Who is Simone Biles' Husband? Jonathan Owens, the NFL Player Supporting the Gymnast at Paris 2024
Simone Biles is considered by many to be the greatest gymnast of all time, and at the Paris 2024 Olympics, it seems she will be ending her legendary career to focus on her family and her husband. But who is Simone Biles' husband?
Simone Biles is making history at Paris 2024 after winning three golds and a silver, becoming the most decorated U.S. Olympic gymnast of all time and further cementing her legend. By her side in this wave of success are her family, friends, and Jonathan Owens, an American football player.
Jonathan Owens is a player for the Chicago Bears in the NFL and requested permission from his team to accompany her to the Olympics. The story of these two athletes began in a very unusual way: they met on a dating app.
Raya is the name of the app where they met in 2020, and their relationship became official after a social media post by Biles featuring Owens. However, not everything was rosy, as Owens faced a storm of criticism after stating that he did not know who Simone Biles was when they first connected on Raya. These comments were harshly questioned by internet users, considering Biles is one of the greatest athletes in U.S. history.
"It's surprising, isn't it? I'm super excited. I was thrilled to be there, to experience the energy, the culture, and see how everyone reacted to her," Owens said, now excited about his wife's achievements.
