The couple got engaged in February 2022 after meeting on the dating app Raya in March 2020.
Simone Biles has a spouse!
The 26-year-old Olympic gymnast announced her marriage to Jonathan Owens on social media on Saturday. “I do officially owens,” Biles wrote as the Instagram caption for a sweet photo series she posted with the 27-year-old Houston Texans player.
The couple is shown exchanging vows in the pictures in what looks to be a courtroom wedding. Biles looked stunning in a tiered white gown on this particular day, while Owens donned a tan suit.
Owens posted a similar assortment of photos, including some behind-the-scenes glimpses of the couple exchanging vows, on his own Instagram page.
He wrote, “My person, forever,” as the caption for the photo, along with the hashtags “#TheOwens” and “#ItsOfficial.”
The Timeline of Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens’ Relationship
Although Biles and Owens had a near encounter at a 2019 Texans game, the two didn’t formally meet until March 2020 when Biles made the first move on the dating app Raya.
A few months later, the famous athlete made her relationship with Owens public on Instagram when she shared two adorable pictures of the two of them on her page. The couple was cuddled up in the romantic photos, and the football player even planted a tender kiss on her. Biles wrote, “It’s just us,” as the post’s caption.
A month later, Owens wrote, “Now you rockin with a real one,” beside two photos he had taken with Biles on his personal Instagram.
After two years of dating, Biles and Owens then revealed their engagement in a series of Instagram photographs released in February of last year.
Under a gazebo in Houston, Texas, the NFL athlete proposed to his fiancée using an oval-cut diamond ring with a band covered in diamonds, created by jeweler ZoFrost.
Biles wrote “THE EASIEST YES” as the title for a slideshow of pictures from the memorable occasion. “I’m excited to be with you for eternity; you’re everything I could have ever imagined and more! Let’s tie the knot, FIANCÉ.
The day of Biles’ wedding arrives after Owens and she obtained their marriage license on April 15.
The document was issued in Montgomery County, Texas, and Biles proudly displayed it to the pair in an Instagram photo as they got back in their car.
Biles captioned the photo, “Almost time to say ‘I do,'” to which Owens replied, “Soon,” in the comments.
Prior to her wedding, Biles posted on her Instagram Story a number of images from her heavenly-themed bridal shower, which she and her family and friends attended at The Juliana in Houston Heights.
Earlier this year, the newlyweds also commemorated their “boujee” bachelorette party in Belize by wearing light-wash trousers with the moniker “Mrs. Owens” printed across the back pockets.
