Fortunately for Biles, her suspicions turned out to be vague, as the kid in question was Owens’ nephew. Speaking about her initial impression of Owens, the American gymnast queen described him as “cute”. She also shared details about how Owens’ light eyes and dimples made her feel weak on her knees. Thus, such a story was bound to bloom. And just after their first meeting, Biles decided to marry her man.
