Expounding on the fact that playing sports wouldn’t be a must for their children, Owens reiterated that strategy will work for their kids. In an article written by Emma Aerin Becker and Johnny Dodd for People, the Bears safety said he’d rather focus on making memories with his family.
“If that’s what they want to do, I’m not going to try to force anything on them,” Owens says. “Obviously they’re going to know what their parents did, so that’ll be just something cool for them to look at and for us to be able to relive those stories and memories with them.”
“And she’s big on taking pictures and we’ll have stuff framed up for them,” he adds of Biles.
Owens continues, “But honestly, whatever they want to do, I’ll just support them a hundred percent. I don’t want to force ’em and make it feel like you have to do this because we did. That does generally work out for kids.”
Just recently, Biles had a remarkable performance at the 2024 Olympics, winning three gold medals and a silver. She solidified her legacy as one of the all-time great gymnasts, dominating the sport for over a decade. Meanwhile, Owens skipped the start of training camp to watch and support his wife in Paris.
With Biles accomplishing her goal at the Olympics, she can now focus on starting a family with Owens. If this happens sooner than later, expect a lot of fans to keep their eyes peeled on the couple all the time.
