Simone Biles suits up as NFL photographer during 49ers-Bears thriller

  • Simone Biles was on the sidelines as a credentialed photographer for the Chicago Bears vs. San Francisco 49ers game.
  • Biles’ husband, Jonathan Owens, is a safety for the Chicago Bears.
  • The decorated Olympic gymnast often travels to support her husband at his games.

When she’s not winning gold medals, Simone Biles stays busy.

Her latest quest? Becoming a NFL photographer.

The decorated American Olympic gymnast, with seven gold medals to her name, roamed the sidelines of the San Francisco 49ers’ 42-38 victory over the Chicago Bears prior to and during ‘Sunday Night Football’ as a credentialed photographer.

Biles’ husband, Jonathan Owens, is a safety for the Bears. The couple wed in 2023. Biles often travels to his away games, but she’s not typically on the clock.

Biles is not the first athlete to take photography more seriously than a hobby. Baseball Hall of Famer Ken Griffey Jr. has been credentialed for major golf tournaments and former pitcher Randy Johnson has published works chronicling wildlife in Africa. Biles’ fellow Team USA gymnast, Suni Lee, recently snapped some shots at a Minnesota Vikings game.

Owens has seen his role largely confined to special teams over the last month of the season.
