Simone Biles in dramatic new look as Olympic legend hits CMA red carpet – but husband Jonathan Owens is missing

Biles was on the red carpet outside Bridgestone Arena and revealed a new look.

She rocked a shorter haircut and wore a silver dress along with silver and red earrings.

Owens didn’t attend the festivities.

The 29-year-old plays for the Chicago Bears as he didn’t take the one-hour, 30-minute flight to the Nashville event.

Owens attended the Bears’ practice on Wednesday.

His team will be at home in Week 12 when they face the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

Biles did attend Owens’ Bears’ game last weekend against his former team, the Green Bay Packers.

Biles’ appearance at the CMA Awards comes after her legendary Paris Olympics run.

She won three gold medals and a silver at the event.

The performance brought Biles’ Olympic medal count to 11, with seven being gold, making her the most decorated US gymnast in history.

She met Owens in 2020 on a celebrity dating app and have been a couple ever since.

Biles was engaged to the NFL star in 2022 and they got married last year.

The couple now enjoy a new $3 million mansion in Texas.

She has yet to reveal her intentions for the 2028 Olympics which take place in Los Angeles.

Biles, who would be 31 in 2028, was the oldest member of the Team US gymnastics in the summer.

She just finished headlining a nearly two-month Gold Over America Tour, a gymnastics tour that made stops across the country performing for fans and displaying their skills.

Biles has previously opened up about her struggles with her long-distance relationship with Owens.

“As soon as we got married, we’ve been long-distance the whole time, and now I’m doing this tour,” she said.

“So, it’s like, when are we going to see each other?”

Minecraft trailer blue cube decoded: What do the symbols represent?

MINECRAFT is one of the most popular games of all time and it will soon be adapted into a Hollywood blockbuster starring Jack Black.

The trailer for the film was released on November 19, 2024, and fans have an intriguing theory about the mysterious blue cubes featured in the video.

A Minecraft movie

There have been plans to create a Minecraft movie since 2014.

Those plans resulted in the soon-to-be released A Minecraft Movie, which will star Jack Black, Jennifer Coolidge, Jason Momoa and Danielle Brooks.

The story will follow Jason’s character and his three friends, who are sucked into the Overworld.

The Overworld is a bizarre land which is the central location in the video game Minecraft.

Jack Black will be playing a character called Steve, whose mysterious blue cube has sparked rampant speculation about the film’s plot.

Mystery blue cubes

Redditor tokaygecko23 believes he may have decoded the text on the mysterious cubes.

The social media user managed to match the symbols to letters of the English alphabet, when he realized that they were written with the standard galactic alphabet.

Unfortunately, the letters didn’t form any words at first but several other redditors eventually made another discovery.

When read in a spiral, the letters form a message.

The message reads: “Iron, Gold, Stone, Gate, Head, Home.”

Fans of the video game believe this is a list of instructions for Jack Black’s character.

They believe he will need to build a “gate” using the materials “iron”, “gold” and “stone”.

The redditors believe this will allow his character to return to his home in the real world.

American Pie and White Lotus actress Jennifer Coolidge will star in the Minecraft film

A theatrical release

Fans can catch the Minecraft movie when it finally lands in theatres across America on April 4, 2025.

It was initially slated to be released on May 24, 2019, but was delayed until 2022.

However, the COVID 19 pandemic forced Warner Bros. Pictures to delay the film until 2025.

Fans can breathe easy now that the film has an initial release date, but there is sure to be even more speculation about the movie as fans count down the days until the movie debuts.
