Simone Biles Announces Milestone With Husband Jonathan Owens
All-time great gymnast Simone Biles and Chicago Bears safety Jonathan Owens are one of the sports world's most-prominent power couples.
On Wednesday — just one day after the couple took the red carpet for the 2025 Met Gala — Biles and Owens celebrated their second wedding anniversary.

Biles and Owens began dating in March 2020 and got married at a Houston courthouse in April 2023. They celebrated their marriage with a bigger wedding in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico a few weeks later.
Biles took to social media to announce this milestone with a special post.
"2 year anniversary. ilysfm," Biles wrote as the caption to a pre-Met Gala photo with Owens.
Biles described Tuesday night's Met Gala as a pre-anniversary "date night" for her and Owens.
"Oh my gosh, I am really excited," Biles said in a recent interview. "Obviously no training goes into the Met, so I'm happy about that.
"It's really just getting in fitting, seeing what you're going to wear, and then going from there. ... It will be tailored, it will be a custom dress, I'm going back and forth between two right now. Both custom looks for me, so I'm excited."
"It is date night it'll be the day before our wedding, second wedding anniversary as well," Biles continued. "So it'll be really exciting to celebrate at the Met with him."

Owens is heading into his second season with the Bears after appearing in 17 games and making five starts for the team in 2024. Biles was frequently in attendance for her husband's games last year, and that trend is expected to continue in 2025.

Biles added to her all-time great Olympic resume this past summer, notching four new Olympic medals. The 28-year-old gymnast won gold in the all-around, vault and team events, and silver in the floor exercise.

Simone Biles apologizes for heated exchange with Riley Gaines over trans athlete participation
Two-time Olympic all-around champion Simone Biles has apologized for getting personal in a heated online exchange with former collegiate swimmer turned anti-trans athlete activist Riley Gaines. Biles, an 11-time Olympic medalist and the most decorated gymnast of all-time, initially responded to a post by Gaines on the social media platform X after Gaines called a player on a Minnesota high school softball team 'a boy.' Biles wrote that Gaines was 'truly sick' and a 'straight up sore loser,' comments Biles later retracted. Biles wrote that the current system in sports doesn't adequately address the balance between competitive equity and inclusivity and the discussion of the topic can lead to 'frustration and heated exchanges.' 'It didn't help for me to get personal with Riley,' Biles wrote. Biles clarified that her main objection was that Gaines opted to single out an underage athlete, when that athlete has no control over what Biles called a 'flawed system.' 'I believe sports organizations have a responsibility to come up with rules supporting inclusion while maintaining fair competition,' Biles posted. 'We all want a future for sport that is fair, inclusive, and respectful.'
