Simone Biles is out with the old and in with the new.
The seven-time Olympic gold medalist confirmed that her closet no longer features Packers attire and has been refreshed with Bears gear to support her husband, Chicago safety Jonathan Owens.
Owens, who spent only one season with the Packers after four with the Texans, signed a two-year contract with the Bears during the offseason.
Biles previously drew criticism from Chicago fans after sporting a jacket that included black and white photos of Owens in Packers garb and few Green Bay logos at the Bears’ preseason clash with the Bengals on Aug. 17.
At the time, Biles didn’t defend herself against the critics but did post on social media.
“The way I be wanting to clap back soooo bad but I gotta stay as classy as possible,” Biles shared on Threads then.
However, Bears fans should no longer fear that her loyalties lie elsewhere.
“Yes, I have plenty [of Bears gear] now,” Biles said as she was leaving the Global Summit on Women’s Mental Health on Thursday, as covered by TMZ. “So, don’t you worry, guys!”
Biles’ first chance — if she attends — to wear some of that new gear in the regular season will come on Sunday when the Bears host the Titans.
This will be Owens’ sixth NFL season with his fourth team since he signed with the Cardinals as an undrafted free agent in 2018.
Before the start of that season, he was waived due to an injury and spent the year on IR.
In 2019, he signed a deal to join the Texans’ practice squad before playing four seasons in Houston.
The safety recorded a sack, forced fumble, 84 tackles and a fumble recovery for a touchdown for the Packers last season.
The couple had an eventful offseason that included Owens adjusting to his new team to Biles’ return to the Olympics after a bout of the “twisties” in Tokyo in 2021 that forced her to withdraw from the games.
Biles, 27, walked away from Paris with three gold medals — the women’s individual all-around, women’s vault and team all-around — along with a silver in the floor exercise final.
She now holds 11 total Olympic medals and didn’t shut the door on coming back for the 2028 Games in Los Angeles.
