However, it was the caption that caught everyone’s eyes. Biles wrote “oops I forgot to tell y’all that we’ve been dating for more than a year so happy past 1 year to the best thing that’s ever happened to you: ME”

Replying to the post optimistically Jonathan said,” Time flies when your having fun. To many more with you baby.” Biles also went to watch her boyfriend play and posted a story on her Instagram. Showcasing her love, she mentioned Owens jersey number ‘#36’ with a heart.
