Since gymnastics GOAT Simone Biles announced her engagement to NFL star Jonathan Owens, fans have been eagerly waiting for their wedding. Having dated for almost two years, the two were ready to take the next big step. As the wedding date remains undisclosed, the speculations regarding it stay high!

After years of being with each other, the couple decided to move on their separate ways in 2020. Walking back the lane in an archived interview, Simone is heard talking about her dating life.

Simone never really had the time 

People may think that being famous and in the limelight would have given Simone a lot of dating prospects. But unlike girls her age, Simone never had the luxury of time. Elaborating further, in an archived interview with ET, the Olympic Gold medalist says why “she never quite had time for a boyfriend”.

Because of the very hectic schedule, she always had time constraints. As any other 20-year-old, Simone then said, “At 20 years old, I feel like you should have gone through those things and gone on dates.” However, she hardly got a chance, as she expressed her desire to have gone on one “proper date,” the emotions could be felt. All the young girl wanted was to enjoy life.
