Simone Biles chose love over societal norms—Isn't it time we all did the same?

The Gold Over America Tour is in full swing and is already becoming a post-Olympic gymnastics after-party! Fresh off a jaw-dropping performance in Denver, the gymnastics squad is now heading to Minneapolis, ready to light up the Target Center on September 27, 2024. The GOAT herself, Simone Biles, and her crew are pulling out all the stops, making sure every moment on stage is just as electric as the last. But it’s not just about gravity-defying flips—Simone’s bringing plenty of personality too! Between routines, there’s always some fun banter and playful moments, keeping the crowd entertained. And speaking of fun, Biles let fans in on a cheeky dating secret from her single years!

This Olympic superstar has had quite a unique love life—she’s only been on one date, and that was way back in 2017! She told ET, “I have never had a boyfriend in my life. At 20 years old, I feel like you should have gone through those things and gone on dates. I have been on like, maybe one proper date. Not even.” When her friend Sasha playfully asked how that date went, Simone chuckled and said, “I think it went OK.” And now, this fun convo is popping up again while she’s chatting it up during her awesome GOAT tour.

The host noted, “Last time that you and I spoke you had said you had only been on one proper date in your whole life ‘now is it true you haven’t been on a proper date is you went on one in your life.'” And Biles smiled and said, “And now I’m married.” The host was super excited, saying, “Honestly, I’m so proud of you!”

But when the question of a second date popped up, she couldn’t help but giggle and tease, “I’m not gonna say any more!” And while she kept the identity of that lucky guy under wraps, it doesn’t matter now—Simone’s found her happily ever after with Jonathan Owens! And their love story is straight out of a modern-day rom-com!
