On April 22, Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens shut the internet down after dropping photos from their wedding.
Over the weekend, Biles revealed she was “officially Owens” with a series of fire wedding photos. As we previously reported, the athletes met on Raya just before the start of the COVID-19 lockdown in March 2020 and were engaged by February 2022. Over a year later they said “I do” for the first time. “Wifey got a great ring to it ❤️💍 First day of forever 🤞🏽,” Owens replied to Biles’s post. He also shared his own Instagram post with the caption, “My person, forever ❤️💍. #TheOwens.”

Biles even told fans that the couple’s wedding bands were bought on Amazon because they’re saving their real rings for “the big day.” Biles also revealed she’ll be writing her own vows. “Idk how I’m supposed to get through it,” she wrote. “I was so teary & choked up at the courthouse ceremony & it was just basic vows.”
According to Biles, she purchased her entire courthouse wedding outfit this week—including ther $120 dress, shoes, and her bouquet. “Not quite [as] prepared for [the] courthouse ceremony as I am for the big wedding,” she wrote.
