It looks like, after all the ups and downs since their marriage, destiny has finally brought Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens closer than ever. Since Simone wrapped up her Gold Over America tour, the couple has been practically inseparable. Whether it’s Simone supporting Jonathan’s NFL games in Chicago, enjoying their trips to NYC, or attending Georgia Gymnastics’ NCAA meet, they’ve been living their best life together. But now, they’ve hit a major milestone—they’ve officially been invited to the 2025 Met Gala!

What makes this even more exciting? Simone and Jonathan are the first couple in sports history to get an invite together! Sure, we’ve seen sports couples attend the Met Gala before, but it’s rare for both members to come from the world of sports—Simone with her gymnastics background and Jonathan with his NFL career. What a dream! When do we expect to see this power couple at the Met?

The annual Met Gala is all set to take place at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 5, 2025. The 2025 Met Gala event executes its co-chair duties through Lewis Hamilton from Formula One, Actor Colman Domingo, and A$AP Rocky and Pharrell Williams from music with LeBron James serving as an honorary co-chair. The annual gala theme links with the upcoming spring exhibition Superfine: Tailoring Black Style while establishing the formal dress requirements as “Tailored For You.”

Simone couldn’t contain her excitement! the star gymnast shared the invite on her Instagram story, with the caption, “See you at the Met Gala.” While Simone has graced the event before, in 2021, this will be a first for her husband, Jonathan Owens. The NFL player also took to Instagram to share the Met invite, captioning it, “The Met! A dream come true.” With all that excitement, it’s safe to say that Simone is outshining the NFL WAGs this time!

The Ohio gymnast has joined the NFL WAG realm by supporting her husband Jonathan Owens the Chicago Bears safety through his matches alongside her stylish wardrobe choices. NFL WAGs, Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes are usually supporting their BF Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes but Simone proves she is no less than them. Sure, Taylor has dominated headlines with her stadium appearances and bringing more viewership, but Simone is coming through with something even bigger: an invite to the 2025 Met Gala.

Have an interesting take?

While Taylor, Brittany, Patrick, Kelce, Savannah, and Robert have had their moments in the spotlight but not in this invitation. In doing so, Simone just outshone them all. Sorry Taylor! looks like Simone’s got this one in the bag! But do you remember Taylor, alongside her boyfriend, was also invited to the Met Gala. And she refused!

Taylor & Travis skip the Met but remember when Simone Biles shut it down?

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were invited to the 2024 Met Gala- “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion”- last year but decided to skip it, much to their fans’ dismay. The timing might have been the main reason. As at that time, with Swift’s Eras Tour concert in Paris just days after the May 6 gala.

Taylor Swift last graced the Met Gala carpet in 2016, and as far as Travis Kelce is concerned, he is yet to make his debut. But remember 2021, when Simone Biles withdrew from the Tokyo Olympics due to the twisties but still made waves by attending the Met Gala? It was the talk of the town, and of course, the reason was obvious—Simone was shining bright, even amid a tough moment in her career.

Simone Biles totally stole the show at the 2021 Met Gala, and honestly, it was like she showed up, dropped the mic, and walked away. Her outfit? A two-piece masterpiece made by Area and Athleta, blending athletic style with high-fashion sparkle. Simone was so confident, she flat-out said, “I personally don’t think anybody’s dress is gonna be better than mine,” and let’s be real—she was right. The gown had a Swarovski crystal-encrusted skirt and a star-patterned bodysuit underneath, and oh, it had a detachable train that weighed 88 pounds! Yeah, you read that right—88 pounds! She needed six men to help carry that thing up the stairs.

Simone worked with a huge team to create an outfit. Her hair and makeup were on point. By the time she hit the red carpet, she wasn’t just a gymnast in a fancy dress—she was a full-on fashion icon. Simone just casually proves she can conquer anything—whether it’s the vault or the Met Gala. And will she do it again? Comment below and let us know.
