American gymnast Simone Biles was recently blown away when her husband, Jonathan Owens, was called one of the sexiest men in sports. On November 8, the NFL player was included in PEOPLE's 2023 Sexiest Man Alive list. Biles could not help but agree with Owens's addition to it.
Fan-favorite couple Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens have been married for the past six months, since May 5, 2023. The gymnast met the love of her life through a dating app, Raya, during the 2020 pandemic.
In fact, according to an interview with the Wall Street Journal in 2021, it was Biles who made the first move by sliding into Owens’s DMs. She found the then-Houston Texans safety ‘cute.’
Recently, Biles could not agree any less when she found Owens’s name in third place on PEOPLE's 2023 Sexiest Man Alive list. She posted the screenshots of the list on her Instagram story and added:
“Easy people…. He’s mine,” Biles wrote.
She also mentioned:
“But he is sexy”
Owens shared the list with other renowned players like Travis Kelce, Neymar Jr., Steph Curry, Shohei Ohtani, and many others.
