Olympic champion Simone Biles and her husband, NFL star Jonathan Owens, are excited about the prospect of expanding their family. In an exclusive interview at the 2025 Kentucky Derby, Biles revealed that while they plan to introduce their children to sports early on, their ultimate goal is to encourage them to discover their own passions. Despite her athletic prowess, Simone emphasized that she will support any path her children choose, whether it’s in sports or an entirely different field like music. The couple, who tied the knot in April 2023, continue to cherish their time together as they anticipate the next chapter of their lives.
On May 3rd, during the prestigious Kentucky Derby in Louisville, Ky., Simone shared her vision for raising children with Jonathan. She mentioned that while sports would be a natural starting point for their offspring, the pair remains open-minded about their future endeavors. "We’re obviously going to immerse them in sports initially," she stated, adding that the focus would be on helping them develop confidence and skills. However, Simone made it clear that her family's priority lies in nurturing their children's individual interests, regardless of the chosen domain.
At just 28 years old, Simone has already achieved remarkable success, but motherhood remains a significant aspiration. Speaking fondly of Jonathan, she noted how both share a mutual desire to build a family. While they currently enjoy each other’s company, attending events like the Kentucky Derby in coordinated outfits, the couple acknowledges that having children aligns perfectly with their long-term plans. “He would have started yesterday if he could,” Simone joked, referring to Jonathan's eagerness to become a father.
In August of last year, Simone had already begun discussing her family plans publicly. During an appearance on Today, she expressed her excitement about becoming a parent alongside Jonathan. Although they recognize the importance of achieving personal milestones before starting a family, Simone affirmed that parenthood is undoubtedly part of their future. Their enthusiasm for creating a supportive environment where their children can flourish shines through in every conversation.
The dynamic duo continues to balance their careers and personal lives while eagerly anticipating the arrival of new chapters. Whether through sports, music, or another passion, Simone and Jonathan are committed to fostering an atmosphere of encouragement and exploration for their future children. As they navigate this journey together, their love and dedication remain evident in every step they take.
