Simone Biles On Long Distance With Husband Jonathon Owens: 'Isn't Easy'

Gymnast and seven-time Olympic medalist Simone Biles and NFL safety Jonathan Owens got married in April in Cabo, Mexico.

The two first met through a dating app called Raya in 2020 after Biles slid into Owens' DMs. Their relationship took the next step after Biles's sister invited the NFL player to join them on a family vacation. Two years later, Owens got down on one knee and proposed on Valentine's Day.

Now that the NFL season is underway with preseason games, the seven-time Olympic medalist took to Instagram to talk how difficult long distance can be with her husband.

"long distance isn’t easy, but seeing you play your heart out is so worth it ? I’m so proud of you baby," she captioned the post, which included a photo of Biles kissing Owens on the NFL field.

Fans rallied behind the couple, sharing their support for the Olympian and NFL player. "I’m obsessed w this pic," one fan wrote while another chimed in, "Just the sweetest two ever ❤️❤️".

A third expressed, "i’m obsessed with you guys ?" while one of her fans wrote, "Cutest picture ever ??".

As one follower said, "They are such a blessed amazing couple."

Biles and Owens got married in April. When talking about wedding planning, the four-time Olympic gold medalist admitted, “The planning process [for the larger celebration in Cabo] was so much fun in the beginning and then it started getting really stressful. So I definitely recommend a wedding planner. Carena Trampe of Amy Abbott Events kept me sane the entire time.”

She also talked about picking out her wedding dress. “I was nervous about having a ball gown because I’m so petite—but it works perfect,” she admitted. “The leg slit was very crucial. It was to add, in my head, more length to my body. I think this is exactly how brides are supposed to feel: luxurious, beautiful, kind of on top of the world.”

The four-time Olympic gold medalist returned to gymnastics after taking a mental health break during the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. When asked how she is managing her mental health, Biles admitted, "Lots of therapy, I go once a week for almost 2 hours. "I've had so much trauma, so being able to work on some of the traumas & work on healing is a blessing."

She returned to the sport earlier this month, giving the sold-out August 5 crowd an amazing performance. In the all-around event, Biles posted a score of 59.100, which put her in the lead against her competitors.

"I think the night went really well," Biles said following the event. "Everything has fallen into place. I feel really good about where I am right now, mentally and physically. There are some things to work on in my routines, but for the first meet back, I would say it went pretty well. I'm very shocked and surprised."
