Who is Simone Biles’ Fiance Jonathan Owens? Their Relationship Timeline
- Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens got engaged in February 2022 after dating for around two years.
- While Biles is an Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast, her fiance plays for Houston Texans in the NFL.
Simone Biles’ Fiance Jonathan Owens is an NFL safety
Simone Biles’ fiance Jonathan Owens is an NFL player.
He went to Christian Brothers College High School where he played high school football. Following that, he attended Missouri Western State University where he played at the college level and won the title of Male Student-Athlete of the Year in his final season.
After going undrafted in the 2018 NFL Draft, the safety joined the Arizona Cardinals but injured his knee before his rookie season began.
He told News-Press Now in July 2019:
“I’m just lying on the ground crying because I don’t even know how that works. I’m thinking, I came all the way here and got hurt.”
He was placed on injured reserve and then waived in August 2019. However, he was soon signed to the Houston Texans’ practice squad in September 2019, and eventually made it to the main roster in December 2021.
Simone is a big fan of his and attends most of his games.
They first met through a dating app
Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens met in 2020 on the dating app Raya, with Biles making the first move by saying hi after seeing his profile.
She talked about how she slid into her DMS to WSJ Magazine in July 2021:
“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 went to hang out a week or two later.”
They started exchanging texts and eventually met up in person. Their relationship progressed slowly until Biles’ sister invited Owens to join them on a trip to a lake house, after which they started spending more time together and got closer.
The pandemic also allowed them to really get to know each other, and as Owens himself said, it made their bond stronger.
He told in a June 2021 interview with Texas Monthly,
“It was one of the few times in her life where everything was just shut off and she couldn’t do anything. So we used it to get to know each other — really get to know each other. It created our bond and made it stronger. Now I’m so thankful.”
Despite Biles’ success in gymnastics, Owens admits he didn’t know who she was at first:
“I didn’t know who she was. I just hadn’t heard of her, and when I told her that, that’s one of the things she liked.”
