The gymnast and Owens, who tied the knot in April, just marked their first Halloween as a married couple
Simone Biles and her husband Jonathan Owens came together for Halloween festivities despite their long-distance marriage.
Biles, 26, and Owens, 28, were forced to go long-distance shortly after their wedding in April when Owens — who was playing for their hometown Houston, Texas, when they met — signed with the Green Bay Packers in May.
After the gymnast was seen rooting him on during his team’s game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, the two celebrated the spooky holiday by wearing coordinating costumes.

Owens wore a long black velvet jacket that had a vibrant cheetah print on the edges of its sleeves and collar. The look was paired with matching pants and a wide-brim hat. His accessories include a cane and a large chain that had a silver dollar sign symbol. Biles wore a long cheetah-print coat, a short purple skirt, and a tank top.
The Olympic gold medalist shared a sweet photo of their outfits on Instagram with the caption, “halloween in greenbay 🖤.”
Along with commenting “🧡🖤,” Owens shared the same snap on his Instagram account and wrote, “Halloween with my main lady 👻🧡.”
Biles shared another post that had photos of her friends celebrating the holiday with the caption, “only thing spooky about the night was the tequila shots.” She ended her recap of the festivities by sharing a photo from inside a plane on her Instagram Story with the text, “Miss you already 🫶@jowens.”
Last year, the couple also bought up the heat by sharing their own take on a traditional firefighter ensemble.
In Instagram photos shared by the Olympic gold medalist at the time, Biles wore a mini skirt, crop top set decorated in flames, and black heeled booties to accompany her now-husband, who wore all-black, red suspenders, a Fire Department logo cap, and Balenciaga sneakers.
During an appearance on the Today show last month, Biles opened up about how her perspective on gymnastics has changed since getting married.
“Gymnastics is just something I get to come in and have the privilege of doing. I don’t feel like it’s the end all be all anymore, as before I kind of felt like that. I get to go home to my husband, to my dogs, to my house and all of the things. So it feels really good,” she said. Biles also spoke about her excitement to get to spend more time with Owens during the holidays.
“It’s been really fun supporting what he loves to do,” she said. “Obviously, he’s in Green Bay right now so my season just ended. I’m super excited to get out there to Green Bay for the holidays to support him.”
