The couple officially met for the first time via dating app Raya in March 2020 and tied the knot on April 22, 2023, after getting engaged in February 2022. Both have been traveling extensively given their professional engagements, and even though the newlyweds are unable to be physically present, they are making considerable effort to make things special from afar.

The couple started regularly hanging out in the Houston area after they first in March 2020. It was shortly after that the pandemic announcement suspended all athletic meets, including the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. This worked in the favour of the couple who got enough time to spend together and really get to know each other. 

In a February 2022 interview with Today, the NFL rising star reflected on their relationship, “We just kind of started hanging out more and more and you start to want to see a person… I started to want to see her more.” “My dog really loved her.” Owens highlighted.
