Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles celebrated her third wedding anniversary with NFL safety Jonathan Owens on May 6, 2026, marking a personal milestone that reflects their enduring bond. The couple commemorated the occasion with a social media tribute featuring highlights from their 2023 destination wedding in Mexico, including images of them cutting their wedding cake and dancing together.
Biles and Owens first began dating in 2020 after meeting on the dating app Raya during the pandemic. Their relationship blossomed during a time of global uncertainty, leading to an engagement in February 2022 and a legal wedding in 2023. Biles shared her sentiments about their relationship longevity, stating, "3 years down, forever to go 🤍 happy anniversary my husband! these photos are the epitome of our relationship. being in love with you is so fun." This heartfelt message captures their shared experiences and mutual support.
The couple's connection was significantly strengthened during the pandemic, as Biles explained in an interview with Essence. "We were a quarantine couple so we got to know each other on a deeply personal level," she said. "It was like, if we can last through quarantine and seeing each other every day and kind of being stuck with each other in the house, then we can last through anything, and I think that’s why our bond is so strong." This period allowed them to form a solid foundation for their relationship.
Owens has been a steadfast supporter of Biles throughout their relationship, particularly during her decision to prioritize her mental health at the 2020 Olympic Games. His social media posts during that time highlighted his admiration for her resilience and commitment to her well-being. He expressed, "Imma ride with you through whatever baby ❤️ Your strength and courage is unmatched and you inspire me more and more every day SB 🤞🏽." He continued to affirm his support, stating, "You always gonna be my champ baby and don’t you ever forget that, I love you so much and I can’t wait till you come home and I get to see that beautiful smile again. You know I’m always here for you baby ❤️❤️." These messages showcase the depth of their relationship and Owens' role as a primary support system for Biles during high-pressure moments.
Biles, widely regarded as the most decorated gymnast in history, has made headlines for her athletic achievements and for her openness about mental health issues. Her decision to step back during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics to focus on her mental well-being sparked a broader conversation about mental health in sports. Owens' unwavering support during this challenging time has underscored the importance of personal relationships in the lives of professional athletes.
As the couple continues to navigate their respective careers, they have prioritized attending each other's professional events, reinforcing their commitment to one another. Biles has been a frequent attendee at Chicago Bears games, where Owens played before signing a one-year contract with the Indianapolis Colts for the upcoming season. This transition marks a new chapter for Owens, who is set to start his tenure at Lucas Oil Stadium later this year.
Their anniversary celebration drew reactions from various high-profile figures in both the sports and entertainment worlds. Fellow athletes and public figures took to social media to share their congratulations and well-wishes. YouTube personality Adelaine Morin commented, "Congrats!! ❤️❤️❤️," and rapper G-Eazy added, "Congrats y’all." Olympic ice dancer Madison Chock and alpine skier Mikaela Shiffrin also joined in the celebration, with Shiffrin posting, "❤️ congrats you two!!" These messages highlight the couple's positive impact on their peers and the admiration they have earned within their communities.
As Owens prepares for his upcoming NFL season, Biles has not yet confirmed her participation in the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. The uncertainty surrounding her future in competitive gymnastics adds an element of intrigue to her career as she balances her personal life with professional aspirations. Biles, a seven-time Olympic gold medalist with a total of nine Olympic medals, has expressed her commitment to mental health and personal growth, which may influence her decision-making process.
Looking ahead, both Biles and Owens are expected to continue supporting each other as they face the challenges of their respective careers. The couple's strong foundation, built during a unique time in history, positions them well for future endeavors. Biles has emphasized the importance of mutual encouragement in their partnership, stating, "He’s always been so supportive and I support him. We have such a great relationship and I love him." This mutual respect and admiration will likely serve them well as they navigate the pressures of their high-profile lives.
