Simone Biles Announces Her Marriage to Jonathan Owens
Get ready for some heartwarming news! Simone Biles, the incredibly talented and renowned US Olympic gymnast, recently shared her joyous news of marriage on social media. The 26-year-old athlete delighted her fans by posting a series of romantic photos featuring herself and her new husband, Jonathan Owens, who plays for the Houston Texans.
In the snapshots from their courthouse wedding, Biles looked absolutely radiant in a stunning tiered white gown, while Owens looked dapper in a tan suit. The heartfelt exchange of vows captured the intimacy and happiness of their special moment.
Owens also took the opportunity to express his love for Biles on his own Instagram page through a series of behind-the-scenes shots. He lovingly referred to her as “my person, forever.”
A Love Story that Captivated Hearts
According to reports, Biles and Owens first connected through the private dating app, Raya, back in March 2020. Their connection blossomed into a beautiful relationship, and a few months later, Biles, a seven-time Olympic medalist, confirmed their commitment to each other by sharing adorable photos of the couple on her Instagram page.
Captioning the post, Biles simply wrote, “It’s just us,” showcasing their beautiful togetherness.
Owens reciprocated by posting his own heartwarming photos, captioned with, “Now you rockin’ with a real one.”
A Journey to Forever
After two incredible years of dating, Owens decided to take the plunge and proposed to Biles under a picturesque gazebo in Houston, Texas. The stunning engagement ring, designed by renowned jewelers ZoFrost, featured a breathtakingly beautiful diamond.
The couple officially announced their engagement last February by sharing a series of delightful photos on Instagram.
A Serendipitous Love Connection
In a delightful twist, when they first met, Owens wasn’t aware of Biles’ incredible athletic achievements and her status as a member of the US Olympic team. Surprisingly, his lack of familiarity turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
In an interview with Texas Monthly, Owens revealed, “I didn’t know who she was. I just hadn’t heard of her, and when I told her that, that’s one of the things she liked.”
Their paths initially crossed during a Texans game in 2019, but they officially met through a chance encounter on social media.
Recalling their first interaction, Biles shared in an interview with Wall Street Journal Magazine, “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, so we started chatting a little bit, and then we went to hang out a week or two later.”
Interestingly, Biles’ younger sister, Adria, played a role in bringing the couple closer. Adria noticed their frequent video calls and decided to arrange a meeting by inviting Jonathan to a family lake house. The Biles family welcomed Jonathan with open arms, and soon he became a cherished part of their family gatherings.
Jonathan fondly reflects on their relationship, saying, “We ended up hanging out right before the pandemic. It was one of the few times in her life when everything was just shut off and she couldn’t do anything. So we used it to get to know each other — really get to know each other. It created our bond and made it stronger.”
Congratulations and Best Wishes!
“It was a rare period in her life when everything came to a halt, leaving her with no distractions or obligations. We took advantage of that time to truly connect and understand each other. It deepened our bond and solidified our relationship.”
Join us in extending our warmest congratulations to Simone and Jonathan on their beautiful marriage! May their lives be filled with endless love and happiness.
