Jonathan Owens was not aware of Simone Biles until he started dating her

Jonathan Owens and Simone Biles dated each other for two years and eventually got married in May 2023. However, initially, when the NFL player began talking to the seven-time Olympic gymnast, he was unaware of her athletic stardom.

In an interview with Insider in 2021, Owens revealed:

"I never really watched gymnastics before I first started talking to her. When I met her, I honestly didn't know who she was."

Furthermore, he shared what really attracted him to Biles in the beginning:

"It was just like, 'Oh, she has a lot of followers — she must be pretty good or something'."

He added:

"That's how I would tell people and they'd be like: 'Simone Biles?! You for real, the gymnast?!' And I'm like 'Man, she's good like that?!'"

Moreover, after the couple began dating they really stood against each other. In fact, when Biles took the shocking decision of taking a break from gymnastics, Owens completely supported her during that period.
