but he has not been a full participant in recent practices and also sat out the final preseason game, leaving his status for the opener in serious doubt.
Xavier Hutchinson and Jaylin Noel have emerged as names to watch if Houston has to adjust on the fly opposite Nico Collins. With Dell unavailable, the Texans are left sorting through a receiver depth chart that suddenly looks less settled than it did a few weeks ago, and how they handle that spot could shape the way the offense opens the season.

Texans Suddenly Have A Receiver Battle Fans Need To Watch
Jayden Higgins season-ending ACL injury forced the Texans to move quickly, and the answer came in the form of two veteran wide receivers added to the 90-man roster. Sterling Shepard and Zay Jones now enter a receiver room that needed more bodies and more experience, giving Houston a pair of proven options to sort through as training camp and the preseason unfold.
DeMeco Ryans pointed to that veteran presence as part of the appeal, with both players offering the kind of depth that can matter when roster spots are up for grabs. The bigger question now is how they look in the coming weeks, because Shepard and Jones are not just filling out camp numbers - they are competing for one of the Texans 53-man roster spots.
