Simone Biles met Jonathan Owens at the sideline before kickoff on November 9, 2026. The Indianapolis Colts safety kissed his wife, then finished the couple's usual handshake before joining his teammates. Then the game started, and it went badly. Dak Prescott drove the Dallas Cowboys down the field in the final minute, and Javonte Williams scored from one yard out to win 27-23. The pregame moment still drew plenty of attention. It also landed in the middle of a busy autumn for Biles, who has just moved herself and her dogs to Indianapolis for good.

Jonathan Owens And Simone Biles Bring Back Their Handshake For The Indianapolis Colts

Fans got their first look at the routine in August, during a Colts preseason game. The NFL posted the clip with the caption “Had to do their handshake too.” Owens held out his hand, Biles joined in, and it ended with a kiss. The November version looked much the same.

The game did not. Indianapolis moved ahead 23-20 on a 50-yard field goal. Dallas answered fast. Prescott connected with Ryan Flournoy on a 46-yard completion, and Williams finished the job with his one-yard run. The Cowboys never gave the lead back.

Simone Biles Explains Her Move To Indianapolis As Jonathan Owens Starts A New Chapter With The Colts

Owens signed a one-year deal with the Colts in March. Biles posted her reaction on Instagram right away: “Excited to call Indy home this upcoming football season Beyond proud of you @jowens! Keep defeating the odds, I love you,” she wrote.

She did not move at once. Speaking to PEOPLE at the 2026 US Open on September 8, she said: “I've been in Houston most of the time, so I'm going to officially move there [to Indianapolis] a little bit later.” Her reasoning was plain: “I'm just excited to watch my husband. It doesn't matter, as long as he's safe and healthy and he's having fun, then I don't care.”

By October 22, she told Parade the work was almost done: “I feel like we've been preparing for it for a while, just like slowly moving things over.” The last step was her own arrival. “The last thing was myself and the dogs, which we just did this week, and I'm just excited about the slower pace. It's a lot slower than Chicago and Houston, so I think relaxation is in my future.”

The couple also sold their former home in Spring, Texas, after six years. The sale closed on October 15. Their new custom-built Texas mansion, finished on November 11, 2025, remains part of the picture. Biles has not said whether she will compete at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
