Simone Biles‘ husband, Jonathan Owensmade good on his promise… he skipped out on Bears training camp and is now in Paris to watch the gymnastics star compete in the Olympics.
The NFL defensive back — who ensured his new Chicago team let him go to the Games this summer, when he signed a two-year contract this offseason — showed on his Instagram page that he was on his way to France on Monday night.
He wrote on a selfie on the plane: “I’m coming to get you babe”… and on Tuesday morning, he showed he had landed safely.

It’s unclear how long Owens will be out after that — Biles is scheduled to compete in four more events through Aug. 5, but he needs to return to his day job as soon as possible.
Still, Biles and Team USA are the heavy favorites to take home the gold on Tuesday… and you can bet Owens will have one of the best seats in the house to watch it all.
