The 2025 ESPYs were supposed to be Simone Biles’ night, and in many ways, they were. Just a day before the big event, she had posted a red-carpet teaser on Instagram with the caption, “nominated for 2 awards ,” hinting at the history she was about to make. And she did, taking home both Best Championship Performance and Best Female Athlete honors. But while Biles dominated the awards stage, it was a moment off-stage that has many fans talking…
As Biles won in both categories, she was quick to mention, “That was unexpected, especially in a category of men. So thank you guys.” This is what she mentioned in her speech as she was handed the award for the Best Championship Performance. For context, this champion had beaten Olympian Steph Curry. But it wasn’t this victory alone that caused buzz among the fans. It was a moment between Simone and her husband, Jonathan Owens, that had the fans gushing all over them.
The NFL safety had all the red carpet and all the fans gushing over him and his wife as he pulled out a gentlemanly act on the 2025 ESPYs Awards red carpet. Biles was posing for the cameras when her gown got stuck in her heels. Without any hesitation, Owens rushed into the frame, bent down to adjust the train of her dress, ensuring his wife looked flawless as the cameras burst into flashes. All of this was captured in a reel posted by Bustle. The Olympic gymnast then posed with her husband before turning to him, looking like having trouble with her bob cut hair, and he once again won hearts here.
The 29-year-old then tenderly extended his arms to help her fix it. The simple gesture, brushing her hair away, got even cuter when he planted a kiss. The red carpet might have been red from all the blush this moment must have brought, or maybe from all the hearts this gesture melted. To add to her joy was the fact that Simone wore a custom Zac Posen x Athleta gown, crafted from the same fabric as her favorite Transcend Open‑Back tee, blending performance comfort with red carpet elegance.
As for Owens, he came dressed in a sharp ensemble from Banana Republic: a crisp white blazer over a deep plunging black dress shirt and black slacks, effortlessly showcasing his tattooed chest and adding bold, modern contrast to Simone’s sparkling gown. The only contrast Owens ever gives Biles in public is to complement each other’s style. They have been pretty much dripped throughout the 2025 season.

Whether they’re walking the red carpet or celebrating personal milestones, the couple never misses a chance. Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens celebrated their second wedding anniversary at the 2025 Met Gala, marking the occasion with an elegant display of unity and style. Biles stunned on the blue carpet in a vibrant Capri-blue Harbison Studio minidress with a dramatic cathedral-length train and intricate 3D floral appliqué. Owens made his Met debut in a crisp white Deji & Kola suit, styled with fringe, a white fur cape, and a striking pearlescent aquamarine pendant, all perfectly in sync with the gala’s theme, Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.
Simone Biles was also selected to give the riders up call in the Kentucky Derby. The couple did not miss this chance to dress up and steal the spotlight. Biles donned a sparkling lavender mini dress adorned with crystals and rhinestones, topped with a wide-brimmed lavender fascinator featuring dramatic feathers, a modern nod to Derby tradition that blended Southern charm and glamor. Owens matched her effortlessly in a paisley lavender blazer worn over crisp white trousers and sneakers, finished with a coordinating purple fedora. How would you rate their dress-up game in 2025?
