Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are a match made in world-class athlete heaven.
The Olympic gold medalist and the NFL player met via the dating app Raya in March 2020.
Though the coronavirus pandemic delayed the 2020 Olympics, the break in Biles’ training schedule allowed the pair to get closer. “It was one of the few times in her life where everything was just shut off and she couldn’t do anything,” Owens explained. “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.”
The couple tied the knot in April 2023 and one year later, Owens was in the crowd cheering on his wife at the 2024 Paris Olympics. In February 2026, the pair made a surprise appearance at the Winter Olympics in Italy, further cementing their sports-loving relationship.
