The gymnast received the special greeting as she dined out with her husband on Aug. 17

Simone Biles is being celebrated everywhere she goes!

The 11-time Olympic medalist, 27, received a very warm welcome while dining at Maple & Ash restaurant in Chicago with her husband Jonathan Owens after watching his team, the Chicago Bears, beat the Cincinnati Bengals in the city on Saturday, Aug. 17.

In a boomerang clip reposted on her Instagram Stories, Biles posed with Owens, 29, as she held up a special custom menu for her with the words “Olympic F—— Champion!” printed across it (with some letters in the curse word replaced with symbols), referring to her multiple medal-winning turn at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.

Biles also shared a close-up photo of the menu, zooming in on the words, and a boomerang clip of the group she was with toasting during the meal.

The warm welcome from the restaurant comes after Biles returned home from Paris on Aug. 12 following her record-breaking performance at the Olympics, after winning three gold medals and one silver in gymnastics.

Earlier on Aug. 17, Biles attended Owens’ Chicago Bears game in support during the team’s preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The team won 27-3 against the Bengals in the match.

The gymnast posted a photo of her outfit for the game on her Instagram Stories, which showed her wearing a black Prada bucket hat with a black and white oversized jacket printed with an image appearing to depict her husband in a No. 34 jersey — which was his number playing with the Green Bay Packers.

“Bear Down,” Biles captioned the photo.

The champion gymnast also modeled another accessory — a black ankle brace on her left foot — in a boomerang video, which she has been rocking these past few days and during the Olympics, after sustaining an injury to her calf in warmups for the games.

On Thursday, Aug. 15, Biles posted a photo of her reunited with Owens for the first time since returning home from the 2024 Olympics. The gymnast shared a snap of husband styling his hair while standing in a bathroom mirror alongside one of their bulldogs.

“🥰🥵🤍,” Biles captioned the shot of the NFL player.

Simone Biles broke her silence with a short and sweet message on social media Sunday – one day after incurring the wrath of NFL fans.

Still basking in the glory of her three Olympic gold medals from Paris, the gymnast sparked backlash with a controversial gameday fit at Soldier Field Saturday.

The 27-year-old showed out in support of her husband, Jonathan Owens, at the Chicago Bears‘ preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals, wearing a custom jacket with black-and-white printed images of Owens on it.

However, the Olympic legend made an NFL rookie error as the various snaps featured Owens in action for the Green Bay Packers – the Bears’ longstanding fierce rivals and his former team.

Despite flirting with football controversy, Biles, the Olympic all-around champion from the Paris Games, brushed off the backlash by making it known where her loyalties lie.

With just over two weeks until the 2024 NFL season kicks off, Biles pledged her support to Owens and Chicago by posting, ‘bear down,’ to X, formerly known as Twitter.

The gymnastic icon shared two photos of herself at the iconic stadium but ensured to keep any Packers logos on her jacket out of sight.

On Saturday, in addition to the photos of Owens suited up in Packers uniform, a large Green Bay logo on the shoulder pad had stood out in certain snaps and videos.

As she strolled the sidelines, Biles was also sporting a protective boot on her left foot from a calf injury she endured at the Olympics. She topped off the look with a pair of reflective silver shades, a black Prada bucket hat and a Balenciaga purse.

Her attempts to make a touching and supportive gesture towards Owens, landed Biles in the middle of one of the league’s fiercest rivalries and fans were far from impressed with one even claiming she should be ‘stripped of all her medals’ for her fashion fumble.

And some eagle-eyed social media users still managed to catch a glimpse of a Packers presence in her outfit, despite her best attempts to cover it up.

‘Saying that while wearing the Packers Jacket,’ one wrote in the replies, adding to side-eye emojis.

‘We know what you really mean. #GoPackGo,’ another posted, while one added, ‘Is that a Packers jacket?’

Owens played one season in Green Bay last year before making the move down Lake Michigan to Chicago earlier this year.

As his other half geared up for her quest for gold in Paris, the safety agreed a two-year deal with the Bears believed to be worth $4.5million in March.

The gymnast appeared elated with her partner’s move , celebrating the deal in a series of tweets.

‘CHICAGO HERE HE COMES’, she posted before appearing to reveal that she does not plan to make the permanent move with her man.

‘I’m so excited about not having a connecting flight to go and see my husband hahahaha’, she wrote in a follow-up message.

Shanon Biles, the estranged mother of Olympic gymnast Simone Biles, publicly seeks forgiveness and hopes for reconciliation. In a Daily Mail interview, Shanon reflects on her past struggles with addiction and expresses a desire to mend her relationship with Simone and her sister Adria.

In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, Shanon Biles, the estranged mother of gymnastics champion Simone Biles, publicly expressed her wish for reconciliation. Shanon, now 52, has reflected on her past decisions that led her to give up Simone and her sister Adria to their grandparents, Ron and Nellie Biles when the girls were toddlers due to her struggles with addiction.

Shanon shared her hopes of one day personally seeking forgiveness from Simone, emphasizing that she is ready to make amends and move forward. “I would like to make amends with Simone personally — I’m just waiting for her and Adria,” Shanon said. “I hope to sit down and discuss our past. Please don’t judge me on my past. Let’s move forward.”

Shanon, who has been sober and is currently working as a cashier, admitted that she has been following Simone’s recent Olympic success from her home in Columbus, Ohio. Despite not having direct communication with Simone, she remains hopeful for a potential reunion. Shanon mentioned that she stays informed about her daughters through her father, Ron.

The public reaction has been mixed. Some express empathy for Shanon’s desire to reconnect, while others criticize her for seeking forgiveness only now, after Simone’s success. Comments online reflect a broader debate about accountability and the timing of such reconciliation efforts.

Simone, who has previously been clear about her relationship with her biological mother, continues to focus on her achievements and personal life. The complex dynamics between Simone and her estranged mother remain a sensitive subject as both navigate their past and future interactions.

Simone Biles gave fans a peek inside her downtime in Paris, where she brought home an impressive medal haul at the 2024 Olympics.

After she finished competing, earning three golds and one silver for Team USA, the 27-year-old took in the sights of the French capital with her sister, Adria.

‘From paris with love,’ Biles captioned a series of Instagram snaps on Tuesday.

She was all smiles in the photos, which showed her rocking a beige tank top and a diamond tennis necklace.

The gymnast posed at the Christian Dior Café, adorned with monogrammed cushions and a life-sized giraffe, before floating down the Seine River on a boat.

Biles also looked gleeful as she struck a pose on a balcony, while rocking a sweater that read, ‘Not from Paris Madame.’

The decorated athlete later jetted home to the US, where she told fans she’s ‘never been so happy.’

She reunited with her husband, Jonathan Owens, who was cheering her on in Paris while on a short break from the Chicago Bears training camp.

Biles completed a glorious return to the Olympics in Paris after withdrawing from the Tokyo Games with a case of the ‘Twisties’.

She toasted her success in the French capital with a party alongside Adria at ritzy nightclub, L’Arc Paris.

‘If you see me out at the club, pls tell me to go home,’ Biles joked over the clip shared to her Instagram Story.

‘For my own sake and health in the am (morning),’ she added.

Biles was a leading light for Team USA, who finished top of the medal table at the Paris Olympics.

Naturally, she was tapped to get involved in the Closing Ceremony, where she handed the five-ringed Olympic flag to Tom Cruise, signaling the passing of the torch from Paris to Los Angeles, where the 2028 Games will be held.

Simone Biles’s estranged mother publicly begs her daughter for an opportunity to reconnect.

Shanon Biles, the estranged mother of superstar gymnast Simone Biles, has recently expressed her desire to reconnect with her daughter.

Simone recently added to her gold medal count at the Paris Olympics, calcifying her legacy as one of the greatest gymnasts ever. She won three gold medals in the Paris Games: artistic individual all-around, artistic team All-around and value artistic gymnastics, bringing her total Olympic gold medal count to seven.

Biles has been in high spirits since the games, enjoying her triumph and revelling in her GOAT status. She could be set for some sober—tear-jerking—talks soon, however, as her mother, Sonia, who abandoned her as a child, has taken to the public her desire to mend their relationship.

What Sonia said

The 52-year-old abandoned Simone and her younger sister Adria with their grandparents Ron and Nellie Biles while they were kids, as she struggled with drug and alcohol addiction.

In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, she sought forgiveness from her daughter and hopes they can reconnect.

“I would like to make amends with Simone personally; I’m just waiting for her and [her younger sister] Adria,” Shanon said.

“I speak to Adria more than I speak to Simone. I would just ask her to forgive me. Can we move forward? Don’t judge me on my past. Let’s move forward.

“I’m waiting for the opportunity but I’m waiting on her to be able to come to me. Let’s sit down. I just have to be patient.”

“I would like to make amends with Simone personally. I’m just waiting for her and Adria,” Shanon Biles said

Simone Biles’ biological mother has expressed her wish to reconcile with her Olympian daughter. In a Tuesday interview with Daily Mail, Shanon Biles revealed that she wants to “make amends” with the 27-year-old gymnast. Due to the Ohio native’s struggles with addiction, Simone was placed in foster care and later adopted by her grandparents at the tender age of 6.

Shanon Biles begs Simone Biles for forgiveness

During the lengthy and emotional interview, Shanon recalled losing the custody of her children while she was embattled with financial and legal woes. Recounting her troubled past, the 52-year-old expressed her hopes of reconciliation as she begged Simone for forgiveness.

“I would like to make amends with Simone personally. I’m just waiting for her and Adria,” Shanon told the outlet, adding that she speaks to Simone’s younger sister, Adria more than her. “I would just ask her to forgive me. Can we move forward? Don’t judge me on my past. Let’s move forward,” she said of the 11-time Olympics champion.

“I’m waiting for the opportunity but I’m waiting on her to be able to come to me. Let’s sit down. I just have to be patient,” she continued. Shanon explained that although she is not in contact with her daughter anymore, she continually asks her father, Ronald Biles, Simone’s adoptive parent, about her.

“What I hear about Simone I hear through my dad. I speak to my dad all the time. We’re good now. It was just his birthday, and I called to wish him happy birthday,” she said, adding, “If I need to know anything I call my dad. I ask him about Simone, and he keeps me posted.”

The most decorated gymnast is sporting more than Olympic gold medals this summer

Simone Biles is sporting more than just Olympic gold medals this summer.

The most decorated gymnast is now the owner of an iconic Hermés bag — one of fashion’s most coveted items.

“My parents bought me my Hermés bag,” Biles took to Threads on Wednesday. “Don’t be mad at me, be mad at your parents,” she added.

When one user asked about the detailing of the bag, the seven-time Olympic gold medalist responded, “Black w/ silver hardware! I’ll post a picture soon.”

Last week Biles shared photos of a shopping trip she took at the designer store. She showcased a wall of Hermés Birkin bags along with an orange gift box on a table.

Biles, 27, left the 2024 Paris Olympics with three gold medals and a silver medal in four different gymnastic events.

One of the questions the gymnastics GOAT was constantly asked was where she sees her career headed and if she will be competing in 2028 Los Angeles.

Biles was quick to respond, “You guys really gotta stop asking athletes what’s next after they win a medal at the Olympics.”

In the meantime, fans can look forward to seeing more ways Biles will celebrate her record-breaking and historic achievements in Paris.

The decorated Olympian has been keeping fans updated on the progress of her Texas home over the past year.
