Jonathan Owens is an NFL player who has made headlines not only for his athletic career but also for being the husband of Olympic gymnast Simone Biles. Owens, 29, is a safety who has played for teams including the Houston Texans and, more recently, the Chicago Bears, signing a two-year deal in March 2023.
Owens and Biles met on the dating app Raya in March 2020, during the COVID-19 lockdown. Initially, Owens did not recognize Biles, which she found endearing. They quickly connected and started dating, with Biles later revealing that she was the one who initiated the conversation.
Their Relationship and Marriage
The couple made their relationship Instagram official in August 2020. In February 2022, Owens proposed to Biles, and she shared the joyful moment on Instagram with the caption, 'THE EASIEST YES.' They got married in an intimate courthouse ceremony in Houston on April 22, 2023, followed by a more lavish wedding in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on May 6, 2023.
Their wedding celebrations were marked by beautiful portraits and heartfelt messages. Biles wore a stunning four-tiered white gown, while Owens donned a tan suit. The couple has been open about their love and support for each other, often sharing sweet moments on social media.
Supporting Each Other's Careers
Both Owens and Biles have been ardent supporters of each other's careers. Owens has been a constant presence at Biles' gymnastics competitions, including the Paris Olympics, where he proudly wore her new gold medal. Biles has also been a regular at Owens' NFL games, often sharing moments of affection on the sidelines.
In a recent instance, Owens surprised Biles during her gymnastics tour, and she has also been spotted kissing him on the sideline before a Bears game. These public displays of affection highlight the strong bond and mutual support they share.
Personal and Professional Growth
The couple has also been open about their personal growth and the impact they have on each other. Biles has credited Owens with encouraging her to seek therapy and confront her emotions, while Owens has praised Biles for her positive energy and support. This mutual support has been a cornerstone of their relationship.
In a recent gesture, Owens got a cursive 'S' tattooed on his ring finger in honor of Biles, just before the Paris Olympics, showing his deep commitment and love for her.
