Jonathan Owens rocks Simone Biles T-shirt as Team USA wins gold at Paris Olympics

Jonathan Owens remains Simone Biles’ biggest fan.

As the superstar gymnast led the U.S. to gold in the team all-around final Monday at Bercy Arena, the Bears safety — who flew from Chicago to Paris overnight — proudly sported a T-shirt in the stands that featured his wife.

Owens, who was granted excused absences from Bears training camp to attend the Summer Games, sat with Biles’ parents, Ronald and Nellie Biles, who are also her biological grandparents.

They adopted Biles when she was 6 years old, along with her sister, Adria.

His shirt featured the 27-year-old Biles in a red, white and blue leotard.

She pushed through a calf injury — suffered during qualifying two days prior — to help the Americans secure gold in Paris after they took home silver as the runner-up to Russia in the 2020 Tokyo Games.

Owens, 29, was seen holding the stats sheet and a pen while sitting in the stands, which has become his habit while watching his wife compete.

The couple wed last year.

He stood up cheering and pumped his arms after Biles posted a score of 14.400 on the uneven bars — edging her teammate Jordan Chiles, who scored a 14.366 — to give the U.S. an early lead.

Owens, who signed a two-year deal with Chicago in March, touched down in Paris on Tuesday, as seen in a series of posts on his Instagram Story.

Michael Phelps — the most decorated Olympian of all time with a total of 28 medals — attended the women’s team final, as well as tennis legend Serena Williams, actresses Natalie Portman and Nicole Kidman, and director Spike Lee.

Phelps and Lee were shown on the NBC broadcast clapping for Biles.

Biles and Chiles competed in all four events Tuesday: vault, uneven bars, balance beam and floor exercise

Biles finished the last rotation with stellar floor routine, which earned her a score of 14.666.

Team USA gymnast Suni Lee took part in the uneven bars, beam and floor, and Jade Carey competed on vault.

The 16-year-old Hezly Rivera, a newcomer to Team USA, did not compete in the women’s final, however, she still earned gold.
