Gymnastics legend, Simone Biles, has been on hiatus since the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. In the meantime, she has been focusing on her mental health, getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and becoming a Wheaties champion. Oh, and she also got engaged to NFL safety, Jonathan Owens, who she’s been dating since 2020.

When the gymnastics G.O.A.T. first met the footballer, he had no clue about her fame. But they meshed well together right off the bat, and earlier this year, Owens proposed to Biles. They’ve set the wedding date for sometime next year.
