Okay, pause everything. If you thought the Kentucky Derby was all about horses and hats, Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens just proved you dead wrong.
The Olympic GOAT and her NFL hubby pulled up to Churchill Downs and straight-up stole the entire show. Cameras? Flashing. Fans? Screaming. Fashion? On another level.
Simone served body, beauty, and baller energy in a sleek, form-fitting dress that looked like it was designed by angels. Owens? Dripped out in a tailored suit that had “husband material” written all over it (literally—ask Twitter). Together? Total power couple vibes.

But it wasn’t just about the looks. According to reports, Simone got the ultimate Derby honor—delivering the iconic “Riders Up!” call before the big race. That’s right. She wasn’t just there to pose—she ran the show.
And as if that wasn’t enough flex for one weekend… she casually visited her upcoming restaurant at Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport before flying out. It’s called “Taste of Gold,” which is honestly perfect because gold is literally Simone’s thing. She checked out the construction site with full-on boss energy. Hard hat. Big plans. No notes.

Oh—and in case you forgot they’re married and adorable—Simone spilled a little tea on her 2023 wedding. Apparently, Owens completely botched the groomsmen’s suit colors. “They weren’t wearing the correct colors I told them to,” she told People.
But hey, when you’re this cute together, even wedding mishaps turn into couple goals.
Bottom line? They’re booked, busy, and better than ever. The Derby was just the backdrop—Simone and Jonathan were the whole movie.
