Simone Biles was born in Columbus, Ohio in 1997 but moved to Spring, Texas, to live with her grandfather in 2000. Spring is in Harris County, Texas, about 30 minutes outside Houston.
Biles grew up in Spring, attending local schools until she switched to homeschooling in high school to focus on gymnastics. She initially was going to attend UCLA but forfeited her eligibility to compete in gymnastics professionally. Biles has become an Olympics MVP, winning seven total gold medals between the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro and the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
When Biles was only 5, the Houston Texans played their first season in the NFL. While the franchise has been close to her almost her whole life, it doesn't mean she is automatically a Texans fan, especially when she has another strong personal connection with another team.

Is Simone Biles a Texans fan?
There isn't any information suggesting that Biles roots for or against the Texans. The tenure of her NFL fandom has been discussed, but it seems that she is fairly new to the sport in trying to support her husband.
Who is Simone Biles' Husband?
Biles met Jonathan Owens on the social media app Raya in August 2020. Owens was a member of the Texans at the time, and the duo was engaged in 2022. The couple got married in April 2023, and Owens signed with the Green Bay Packers the next month.
After one season in Green Bay, Owens signed a two-year deal with the Chicago Bears. Biles attended a preseason game donning a custom jacket of an accumulation of pictures highlighting the high points of Owens' career to that point. Unfortunately, many of the pictures saw him in a Green Bay jersey, and the Chicago faithful didn't take too kindly to seeing it on the sidelines of Soldier Field.
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

Will Simone Biles be at Bears vs. Texans?
Biles has been to Owens' games and seems to follow them even if she isn't attending in person. The Olympic gold medalist took to X to show her support after Owens returned a blocked punt for a 21-yard touchdown in Chicago's Week 1 win over the Tennessee Titans.

Biles won't be able to be at every Chicago game this season, as she will be hosting the Gold Over America tour. Several other gymnasts will join Biles to put on a "pop concert-style spectacle." The tour's first stop is in Oceanside, Calif. on Monday, September 16. The Bears will take on the Texans for 'Sunday Night Football' on Sept. 15, so unless she flies overnight, Biles likely won't be able to attend the primetime matchup.
