Jonathan Owens may be best known to some fans as the husband of Olympic gymnastics icon
Simone Biles , but the
Chicago Bears safety is continuing to build his own legacy-both on and off the field. While the couple has recently been turning heads at high-profile events,
Owens has also taken time to quietly make a meaningful difference in his new city. The pair drew significant attention earlier this month at the Kentucky Derby, arriving in perfectly coordinated purple outfits.
Owens ' visible support for
Biles , especially during her memorable "Riders Up" call, even sparked a wave of admiration online. The trend continued at the 2025 Met Gala, where the two once again matched-
Biles in a dramatic blue minidress and
Owens in a sharp all-white ensemble accented in blue. But while their public appearances have made headlines, it's what
Owens did on his own this week that struck a deeper chord in Chicago.
Owens makes heartfelt visit to children's hospital
On Thursday,
Owens shared via Instagram that he had spent the previous day visiting a local children's hospital. The post included several photos of
Owens interacting with young patients, offering smiles, encouragement, and a needed break from their daily challenges. "Met some cool kids at the children's hospital yesterday,"
Owens captioned the post. The reaction was swift and overwhelmingly positive. Followers filled the comments section with gratitude and praise for the NFL veteran's kindness and generosity. "Thank you so much for coming yesterday! The kids absolutely adored the visit!" one commenter wrote. Another added, "This act of spreading love is absolutely BEAUTIFUL."
Owens ' visit wasn't part of a broader publicity campaign-it was simply a gesture of goodwill, reminding fans that athletes can use their platforms to create joy in deeply personal ways. As Owens and Biles continue to enjoy their offseason together, it's clear their shared values extend beyond the red carpet. Whether it's through fashion statements or charitable gestures, the couple seems committed to leaving a positive mark-both in Chicago and beyond.
