While we can all list a dozen celebrity-athlete power couples off the tops of our heads—Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, Victoria and David Beckham, and Gabrielle Union and Dwayne Wade, to name a few—how many double athlete power couples do you know? Simone Biles—the world-class Olympian gymnast, who truly needs no introduction, and her husband, NFL safety Jonathan Owens, have been making headlines since they got together in 2020. The two have been lauded as one of the most envied athlete couples in the game, both for their sweet relationship and their athletic abilities alike.
Not only are the pair extraordinarily talented, but they also seem to be a perfect couple. “This was a match made in heaven,” Owens told Texas Monthly in an interview. “There’s no better person for me. She loves me, she’s so affectionate. I just love that. And it’s just intoxicating seeing how much work she puts into everything.”
The couple consistently show up for each other, supporting one another in their athletic endeavors, whether they’re attending NFL games or standing in the crowd at gymnastics events, and through social media posts, seem to be each other’s biggest fans.
Like many young couples these days, Simone Biles and her husband met on Raya, a private dating app known to be a favorite of high-profile figures and celebrities, in 2020. The pair have cited the pandemic as a driving force behind their relationship, saying that the global shutdown allowed them time to get to know each other. Fast forward two years later, the couple got engaged, and in April 2023, the athlete power couple exchanged vows at a gorgeous beachside wedding ceremony in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
