Simone Biles is being celebrated everywhere she goes!
The 11-time Olympic medalist, 27, received a very warm welcome while dining at Maple & Ash restaurant in Chicago with her husband Jonathan Owens after watching his team, the Chicago Bears, beat the Cincinnati Bengals in the city on Saturday, Aug. 17.
In a boomerang clip reposted on her Instagram Stories, Biles posed with Owens, 29, as she held up a special custom menu for her with the words “Olympic F—— Champion!” printed across it (with some letters in the curse word replaced with symbols), referring to her multiple medal-winning turn at the 2024 Olympics in Paris.
Biles also shared a close-up photo of the menu, zooming in on the words, and a boomerang clip of the group she was with toasting during the meal.

The warm welcome from the restaurant comes after Biles returned home from Paris on Aug. 12 following her record-breaking performance at the Olympics, after winning three gold medals and one silver in gymnastics.
Earlier on Aug. 17, Biles attended Owens’ Chicago Bears game in support during the team’s preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals. The team won 27-3 against the Bengals in the match.
The gymnast posted a photo of her outfit for the game on her Instagram Stories, which showed her wearing a black Prada bucket hat with a black and white oversized jacket printed with an image appearing to depict her husband in a No. 34 jersey — which was his number playing with the Green Bay Packers.
“Bear Down,” Biles captioned the photo.

The champion gymnast also modeled another accessory — a black ankle brace on her left foot — in a boomerang video, which she has been rocking these past few days and during the Olympics, after sustaining an injury to her calf in warmups for the games.
