Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens’ relationship has garnered significant attention, with mixed reactions from the public. Initially, when Biles, an Olympic gold medalist, and Owens, a professional football player, became an item, many celebrated their union. However, as more details emerged, doubts about their compatibility surfaced.

Biles dedicated her youth to gymnastics, and by her 20th birthday, she had little experience in dating. In 2017, she started dating Stacy Irvin, a personal trainer hired by her grandmother. Despite their busy schedules, Biles and Irvin maintained a realistic approach to their relationship.

However, they broke up in early 2020, and shortly after, Biles joined a dating app called Rya. On Rya, Biles connected with Owens, who initially claimed he didn’t know who she was, despite evidence suggesting otherwise.

They began messaging, and Biles drove to Houston to meet him. Their relationship progressed quickly, and they moved in together in 2021. Despite Owens’ fluctuating NFL career, their bond seemed strong.

They got engaged on Valentine’s Day 2022 and married in April 2023, with a destination wedding following shortly after. Despite their personal milestones, Owens faced criticism for an interview that appeared to downplay Biles’ achievements and seemed to portray her as overly eager.

Social media users expressed dissatisfaction with how Owens spoke about Biles, which affected her. Biles recently addressed the negativity, defending her relationship and expressing frustration with the public’s treatment of Owens. She emphasized their strong connection, despite ongoing criticisms.

As of July 2024, Owens plans to support Biles at the Olympics, showing commitment to their partnership. The couple continues to navigate their public and personal lives, highlighting the complexities of their high-profile relationship.
