Simone Biles’ 28th Birthday: Rodeo, Romance, and a Special Surprise
After jet-setting across the world—from tropical escapes to African safaris—you’d think Simone Biles’ 28th birthday would be tough to top. But Jonathan Owens proved once again that he knows exactly how to make his wife feel special. The NFL safety pulled off a Texas-style celebration that was both extravagant and deeply personal.
A Rodeo Under the Texas Sky
On March 14, Jonathan and Simone stepped out for a night at the Houston Rodeo, decked out in full Western attire. Owens took to Instagram Stories, sharing a photo of the two seated in the stadium, captioned:
> “Happy birthday baby ❤️”
Simone embraced the cowgirl aesthetic, rocking a maroon crop top, white shorts, and matching Western boots, while Jonathan complemented her perfectly in all black—from his shirt to his cowboy hat. But the real detail? His pointed-toe boots matched Simone’s—a subtle yet intentional nod to their undeniable chemistry.
The Most Unexpected Birthday Gift
Beyond the rodeo, there was one small but deeply sentimental moment—a pink piglet plush toy Simone held outside a toy store.
For most, it might just seem like a cute birthday souvenir. But for Simone, it was a symbol of how far she’s come. Having spent part of her childhood in foster care, small luxuries like stuffed animals weren’t always within reach. Now, as a seven-time Olympic champion, she stands in a place of love, success, and security—and Jonathan’s thoughtful gesture didn’t go unnoticed.
> This wasn’t just a gift. It was a quiet acknowledgment of her journey.
Flashback to Their First Rodeo
This wasn’t Simone and Jonathan’s first rodeo date. Fans might remember March 2022, just after their engagement, when the couple turned heads at the same festival. That night, Simone playfully tilted her cowboy hat just enough to steal a kiss—a moment that had Texans blushing and cheering.
Have they recreated that magic? Maybe. But what’s clear is that whether it’s public gestures or private moments, their love remains as strong as ever.
Texas Pride and Birthday Tributes
Simone made sure to show her Texas roots, sharing clips from the rodeo—including an emotional flag-waving ceremony that screamed Lone Star pride. She also flooded her Instagram with reposts from family and friends, including her sister Adria Biles, who called her:
> “My forever built-in best friend.”
So, from matching boots to sentimental gifts, from Texas rodeos to heartfelt birthday wishes, Jonathan Owens didn’t just plan a celebration—he created a memory.
