In August 2020, four-time Olympic gold medal gymnast Simone Biles let the world know she had a new boyfriend: 28-year-old Jonathan Owens, a safety for the Houston Texans. The two cuddled up together in photos shared on both her and his Instagrams. “it’s just us 🤎,” she captioned the shots.
In February 2022, she confirmed that they’re getting married. “THE EASIEST YES,” she captioned her Instagram full of engagement photos.
The initial romance confirmation came shortly after Biles posted a birthday tribute to Owens at the end of July and weeks after Biles confirmed in a July 2020 Vogue interview that she broke up with her boyfriend, gymnast Stacey Ervin Jr. (whom she dated for nearly three years) in early March 2020. “It’s hard being young and having that long of a relationship and then ending it,” she told Vogue. “But it was for the best.”
On Aug. 6, 2021, Biles, who had recently returned home from Tokyo, posted a photo with Owens while at NFL practice with him.
