Is Simone Biles' long-distance marriage the ultimate test of love and commitment in sports?

Simone Biles has been feeling the pangs of being the GOAT in her personal life. Owing to her hectic schedule, Biles has found it difficult to find personal time. Tying the knot with NFL star Jonathan Owens in April 2023, the duo has been in a long-distance marriage. One of the major reasons for the same is that both Owens and Biles are busy in their respective professional fields. 

Previously, the Olympic gold medalist has expressed her sadness on the matter, saying, “Long distance isn’t easy.” However, she also ensured that the support for her husband remained intact. Thus, Biles mentioned how she was super proud of the work that Owens was doing at the moment. After all, landing up with a lucrative Chicago Bears deal is no child’s play.

However, despite all the struggles, the love between the duo has always reigned supreme. Both Owens and Biles have always managed to take time out and turn up for each other’s performances. And continuing their love affair, the duo were at it once again. In a recently uploaded story on Instagram, Biles and Owens updated their fans about their latest date night.
