Simone Biles' husband, Packers' Jonathan Owens gushes over wife's 'greatness'

Simone Biles' reactions to winning her sixth all-around world championship and becoming the winningest gymnast in the sport's history were simply golden.
Her smiles were as big as her medal collection and her dance after hugging teammate Shilese Jones displayed how much fun she's having and how much this all still means to her 10 years after she won her first world championship.
The title is her 21st world championship gold medal and 27th overall world championship medal. Both of those marks are records.
And Friday's victory makes her the most decorated gymnast ever across world championship and Olympic competitions with 34 total medals.
Her sixth all-around title breaks her own record for a woman at the world championships and ties the record for a man or woman with Japan’s Kōhei Uchimura.

So while winning has became the norm for Biles, 26, in her illustrious career, you can tell she's not taking anything for granted, especially after taking two years off following a tumultuous 2021 Olympics when there were questions around whether her career was over. While Biles has showed she hasn't lost a step in those two years, during this time she said she's put her mental health and family first. She also got married to Packers safety Jonathan Owens during this time.
Since the Packers season is going on, Owens, 28, hasn't been able to be in the gymnastics arenas when Biles made her glorious comeback, or when she won a record eighth U.S. title or this week in Belgium for the world championships. But there's no doubt about it that he's been watching every vault, bar and beam routine and spectacular floor exercise.
Simone Biles' husband, Jonathan Owens, reacts to her record-setting moment
"You deserve it, just getting rewarded for all your dedication and hard work," Owens tweeted Friday afternoon. "Blessed to be able to witness the greatness first hand. I love you so much, I’m so happy for you baby."
Owens posted similar messages on his Instagram story that accompanied images or videos of Biles: "Simply amazing so happy for you baby"; "Got the win and looking damn good doing it"; "Can't get over how beautiful you are, you look so happy."
