Simone Biles' special moment with husband Jonathan Owens after end of tour

Before the tour began, Simone Biles told PEOPLE her excitement about embarking on the tour, having taken time off to prepare both "mentally and physically."

"Truthfully, I’ve only gone into the gym to practice a handful of times because of my schedule. I've barely been home, but my body needed this break, so I’m not mad about it," she stated at that moment.

Shortly before her tour concluded, Simone Biles was visited by her husband, Jonathan Owens, the Chicago Bears safety, who utilized his Bye Week to spend time with her.

Biles documented the visit in an Instagram post, which featured photos of them at an arcade and sharing a meal.

While the gymnast has not confirmed her participation in the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics, Owens, 29, has previously said that "whatever she chooses," he will "support her one thousand percent."

"If she feels like it is time to focus on life... because when you are locked in, you do have to sacrifice a lot and you do miss a lot," Owens said, before adding, "That's the one thing that she would just have to figure out for herself. And like I said, man, I'm here to support her a thousand percent and whatever she decides to do."
