Simone Biles, the trailblazing gymnast, recently married NFL player Jonathan Owens in an intimate courthouse ceremony. The couple, who first connected on a dating app where Biles made the initial move, joyfully shared their wedding photos online. Biles showcased her simple yet elegant $120 dress paired with $35 shoes.
Despite the couple’s happiness, Biles faced online criticism for her hair, with some labeling it as “unkempt.” In response, Biles calmly reminded her critics of the challenges of maintaining hair in Houston’s humid climate, making it clear that the comments did not faze her.
Beyond her wedding, Biles continues to excel in her athletic career, having made a remarkable comeback at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Despite her incredible achievements, including multiple gold medals, Biles encouraged fans to allow athletes to enjoy their victories rather than immediately questioning what’s next.
Her journey to success has been marked by resilience, overcoming a challenging childhood to become one of the most decorated gymnasts in history. Biles’ story of perseverance extends beyond gymnastics, as she has also been a vocal advocate for mental health and has spoken out against the abuse scandal that shook USA Gymnastics.
The newlyweds, who plan to have a larger destination wedding in the future, are currently enjoying their love and the support of fans who celebrate their union and Biles’ unwavering strength in the face of adversity.
