Sunday, St. Louis native Jonathan Owens, a CBC High School football standout and the boyfriend of U.S. Olympic champion gymnast Simone Biles, had his first official start in the NFL. The 26 year old, who plays Safety for the Houston Texans was a part of the Texans 30-16 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Owens officially signed with the Texans in 2020, but was cut from the team. He was recently re-added to the roster a few weeks ago. Owens was a standout football player at Missouri Western State University.
According to People Magazine, Biles posted on her Instagram: “#36 showed all the way out today starting! don’t mess with him I’m so proud of you babe!!!,” the gymnast, 24, captioned a pair of images on Instagram, including a photo of her holding hands with the Texans safety and another of her looking up at him during a hug. “I love watching you live your dream!”
