Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are one of the most adorable couples in the sports world. The gymnast and the NFL player have been married since April 2023 and have been each other’s biggest fans ever since. They recently shared a cute photo of them kissing in the snow, showing their love and excitement for Owens’ upcoming game. Here’s how they met, how they balance their busy schedules, and how they cheer each other on.
Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens: A Match Made in Raya
Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens first connected through the dating app Raya in March 2020, right before the coronavirus pandemic hit. Owens, who was then playing for the Houston Texans, admitted that he did not know who Biles was at first. He told Texas Monthly that this was one of the things that Biles liked about him, as he treated her like a normal person and not a celebrity. The lockdown gave them a chance to get to know each other better, without any distractions or obligations. Owens said that it was one of the few times in Biles’ life where everything was just shut off and she couldn’t do anything. He added that this created their bond and made it stronger.
After two years of dating, Owens popped the question to Biles in February 2022. He proposed to her with a stunning diamond ring at a romantic location, surrounded by roses and candles. Biles said yes and shared the happy news on her Instagram, writing, “Forever yes.” They tied the knot in April 2023, in a beautiful ceremony in Texas. Biles wore a gorgeous white gown and Owens wore a navy suit. They exchanged vows in front of their family and friends, and celebrated their love with a dance party and a cake cutting.
A Supportive Partnership
Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens have been supportive of each other’s careers, even when they have to be apart. Biles, who is the most decorated gymnast of all time, had to compete in several events this year, including the Olympics and the World Championships. Owens, who signed with the Green Bay Packers ahead of the 2023-2024 season, had to travel with his team for the games. They managed to make their long-distance relationship work, by staying in touch and cheering each other on. Biles often posts photos and videos of her watching Owens’ games, wearing his jersey and shouting his number. Owens also posts messages of encouragement and admiration for Biles, calling her his inspiration and his queen.
Biles told reporters that she realized that she can still be a wife and a professional athlete, and that she does not have to choose between them. She said that she is being intentional outside of the gym, making time for her husband, her family, and her vacations. She said that before, she was married to gymnastics, but now she feels like she is attached to so many other things and gymnastics is just a part of her day.
Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are a perfect example of a couple who support each other’s dreams and goals, while also making time for their love and happiness. We wish them all the best in their future endeavors.
