Simone Biles has gone down under. 

The 28-year-old gymnastics icon recently traveled to Australia, while her husband Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens, 30, has his attention focused on the NFL. 

On Monday, August 25, Biles shared several photos from her trip down under on Instagram, including an adorable photo cuddling a baby kangaroo. The 11-time Olympic champion was dressed in all black as she held the tiny animal wrapped up in blankets. 

A second photo showed the Olympian bundled up in a jacket, while standing on a bridge near the famed Sydney Opera House, while a third showed Biles enjoying a meal with her sister, Adria Biles, and Australian gymnasts Heath Thorpe, and  Clay Stephens.

Simone Biles has been balancing travel with NFL support 

While Biles clearly enjoyed her time in Australia, she's been focused on supporting her husband and his teammates. 

The NFL WAG was all smiles when she stood on the sidelines to support Owens at Bears training camp earlier this month. 

She shared several snaps from the on-field visit with her 12 million followers on Instagram on August 11, captioning the post, "bring your wife to work." In one of the photos the gymnast stood on the field dressed in an all-black ensemble, as Owens kneeled beside her. 

Another snap showed the couple smiling at each other, as Owens towered over Biles. 

A day later, Biles shared another post on IG supporting Owens and the Bears on the field and included a sweet ode to her husband's steady career in the NFL. 

She captioned the post, "so it begins.... year 8," with an orange heart emoji.
