Biles' daring style choice at the Bears-Vikings game has a deeper connection to her well-documented challenges in finding pants that fit her petite frame. The Olympic icon, who stands at 4'8," has been candid about her struggle to shop for pants that suit her unique proportions.
Back in August 2024, Biles shared her experiences on Instagram, providing fans with a glimpse into the difficulty she faces. "Before y'all complain that nothing fits y'all, I want y'all to see my struggle…" she wrote in her Instagram Story, accompanied by a photo of the tag on a pair of Abercrombie & Fitch high-rise, straight-leg jeans. The tag revealed her size as 23/000—an extremely rare size that sheds light on her challenge.

Ahead of the NFL clash, Owens was seen sharing a sweet moment with Biles on the field. The couple performed their signature handshake, sealed it with a kiss, and capped it off with a playful gesture as Owens gave Simone Biles a light smack on her bottom.
On Instagram, the NFL, ESPN, and other sports publications shared images and footage of the sweet gesture, prompting varied reactions from netizens. One person wrote, "The spank at the end tells me they're gonna last."
Another humorously advised, "Don't do that in public lol," while a third person remarked that the gesture was "more than a handshake." SportsCenter uploaded the full video on Facebook, which led to further comments.
A Facebook user commented, "You see how she looks at him with admiration and love in her eyes. Take notes, ladies." Another person, less approving, said, "I thought that was cute until she put her booty out there for him to slap. You're a world record holder lady and a role model for young ladies. [sic]"

The Chicago Bears shared a reel of the handshake on Facebook, where one person disapproved, "That went from cute to tacky, the man is literally on his job," and another agreed, "Everything was cool until the unnecessary pat on the butt." However, a fan exclaimed, "I love how she's his biggest cheerleader!"
Reacting to Sharing SportsCenter's video of the couple on the field, an X user commented, "I love the handshake soo cute," while another suggested the pair should "get a room!" Meanwhile, someone else focused on a different aspect, noting, "The look of love is in their eyes. Beautiful."
Despite the heartfelt moment, the handshake did not help Owens' team secure a win at the U.S. Bank Stadium. They lost 30-12 to the Minnesota Vikings. This marked the Bears' eighth consecutive loss due to an overmatched offense and a weak defense. Jonathan Owens' team is set to face the Detroit Lions on Sunday, December 22, 2024.
