Simone Biles, already a legend in the world of gymnastics, is now making waves in an entirely different arena. A field that stands as the stark opposite of athleticism: culinary excellence.

Yes, you read that right! The Olympic champion is set to open her own restaurant at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport. And while the G.O.A.T. gears up to step into this new field, she has again got the person beside her who has continued to stand as a strong pillar of support in every arena Simone has stepped into.

Biles’ biggest cheerleader, her husband, Jonathan Owens, took to social media and showered love for his beloved. Taking to Z, Owens proudly expressed his excitement, writing, “So proud of my baby!!!! Can’t wait until it opens 😌.” This unwavering support from Owens is nothing new. Whether it’s cheering her on during her competitions or celebrating her personal achievements, he has been by Biles’ side every step of the way.

Simone Biles, in collaboration with The Playmakers Group, is opening her new restaurant ‘Taste of Gold’ at the airport. Biles doesn’t want ‘Taste of Gold’ to be just another dining destination. Partnering with The Playmakers Group and food innovator Mark Brezinski, Biles is working towards crafting a menu that promises to offer travelers a world-class experience. The food will be infused with the personal preferences and choice of flavors of the Queen of gymnastics.

However, this sudden step of Simone to venture into this new realm is not completely unexpected. Simone has been following a ritual that truly brings her close to the restaurant. Her love for pepperoni pizza has turned into a cherished tradition that has accompanied her through some of the biggest moments in her gymnastics career. Win or lose, whether she’s taking home a medal or not, Biles celebrates each meet with a comforting slice of pepperoni pizza.

Now as Biles prepares to open her new restaurant, ‘Taste of Gold’, at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport, it would not be surprising if her love for food, especially pepperoni pizza, plays a key role in shaping the menu of her new food heaven. Set to open in early 2025, ‘Taste of Gold’ would soon become a must-visit destination for those passing through Houston. But as it appears from the enthusiasm of ‘Mr. Biles’, it might not be just Simone Biles who plans to make her new venture a success. Simone has always gotten Owens in every major competition she has participated in.

Jonathan Owens pulled off the ultimate play to support Simone Biles at the Paris Olympics

Before the Paris Olympics were set to begin in the City of Love, Owens was counting the days to witness his queen grace the Olympic gymnastics arena. But one factor posed a barrier before Owens could board his flight to Paris. After making a switch from the Green Bay Packers to the Chicago Bears just a few weeks before the Paris Olympics. Unfortunately, Owens’ dates of going into the training camp for his next match coincided with Biles’ events in the Olympics.

Jonathan Owens had to trick his team into getting a few days off to support his wife in the Olympics. He whispered in his agent’s ears and ‘put the bug in’ to get a break. However, it did not turn out to be too tough for Owens to convince his team. Now then, despite being a “long-distance” couple, Simone Biles too often finds time out for a quick escapade.

Flying back and forth, the US gymnastics queen often turns up at Jonathan Owens’ matches, soaking in the exciting spectacle of the NFL. Biles was also present during Owens’ recent debut for the Chicago Bears. Scoring an epic touchdown after blocking a punt, Biles got immensely excited as her husband created history on his debut. Thus, making giant strides in their respective careers, the power couple of American sports is also making sure not to miss out on the concept of love.
