Owens reposted a photo of Biles on her Instagram Stories with the caption, “She’s not beautiful.”
This costume choice was well received by fans.
In August, before a preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals, the gymnast angered some by wearing a jacket depicting Owens when he played for the Green Bay Packers. Undeterred by the criticism, Biles later shared the photo on social media with the message, “Good luck.”

Owens signed a two-year contract with the Bears in March after spending one season with the Packers. He was exempted from the start of training camp this summer to support his wife as she continues to make history at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Biles won four medals, including three gold medals, bringing her total Olympic medal count to 11, the most by any American female gymnast.
