Jonathan Owens, who hasn’t had an easy journey in the NFL, has opened up on how he met Simona Biles.
While the Arizona Cardinals signed him after being an undrafted free agent in 2018, he did not play a single snap. Instead, they placed him on injured reserve for the entire year. From there, he became a 17-game starter for the Houston Texans last season.
The Green Bay Packers signed him this year, and he has started eight of 14 games. He wouldn’t have done it without the support of his wife, gymnastics legend Simone Biles. While they have known each other since 2020, Owens recently recalled how they got to know each other.
On The Pivot podcast with Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor and Channing Crowder, Owens said that he first met Biles on a dating app:
Biles is considered the greatest gymnast of all time. She won gold medals in the team, all-around, vault and floor exercise competitions at the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics. she has one silver and two bronze finishes in the quadrennial sporting event.
The Texas native dominated the Artistic Gymnastics World Championships, winning 23 gold medals in six years. She also took home four silvers and three bronze medals.
Jonathan Owens continued his story:
Jonathan Owens and Simone Biles made their relationship Instagram official in August 2020. They got engaged in February 2022 and married in April this year. Biles has also regularly shared updates of their Texas residence under construction.
