Simone Biles wins gold, Jonathan Owens' support wins hearts

• The romance is not going unnoticed, as NBC and other outlets have showcased the couple.

Context: Owens signed a free agent contract with the Bears this offseason to compete for a backup spot in the Bears secondary. As the team started training camp and played a preseason game, Owens has been notably absent.

Yes, but: That's OK, according to the Bears. They gave him permission to miss practices to travel to Paris and cheer on his wife, who is the undisputed star of the Olympic Games.

The intrigue: Owens will return to Halas Hall this week, but the cameras won't stop rolling. The Bears are featured on HBO's "Hard Knocks" this year and odds are it will feature the Owens/Biles storyline.

• When Biles isn't busy being a national treasure, she attends her husband's games. Bears fans will likely see her dressed in blue and orange on the sidelines at Soldier Field.
• The first episode airs Tuesday.

The bottom line: Owens may not be a star on the Bears, but his support of his superstar wife has made him a household name.
