Per reports, the engaged couple first crossed paths via the dating app Raya in March 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, Biles had just ended her relationship with fellow gymnast Stacey Ervin Jr.

Owens, an NFL Player, said he had no idea who Biles was when they chatted on the dating app. "I just hadn't heard of her, and when I told her that, that's one of the things she liked," he shared.

The lovebirds began spending time together amid the pandemic, thanks to the postponement of the 2020 Olympics. The pair used the lockdown to bond and get to know each other better than their busy careers would have allowed them to.

By August 2020, Biles and Owens went Instagram official, and the duo has remained unstoppable ever since. The pair never shied away from serenading fans with numerous PDA pics. They also never failed to celebrate milestones and festivities with shoutouts on social media.

When Biles went to Japan for the Olympics, Owens was her biggest cheerleader, shouting her praises through it all even when she bowed out from the competition due to mental health challenges.

Biles' engagement comes months after she hinted at quitting her thriving gymnastics career to preserve her "peace." The 24-year-old has been nothing but candid about the mental health struggles that come with the game.
