Instead of her typical large family celebrations, Biles says the couple will have a quiet Christmas together in Chicago, where Owens plays for the Bears.
"Honestly, just the two of us. Nothing crazy. We're going on vacation next year, so we kind of didn't even do a Christmas this year,” she told Olympics. “Honestly, just relaxing. And then, we have to come back downtown to report to the hotel. So, we'll be with the team,” she added.
The 23-time world champion has been a consistent presence at Chicago games since completing her Gold Over America tour in early November, including December 22, 34-17 defeat to the Detroit Lions.
