Taylor Swift ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn: “I will graciously share a stand with Simone Biles during NFL matches than with Swift.” It seems Alwyn hasn’t moved on after all…See details

Simone Biles incurred the wrath of NFL fans with her fashion choices Saturday as she watched her Chicago Bears husband, Jonathan Owens, suit up.

Fresh off dazzling the crowds in Paris with three gold medals and one silver, the Olympic gymnast caught some NFL preseason action as she cheered on her beau at the Bears’ game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

However, eagle-eyed NFL fans were left enraged as the 27-year-old committed a football fashion faux pas.

Standing on the sidelines at Soldier Field, the Olympic legend was spotted wearing an oversized jacket with photos of her NFL husband printed in black and white.

However, the various snaps featured Owens in action for the Green Bay Packers – the Bears’ longstanding rivals and his former team. To make matters worse, a large Packers logo stood out on the shoulder pad.

As she strolled the sidelines, Biles was also sporting a protective boot on her left foot from a calf injury she endured at the Olympics. She topped off the look with a pair of reflective silver shades, a black Prada bucket hat and a Balenciaga purse.

Despite her attempts to make a touching and supportive gesture towards Owens, Biles found herself wading into one of the league’s fiercest rivalries and fans were far from impressed.

‘Simone Biles should be stripped of all her medals after wearing Packers gear while cheering for the Bears,’ one social media user posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.

‘Yeah yeah I get it, her husband played for the packers and it’s an Owens themed jacket, but this is just wrong.’

Others echoed the sentiment, questioning Biles’ seemingly oblivious football knowledge.

‘With all due respect, Simone Biles gotta throw that jacket in the trash ASAP,’ another claimed. ‘How did she get in with that?’

‘She’s obviously supporting her husband Jonathan Owens and she’s one of the greatest Olympians so she gets a pass…but it’s still one of the oldest rivalries in all of football & she’s rocking #GoPackGo logos lol,’ posted The Athletic’s Chase Daniel.

‘Release her hubby now!’ one particularly furious Bears fan chimed in, while another added, ‘It’s ridiculously unaware of your surroundings and insulting to her husband.’

Owens played one season in Green Bay last year before making the move down Lake Michigan to Chicago earlier this year.

As his other half geared up for her quest for gold in Paris, the safety agreed a two-year deal with the Bears believed to be worth $4.5million in March.

The gymnast appeared elated with her partner’s move, celebrating the deal in a series of tweets.

‘CHICAGO HERE HE COMES’, she posted before appearing to reveal that she does not plan to make the permanent move with her man.

‘I’m so excited about not having a connecting flight to go and see my husband hahahaha’, she wrote in a follow-up message.

However, despite her initial joy, amid decorating herself with more Olympic medals, it seems Biles has not had time to update her game-day wardrobe.

Owens appears to have settled into his new NFL chapter in Chicago with the franchise even allowing him five days off from preseason training so he could make the journey to Paris to watch his wife at the Olympics.

Owens and Biles met on the celebrity dating app Raya in 2020, when she was already a four-time Olympic gold medalist and considered one of the greatest gymnasts of all-time.

Biles and Owens got engaged in 2022 and were married last April.

Owens came under fire late last year for admitting he did not know who Biles was before the pair met.

The backlash for Owens was so heavy that Biles had to interfere by posting on her Instagram story ‘STOP BRINGING ME UP’ followed by 14 laughing-face emojis and concluded with ‘work on that for the new year’.
