In Simone Biles’ and Jonathan Owens’ story, before Cabo San Lucas, there was Houston. The Texan metropolis witnessed the ‘first’ half of the marriage ceremony that the couple planned for a year. However, the entire experience seems to have satisfied Simone so much that she expressed the wish to tie the knot with JO again and again. On her first anniversary of becoming Mrs. Owens officially, the 27-year-old champion relieved the moment wholeheartedly.
April 22 last year was the courthouse wedding ceremony of Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens before flying to Cabo to perform the rest of the ritual. So, for Simone Biles, the auspicious day holds a distinct place. She let that out through an IG post, commemorating her first wedding anniversary. The 7x Olympic medalist penned, “I wish I could marry you a million more times! I love you so much!” The day was the culmination of a long-cherished relationship that started through a conversation on the dating app, Raya, on the brink of the Pandemic in 2020.

The couple, Jonathan Owens, in particular, endured an enormous chunk of criticism for his playful comments on Simone Biles. Simone also had her share for her comparison with Caitlin Stark. But on each of those occasions, the couple stood with each other.
Even when fans hounded JO for his debatable ‘catch’ comment, Simone doused the fire by normalizing the status quo. Jonathan also added his effort to stay beside his wife despite the exercise camp from the Chicago Bears. Their fun moment in the Houston basketball arena or Simone’s practice schedule attested to Jonathan’s commitment to his wife. May they remain in this way forever- here’s our wish for them!
