Simone Biles’ husband, Jonathan Owens, was called “Mr. Biles” by an NFL commentator after he scored a touchdown during the Chicago Bears vs. Tennessee Titans game on Sunday.
“Mr. Biles getting in there,” the commentator said in a video posted to Instagram that showed the Bears’ safety running to the end zone.
“Well done by him,” the sports announcer added.
Several fans were amused by the commentator referring to Owens, 29, by his wife’s surname as one person commented, “Wait did they said [sic] mr biles 😂.”
“‘Mister Biles getting in there’ is crazy but that’s a super valid acceptable title lol good play Owens 👏, ” another added.
“Boy new name is Johnathan [sic] Biles,” a third quipped, while a fourth chimed in, “Calling him Mr. Biles on live tv is Diabolical 😂😂.”
Biles, 27, also celebrated her husband’s big play when she took to her Instagram Story, posting, “LFG!!! … TOUCHDOWN FOR HUBBY.”
The Bears won their first game of the 2023-2024 season against the Titans 17-24.
Owens made his debut for the Bears after spending the 2023 season with the Green Bay Packers.
Biles has shown her support for the NFL star’s new journey as she attended a preseason game last month.
The 11-time Olympian, however, received backlash from fans when she showed up to the game wearing a Packers jacket.
She has since revealed that she’s stocked up on “plenty” of Bears gear, telling fans not to worry during an interview with TMZ earlier this month.
Biles and Owens have notably cheered each other on in their respective careers.
Owens was in the stands supporting the gymnast as she took home three medals at the 2024 Paris Olympics over the summer.
The couple — who wed in April 2023 — “most definitely” want children, though they “both have goals” to achieve before starting a family.
