Simone Biles might have seven Olympic medals, but her latest piece of jewelry is the most important. Biles and Green Bay Packers safety Jonathan Owens announced their marriage on social media. Biles captioned a set of photos of herself and the 27-year-old footballer, saying, \u201cI do. Officially Owens.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the pictures, you can see the couple exchanging vows in what looks like a courthouse wedding. Biles wore a tiered white gown for her special day, while Owens wore a tan suit. Owens shared similar photos on his Instagram page, including more behind-the-scenes images of the couple saying, \u201cI do.\u201d He captioned his post, \u201cMy person forever,\u201d with a ring and heart emoji, adding two hashtags: #TheOwens and #ItsOfficial.<\/p>\n

Biles and Owens had a close encounter during a 2019 Texans game, but they officially met on the dating app Raya in March of 2020, with Biles making the first move. She later made the relationship with Owens official months afterward, posting two pictures with him on her Instagram page. The images showed the couple snuggled beside each other, with Owens kissing Biles. Biles captioned the post, \u201cIt\u2019s just us.\u201d<\/p>\n

The following month, Owens posted two pictures with Biles on Instagram, writing, \u201cNow you rockin with a real one.\u201d After two years of dating, Biles and Owens then\u00a0announced their engagement\u00a0via a series of Instagram photos shared last February.<\/p>\n
