Simone Biles Works Sideline as Credentialed Photographer at Bears–49ers on Sunday Night

The Olympic champion took formal media credentials to shoot her husband Jonathan Owens, reflecting a small wave of gymnasts trying on-field photography.

Overview

  • Biles wore an NFL media vest, carried a Sony camera, and displayed media number 36 matching Bears safety Jonathan Owens.
  • She was filmed by NFL social accounts as she photographed Owens during warmups at Levi’s Stadium.
  • Biles described the assignment as “just a little side gig” and greeted Olivia Culpo on the field before the game.
  • This marked her first appearance as a credentialed photographer, though she frequently attends Chicago games and married Owens in April 2023.
  • Her cameo followed fellow Olympic gymnast Suni Lee’s Christmas Day stint shooting on-field at the Vikings’ win over the Lions.
