Simone Biles and husband Jonathan Owens’ relationship proves that online dating apps do have success stories.

After meeting on Raya in March 2020, the universe slowed down the professional athletes’ hectic schedules during lockdown at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic. Simone and Jonathan laid the foundation of their relationship rather quickly and said “I do” three years later.

In December 2023, they showed how strong their partnership was after fans slammed Jonathan for claiming to be “the catch” in the relationship. Simone addressed her husband’s comments four months later and defended him against the online haters.

“That really hurt that they were talking about my husband like that,” the legendary gymnast said on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast. “Because for me, it’s like, talk about me all you want, but don’t come for my family, never.”

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens’ Relationship Timeline

2020 – Love Lockdown

The Olympic gold medalist and Chicago Bears safety got to know each other while fully out of the spotlight.

In 2021, Jonathan shared details about the early days of their romance.

“We ended up hanging out right before the pandemic. It was one of the few times in her life where everything was just shut off and she couldn’t do anything,” he told Texas Monthly at the time. “So, we used it to get to know each other — really get to know each other. It created our bond and made it stronger. Now I’m so thankful.”

Jonathan shocked readers when he admitted that he “didn’t know” who Simone was when they met … and she “liked that.”

“Her energy is something. She’s always happy, giggly, bubbly,” the NFL star gushed. “If I’ve had a tough day at the office, I wouldn’t want to take that home to her. Her personality, man …”

“THE EASIEST YES,” the bride-to-be captioned her Instagram announcement. “I can’t wait to spend forever & ever with you, you’re everything I dreamed of and more! let’s get married FIANCÉ @jowens_3.”

The bride wore a beautiful white gown with layered ruffles that formed at the bottom of the garment. The dress featured a plunging neckline and open back, which was exposed as her hair was pulled back in a ponytail.

The groom donned a beige tuxedo.

The pair were surrounded by 144 friends and family members at their gorgeous beachside nuptials.

“Whales were jumping out of the water as our ceremony started,” Simone gushed to Vogue at the time. “Whale season is over by the way. It sprinkled for two minutes after we got married — which is good luck !— and we had a full moon. It was truly the most magical!”
