Simone Biles is thankful for her man!
The gymnast, 26, marked Thanksgiving with a special Instagram post dedicated to her husband, Green Bay Packers safety Jonathan Owens.
On Friday, the Olympic athlete shared two adorable black-and-white selfies, one smiling and the other in which she plants a huge kiss on his cheek.
“Thankful 🍽🦃🍁💛,” she captioned the pics.
On Turkey Day, Biles celebrated Owens, 28, in a different way — by cheering for him on X (formerly Twitter) after he scored a touchdown during the Packers’ Thanksgiving game against the Detroit Lions.
The Olympian reposted a clip of the touchdown shared by the NFL, and wrote, “THATS MY HUSBAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY MANS MY MANS MY MANSSSSS🥹🥹🥹🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 LFGGGGGGOOOOOOO!”
Owens’ touchdown also helped lead the Wisconsin team to a huge 29-22 victory over the Lions, which Biles also celebrated on X, writing, “A PACKERS WIN BABY!!!!!!!!! happy thanksgiving 🦃🍽 🍁.”

Earlier in the week, Biles had a front row seat to another Packers victory. She was in attendance at Lambeau Field when Owens and his team defeated the Los Angeles Chargers 23-20 on Nov. 19.
She documented the day with a sweet Instagram Story post of herself greeting her husband for a sideline smooch.

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens share a kiss on Nov. 19.
The pro athletes got legally married at a courthouse in their hometown, Houston, in April, and said “I do” again in an elaborate ceremony in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico a month later.
Owens — who was playing for the Houston Texans when he first met Biles in 2020 — signed with the Packers in May, and the couple has been navigating a long-distance marriage since.
After becoming the most decorated gymnast of all time at the World Championships in October, Biles has been spending more time with Owens in Green Bay, and staying in their hometown of Houston to document the construction of the couple’s home.
Earlier this year, Biles opened up about married life and how it has impacted her perspective on her career.
“Gymnastics is just something I get to come in and have the privilege of doing,” the Olympic medalist told Today.
“I don’t feel like it’s the end all be all anymore, as before I kind of felt like that,” she explained. “I get to go home to my husband, to my dogs, to my house and all of the things. So it feels really good.”
The gymnast, sporting a sparkly “Owens” pendant for the interview, also gave a hint about her plans for the rest of the year — cheering on her husband.
“It’s been really fun supporting what he loves to do,” she told Today. “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.”
