usmagazine.com:

They do! Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens have tied the knot after three years of dating.“I do,” Biles, 26, captioned wedding snaps via Instagram on Saturday, April 22.

She added white heart emojis around the phrase “officially Owens.”Ahead of their wedding, the gymnast jetted off to Belize for her bachelorette party in February.

Biles gave a glimpse of her “bride and boujee”-themed bash via social media. The football safety even sent his then-fiancée a Chanel purse as a “sweet surprise.”The Olympic gold medalist met the Houston Texans player, 27, and confirmed their relationship in August 2020, but quietly began dating four months earlier after meeting on the dating app Raya. “I didn’t know who she was,” Owens told Texas Monthly in June 2021. “I just hadn’t heard of her, and when I told her that, that’s one of the things she liked.”After the pandemic pushed the 2020 Summer Olympics back one year, Biles had a break in her hectic training schedule that allowed the couple to focus on getting to know one another. “It was one of the few times in her life where everything was just shut off and she couldn’t do anything,” the Missouri native explained. “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 stood by the world champion’s side throughout the Tokyo Olympics, sharing a message of support on social media because he couldn’t cheer her on from the stands. “Imm ride with you through whatever baby,” he wrote in July 2021, following Biles’ withdrawal from the Team USA’s all-around finals and individual all-around competition.He continued: “Your strength and courage is unmatched and you inspire me more and more everyday SB
