In August 2020, four-time Olympic gold medal gymnast Simone Biles announced her relationship with Jonathan Owens, a safety for the Houston Texans. They confirmed their engagement in February 2022 and tied the knot in an intimate City Hall ceremony in April 2023. The couple later had a second wedding in Cabo San Lucas in May 2023.
Jonathan Owens, 28, hails from Missouri and began his football career in college and high school. Both Biles and Owens are currently based in Texas, with Biles training at the World Champions Center in Spring and Owens playing for the Houston Texans. Biles has been liking Owens’ Instagram posts since November 2019, showing her early interest in him.
Owens, a Cancer, is known to be very close with his mother and older sister. He has been a strong supporter of Biles throughout her gymnastics career, especially during her second Olympic Games. Despite not knowing who Biles was initially, Owens was captivated by her work ethic and the impact she had on people.
The couple has shared many sweet moments on social media, celebrating birthdays, supporting each other during major events, and sharing romantic posts. They even have friendly arguments over who is the better athlete, with Biles claiming gymnastics is harder. They both supported each other’s careers, with Biles attending Owens’ games and Owens taking time off work to watch Biles compete in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Despite facing backlash for his comments about being “the catch” in their marriage, Owens continued to show his love and support for Biles. In a recent interview, Biles addressed the controversy, defending Owens and expressing her love for him. She shared how hurtful it was to see the hate directed at him and emphasized that he is a kind and supportive partner.
Owens even got a tattoo of an “S” on his ring finger as a permanent tribute to Biles. The couple continues to share their love story with the world, showing that their relationship is built on love, respect, and unwavering support. Their journey from dating publicly to getting married has been filled with joy, celebrations, and moments of togetherness, solidifying their bond as a couple.
