The excitement was palpable for Olympic gymnastics legend Simone Biles ahead of her wedding to NFL defensive back Jonathan Owens. So much so, she may have gone a little overboard.
Biles and Owens celebrated their marriage in April 2023 at a courthouse and then again with family and friends a month later. As Biles celebrated her wedding anniversary over the weekend, she shared some photos of a party with her family.
One of which was with her mother, Nellie.
“Momma Biles is probably telling me to eat before I black out,” she captioned one of the photos on her Instagram Stories, according to People magazine.
Biles then wrote that advice “would have been good about 3 hrs before this” and admitted that she “did indeed black out.”
The four-time Olympic gold medalist and the NFL player met via the Raya app in March 2020 and then got engaged in February 2022.
Owens admitted in a podcast interview in December he didn’t know who Biles was at first.
“I didn’t know who she was at the time, but the first thing that I saw was that she just had a bunch of followers so in my mind, I’m like, ‘OK, she got to be good,'” Owens admitted to “The Pivot”
“When she won the Olympics, I was in college, and we didn’t have NBC, we didn’t have Olympics channels, and we’re in camp. So I’m not paying attention to – I never would have had a moment to where I would have watched.”
Owens signed with the Chicago Bears in the offseason.
It’s likely Biles will be on the sidelines supporting him once the 2024 Olympics are finished.
