Simone Biles, while steadfast in her disposition, had her doubts about Jonathan Owens initially! The power couple of the sporting realm, Owens and Biles’ love affair, dates back to the pandemic era. While the world was bracing for an unknown enemy, love was brewing like a phoenix amidst the ashes for Biles and Owens. It was Simone Biles who came across the NFL star in 2020 in a dating app. Finding Owens cute, the US gymnast sensation dropped him a message. However, Owens initially was not aware of Biles’ antics. 

But as fate would have it, the duo soon began to bond well. In August 2020, Biles and Owens, for the first time, posted their pictures on Instagram. After dating for three years, Biles and Owens tied the knot in a private ceremony in April 2023. Interestingly, even before their entire love story transpired, Simone Biles had a hilarious doubt about her NFL husband.

Biles and Owens met for the first time at Owens’ home due to the lockdown restraints. Soon after coming back from her outing, Biles startled her family by announcing, “I’m gonna marry him.” However, when asked, the US gymnast could properly justify her decision. She said, “I don’t know why I said that. I don’t know what it is, but I just felt something. It just like felt different.” 

Surely, Biles did not regret her decision. Owens has been found, on many occasions, publicly going gaga over his better half.
