Simone Biles recounted the struggles of her married life with NFL player Jonathan Owens, including the long distance relationship forced due to their busy schedules. In an interview with Access Hollywood after the Time100 event, when asked what had been the highlight of their marriage, Biles calmly responded,

“Being together. Because (in) our first year of marriage we were barely together. We were kind of doing long distance so now it's just really spending that time together with one another.”

Biles recalled the highlights of their wedding, as she further added,

"I think it was seeing all of our family and friends in one place supporting us. That was just absolutely incredible. And you can never have too much tequila."

Simone Biles had met Jonathan Owens through a dating app in August 2020. The two sportspersons followed each other for a while, before they started dating. In February 2022, Biles announced her engagement with Owens, and on April 22, 2023, the couple finally tied the knot.
