Simone Biles, the best cheerleader girl-friend

In a match between Houston Texans and Los Angeles Chargers, Jonathan Owens made a key contribution to his team’s victory. He pulled in his first NFL interception, a great milestone in his career.

Biles took on to social media to celebrate the man of the hour with a lot of cheering. Owens went emotional over the fact that his mom and Biles watched him make one of the best performances of his career. He said, “My mom, she’s been with me every step of the way, and just having those two in the stands supporting me, I can’t describe the feeling.”

Simone made the first move

Did you know it was Simone who made the first move?  “He would say I slid into his DMs,” she said. Owens and Biles officially met via a dating app Raya in March 2020 at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Biles saw him and thought, “He’s pretty cute,” and started with a friendly hi! Biles also got to know that he was in the Houston area, so they started chatting a little. After a week or two, they began to hang out together.

The pandemic phase was a blessing in disguise. It gave them the privilege of spending quality time with each other which is otherwise typically impossible for athletes with their busy schedules. “So we used it to get to know each other — really get to know each other. It created our bond and made it stronger. Now I’m so thankful.” Owens said in an interview.
