“Got To Be Fake”: Unaware About Simone Biles, Jonathan Owens Had Doubts About Her Dating Profile When They Met

The greatest athlete on the mats, Simone Biles, was an unknown entity to her NFL safety husband Jonathan Owens over three years back. The athletic power couple attended a December 2019 Texans home game unaware of their fate, and it was only later that Owens was in one of Biles’ pictures. A few months later, they swiped each other on a dating app called Raya, and Biles first slid into his DMs.

Now, three years later, well settled in their professional career, the duo appeared on a podcast revealing some old secrets. Throwing light on how they bumped into each other and what happened next, Owens confessed to not knowing Biles at first.

Simone Biles—an unknown name story for Jonathan Owens

While you’d often hear amusing stories of how couples meet, well, Biles and Owens’ is no different. In a recently posted ‘The Pivot Podcast‘ on YouTube called Green Bay Packers’ starter Owens as a guest and posted the video captioned—”Jonathan Owens Undrafted to Starter, NFL Playoff Push, Wife Simone Biles & Mental Health.” When one of the hosts asked, “How in the hell did you pull Simone Biles?,” Owens took charge saying, “I’mma tell you organic story man.”

Jonathan confessed to having lived about seven months in Houston, single at the time when his friend suggested the app. Early on, he got many likes and unaware, he said, “this got to be fake like I don’t know just I didn’t know who she was at the time but like the first thing that I saw,” on being liked by Biles on the app.

Owens was on a mission to clarify and leave no room for doubts, he explained, “I’m like okay she got to be good if I promise you I’m I’m a real life story when she won the Olympics I was in college and we didn’t have NBC we didn’t have Olympics Chanel and we’re in Camp.” “So I never would have had a moment to where I would have watched,” he finally rested his case. Fast forwards to now, their relationship timeline has travelled far ahead than they imagined.
