Simone Biles recently revealed surprising details about her relationship with NFL player Jonathan Owens. Biles, a world-famous gymnast, initially attracted Owens’ interest because of her large social media following. Owens admitted he didn’t recognize Biles at first and only became intrigued after noticing her popularity online. Despite her high-profile career, Owens’s unfamiliarity with her was genuine, and their connection grew stronger during the COVID-19 pandemic when they had more time to bond.

The couple met in 2019 at a Texans game but officially connected on the dating app Raya in March 2020. Biles reached out to Owens, finding him attractive and starting a conversation. Their relationship blossomed during the pandemic, which allowed them to spend more time together and build a solid foundation.

They made their relationship public on Instagram in August 2020, and Biles described Owens as a supportive and loving partner. Owens proposed in February 2022, and they married in April 2023 in a courthouse ceremony, followed by a grand wedding in Mexico.

However, Owens faced criticism after joking in a podcast that he didn’t know who Biles was initially. This sparked public backlash, with some accusing him of undermining Biles’s achievements. Biles defended her husband, expressing hurt over the negative comments and emphasizing that their relationship is built on mutual respect and support.

Since their marriage, the couple has navigated the challenges of a long-distance relationship due to Owens’s NFL career with the Green Bay Packers. Despite the distance, they remain each other’s biggest supporters, often sharing their affection and admiration on social media.

Their relationship, marked by genuine connection and resilience, continues to inspire as they manage their lives under public scrutiny while maintaining a strong bond.
