Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are one of the most celebrated couples in the sports world. The Olympic gold medalist gymnast and the NFL safety have been married since April 2023, after getting engaged in 2020.
According to People, Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens first connected on a dating app in March 2020, just before the coronavirus pandemic hit. Biles said that Owens was unaware of her fame and achievements at first, which she found refreshing. “He would say I slid into his DMs, I saw him and I was like, ‘Oh, he’s pretty cute,’ so I said hi … and then I saw that he was in the Houston area,” she told the Wall Street Journal.
The pair started texting and FaceTiming, and they hit it off right away and became official in June 2020. Biles confirmed their relationship on Instagram in August 2020, sharing a photo of them cuddling with the caption “It’s just us”. They have been supportive of each other’s careers ever since.

They also shared their engagement photoshoots, bridal shower, and wedding ceremonies on social media, giving fans a glimpse into their romantic journey.
