However, things changed when her relationship with the WWE superstar made headlines during her professional gap year in 2017. Their relationship lasted for three years until they finally broke it off leaving behind a sour taste.
However, over time the athletes had grown familiar and shared close bonds with each other’s friends. Married to NFL safety Jonathan Owens, the seven-time Olympic medalist is living her triumphant dream on the mats this year. As the Owens were busy with their professional duties an unexpected wish came from her former partner for Simone’s childhood bestie’s big day.
