Simone Biles’ husband was nearly robbed while supporting his wife at the Winter Olympics in Italy. Jonathan Owens, a safety for the Chicago Bears and husband of the American gymnastics superstar, revealed he was almost robbed while shopping in Milan during the games. Biles, the most successful gymnast in Olympic history, has been attending events in Italy alongside him, including Friday’s men’s figure skating final. Owens, 30, posted on X that someone attempted to snatch his shopping bag but failed. “Not somebody just tried to snatch my shopping bag in Milan,” he wrote. “Force of habit I had it tied around my hand so he couldn’t get it and took off running immediately….but still crazy.” He added that he had been “prepared” after seeing “too many TikToks of that happening.” When asked if he considered chasing the suspect, Owens said the man was “not fast at all.” “Honestly bro it was hilarious how slow he started running away once he saw he couldn’t grab it out of my hand,” Owens wrote. “Should’ve seen his face once he realised.”
