How did Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens meet?
Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens are engaged now. The champion gymnast and the NFL player had a close encounter during a Houston Texans game in 2019, according to 'People'. But they officially met through a dating app called Raya in March 2020.
The Ohio-born gymnast made the first move. She told the Wall Street Journal that:
"He would say I slid into his DMs. I saw him and I was like, 'Oh, he's pretty cute, so I said hi'. And then I saw that he was in the Houston area, so we started chatting a little bit, and then we hang out a week or two later"
Initially, Owens didn't know much about Simone. He claimed that he didn't know who she was and hadn't heard about her. In an interaction with Texas Monthly in June 2021, the footballer said:
"I just hadn't heard of her, and when I told her that, that's one of the things she liked"
They met at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic and spent a lot of time together because they had a huge amount of time off in that period. On August 3, 2020, Simone Biles made her relationship official to the world through an Instagram post, having a couple of photos along with the caption "It's just us."
