Simone Biles celebrates her ‘Olympic fucking champion’ status during dinner with husband Jonathan Owens

Simone Biles celebrated her record-breaking Olympic victory with a steak dinner shared with her husband, Chicago Bears football safety Jonathan Owens. The menu read, “Olymping F***ing Champion.”

In her Instagram Stories shared yesterday, the decorated American gymnast showed videos of celebratory toasts and an image of confetti raining down with sparklers and bottle service. The pair dined at Maple & Ash, a Chicago steakhouse that reposted her images on social media with the caption, “Champions eat at Maple.”

The 2024 Paris Olympics established Biles as the most decorated American gymnast of all time, with a record 11 medals to her name, four of which came at this year’s Games. She returned to the world arena after withdrawing from the Tokyo Games due to a life-threatening bout of “twisties,” a dangerous phenomenon in which gymnasts lose their sense of place in the air.

In Paris, Biles won gold in the Team, All-Around and Vault, and silver in the Floor routine, the latter marking the first all-black podium in a men’s or women’s gymnastics event, joining Rebeca Andrade and Jordan Chiles (whose bronze medal is still in the running, as U.S. officials plan to appeal the Olympic Committee’s decision to award the prize to Romania’s Ana Bărbosu).

While celebrating her victory, Biles has not ruled out competing in the 2028 Olympic Games, which will be held in her hometown of Los Angeles. At 27, she became the oldest U.S. Olympic gold medalist in 72 years.

“Never say never,” she told reporters at the Games. “The next Olympics are at home. So you never know.” She added with a laugh: “But I’m getting really old.”
