Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are the definition of a power couple. Their love story’s splashed across social media and visible in every cheering section, whether it’s Owens hyping Biles at her gymnastics meets or Biles rocking her custom gear to support her husband’s NFL games with the Chicago Bears. Their marriage practically radiates romance, with shared moments that make fans swoon.
Yet, this week, Biles embarked on a solo adventure, traveling a staggering 7,794 miles from Chicago all the way to Hong Kong without her biggest supporter by her side. She’s in the vibrant city to speak at UBS’ 28th Asian Investment Conference (AIC), a prestigious event running from May 27-30, 2025. There, she joined Amy Lo, UBS Global Wealth Management Asia chair, for an engaging fireside chat. Biles also took time to inspire 600 young athletes and fans at local gymnastics clubs, all alongside Cirque du Soleil’s KOOZA show, a UBS-sponsored event. Why would Biles, a gymnastics icon, take on such a unique challenge abroad, miles away from her familiar comforts? So, how did she manage this whirlwind trip, and what did she share with her 12.5 million Instagram followers?
Biles’ Instagram Stories offer a captivating window into her Hong Kong experience, beautifully blending vulnerability with incredible strength. In one story, she humorously noted sleeping a solid 8.5 hours, captioning a photo, “jetlag doesn’t exist for me in hong kong apparently??“—a testament to her remarkable ability to adapt. Another story perfectly captures her at the AIC, confidently speaking and posing for photos, embodying the sheer poise of a seven-time Olympic gold medalist. Additional posts show her wandering through Hong Kong’s bustling markets, truly soaking in the local culture. These candid glimpses reveal a Biles who is both a global superstar and, wonderfully relatable person. What does this significant trip mean for her already inspiring legacy?
This journey to Hong Kong, undertaken far from Owens’ comforting support, powerfully showcases Biles’ independence and remarkable growth. Her ability to connect with fans through authentic updates while fearlessly tackling new challenges abroad solidifies her status as more than just an athlete—she’s a truly global inspiration. How will her next steps, whether back in Chicago or venturing even further, continue to captivate us all?
Biles excited about their new home in Chicago
Simone Biles, the legendary Olympic gymnast, and her husband, Jonathan Owens, have traded the sunny skies of Texas for the windy charm of Chicago! The 28-year-old Texan, famous for her jaw-dropping routines, recently shared on Instagram Stories that the power couple has found a new home in Chicago, where Owens is gearing up for his second season with the Chicago Bears. This move marks an exciting new chapter for the dynamic duo, whose life together is as captivating as Biles’ floor routines. So, what does this new abode mean for their Chicago adventure?
While Biles kept the specifics of their Chicago home under wraps, recently she did give fans a peek into their settling-in process. “Looking at cars for our Chicago home,” she wrote over a snap from a Porsche showroom, hinting at the couple’s efforts to truly make the city their own during the intense NFL season. Meanwhile, their dream lakefront home in Texas, which they’ve been building from scratch for over a year, is nearing completion. Biles has already shared glimpses of its stunning black-and-white marble kitchen backsplash and quirky laundry room tiles. So, how are they managing to balance two homes across state lines, seamlessly blending their high-octane careers with personal milestones?
This Chicago move powerfully underscores Biles and Owens’ incredible adaptability. As they set up shop in the Windy City, we can only wonder what new stories their Chicago abode will inspire.
