Simone Biles, often regarded as one of the greatest Olympians of all time, had a unique love story with her now-husband Jonathan Owens. The couple connected on a dating app, and despite Owens admitting he didn\u2019t know who Biles was until four years after her first Olympic medal, they\u2019ve become a strong and supportive pair.<\/p>\n
In an interview for the podcast \u201cThe Pivot,\u201d Owens mentioned that he wasn\u2019t familiar with Biles when they initially met up, citing a lack of exposure to gymnastics during the 2016 Olympics due to his college schedule. This revelation sparked some controversy, as fans found it surprising that it took him several years to recognize Biles, considering her status as a gymnastics icon.<\/p>\n
Another comment from Owens, asserting that \u201cmen are the catch,\u201d also attracted criticism. However, the couple remains unfazed by the internet\u2019s reaction, sharing posts on social media expressing their unbothered attitude.<\/p>\n
Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens met in 2020 on the dating app Raya. Despite Owens not recognizing Biles initially, they matched and started texting. Their relationship flourished, leading to their wedding on April 22, 2023, at Harris County Courthouse in Houston, followed by a celebration in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.<\/p>\n
Biles, a highly decorated gymnast, holds the record for the most Olympic and Worlds competition medals, totaling 37. She has eight Olympic medals, including four gold. In the 2021 Olympics, she withdrew due to mental health concerns, particularly the \u201ctwisties,\u201d a dangerous mental block in gymnastics.<\/p>\n
As for their financial profiles, Biles generates income primarily through sponsorships, with an estimated net worth of around $16 million. Owens, an NFL safety currently with the Packers, has a projected net worth of $5 million, with earnings from his contracts and a signing bonus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
