We shouldn’t be surprised, then, that Simone Biles and her partner embody couple goals in their relationship as well.
She has achieved so much in her life as an athlete, leader, mental health advocate, and on and on. She has been dating NFL player Jonathan Owens, 24, since March 2020, and the two frequently appear together on social media.
Despite their busy lives, here is everything we know about Owens and Biles’ sweet romance, from how they met to how they managed to stay together despite their hectic schedules to how he supported her during the Olympics in Tokyo.
According to Biles, Owens got down on one knee in 2022! In a series of heartwarming photos of Owens getting down on one knee, she wrote on social media, “THE EASIEST YES.”
In the caption, she continued, “If I could spend the rest of my life with you, I would. You are everything I wished for and more! Come on, FIANCÉ, let’s get hitched.” Close-up shots of her engagement ring from Owens were also shared by the athlete.
In response to the post, the football star wrote, “I’m ready to spend the rest of my life with you.” Biles “really had no clue what was coming,” he said in one of the Instagram photos he posted from the joyous occasion.

They met on Raya.
Using a dating app really does work! Raya is the celebrity dating app that Biles revealed to Glamour in early 2020. Owens, surprisingly, had no idea who had won the gold medal at the time.
“He would say I slid into his DMs,” Biles said in a Wall Street Journal interview. To begin with, “I saw him and I was like Oh, he is pretty cute,” so I introduced myself… and then, seeing that he was in the Houston area at the same time, we started chatting. A few weeks later, I met him for drinks.”
Her sister Adria, who saw how well Simone Biles and Jonathan got along over FaceTime, stepped in to arrange an invitation for Jonathan to join the family on a vacation. Owens began attending weekly dinners with the Biles family not long after that.

Owens plays football for the Houston Texans.
A native of St. Louis, MO, the 25-year-old attended Missouri Western State University, where he competed in football.
The Arizona Cardinals signed him as a safety in 2018 and he made his NFL debut that year. Houston Texans signed him in 2020, and he currently lives there as does Biles, who was raised in the state.

Dogs were another common interest that brought the couple together. A bulldog named Zeus is Owens’s best friend while @thebilesfrenchies has two French bulldogs, Lilo and Rambo, whom you can follow on Instagram. Now, all of their puppies are best friends, according to Owen.
They don’t hold back when it comes to expressing their feelings for one another.
As of August 2020, Biles and Owens have been posting a steady stream of couple photos, including sweet selfies, vacation photos, and anniversary and birthday tributes.

Both have been outspoken in their press interviews about the other. Owens elaborated on the significance of their meeting’s timing in an interview with Texas Monthly. “We met up right before the pandemic,” he said. “For the first time in her life, she was completely unable to do anything.
As a result, we used it as a way to get to know each other better. It forged our relationship and strengthened it. Thanks to you, I’m overjoyed right now.”
He went on to say, “They were meant to be together. In my opinion, there is no one better to be my partner in this endeavor. She’s so affectionate because she loves me. That is one of my favorite things ever. And seeing how much effort she puts into everything is enthralling.”
