The world’s most decorated gymnast turns 29 just as husband Jonathan Owens trades his Chicago Bears jersey for a new contract with the Indianapolis Colts.

While the sports world often focuses on the gravity-defying feats of Simone Biles in the arena, her recent weekend was defined by milestone moments occurring far from the gymnastics floor.

On Saturday, March 14, 2026, the legendary athlete marked her 29th birthday, a celebration that coincided with a significant shift in her family’s professional life.

Only 24 hours prior to her big day, her husband, NFL safety Jonathan Owens, officially moved on from his two-year stint with the Chicago Bears to sign a new deal in free agency.

The timing turned a routine birthday into a celebratory send-off for the couple as they prepare to relocate their lives to Indiana.

Biles, who has amassed seven Olympic gold medals throughout her unparalleled career, began her personal festivities on Friday evening. She documented the transition from age 28 with a high-end dinner that featured an elaborate, ornate dessert.

The culinary centerpiece consisted of three scoops of sorbet encased in a delicate ice dome, topped with a chocolate disc reading “Happy Birthday.”

Dressed for the occasion in a white, halter-neck mini dress paired with a Louis Vuitton purse, the icon shared the intimate start of her 29th year with her millions of followers, setting a tone of elegance for the transition ahead.

Embracing the Indianapolis frontier and a one-year deal

The professional news that bookended the birthday celebrations involved a one-year agreement for Owens to join the Indianapolis Colts.

Having spent the previous two seasons in the Windy City, where he was a fixture in the Bears‘ secondary, Owens will now bring his veteran experience to the AFC South.

Biles, known for being a vocal presence in the stands during NFL Sundays, immediately took to social media to signal her support for the move.

On Friday, she shared an announcement of the contract with a message that dismissed any superstitions regarding the date: “No Friday the 13th scaries here. So proud of you, baby. Indy, here we come.”

This move to Indianapolis represents the latest major life change for the pair, who married in 2023. Owens‘ time in Chicago was marked by consistent reliability, as he participated in every regular-season and playoff game during his tenure.
