Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles has is engaged to NFL player Jonathan Owens!
The 24-year-old gymnast and 26-year-old safety for the Houston Texans both took to Instagram to celebrate the engagement. Biles posted a bunch of photos confirming the news, Tuesday by captioning it with,
"THE EASIEST YES, I can’t wait to spend forever & ever with you, you’re everything I dreamed of and more! let’s get married FIANCÉ💍"
Jonathan responded swiftly with,
"Ready for forever with you"
Owens proposed to Biles in Houston, Texas under a gazebo where he got down on one knee. He wore a grey suit, black turtleneck shirt and black shoes to go with it. Biles wore a leather skin tight mini-dress and her black shoes with gold heels to complement it. The images caught Owens lifting Biles up to give her a kiss, placing the ring on her finger, and the pair holding drinks of what looks to be champagne as they kiss once more.
Jonathan's Instagram caption wrote,
"Woke up this morning with a fiancée 💍❤️ Appreciate my dawg @don_julio314 for helping me set everything up, she really had no clue what was coming 😂 @zofrost you went crazy on this one bro really made the night special"
The ring has an oval-shaped diamond with tinier diamonds beaming through it. If that wasn't enough, the band that goes around the finger had diamonds blinging all over the place.
Having met in 2020 through social media, their encounter was one to remember. Simone told the Wall Street Journal that she had "slid into his DMs" since she thought he was cute. In an interview with TexasMonthly, Jonathan admitted he "didn't know who she was," which made Biles attracted to him more. Now, the the couple is closer than ever with marriage in sight.
