Given her high-profile nature from being a global gymnastics star, anything Simone Biles does is prone to become a trending topic. So it’s no surprise that her love life is constantly under a microscope.

Thankfully for boyfriend Jonathan Owens, he’s a professional NFL player and knows what it means to be in the spotlight.

The two met on a dating app in March of 2020, right before the COVID pandemic began, and they then started dating shortly after, leading to their engagement in February of 2022.

Biles and Owens were seemingly in love from the get-go, but not everyone was super excited about their relationship.

Adria Biles was jealous of Owens spending time with Simone

Simone’s sister, Adria Biles, recently admitted that she wasn’t a fan of Owens dating her sister. Her reasoning had nothing to do with Owens as a person, though.

So when she met Jonathan, I was not happy, I knew he was a good guy and they were great, but I was like, ‘you’re taking my time with her’. And I was so annoyed. To be honest, me and him didn’t get along, I was just like being a brat. Now obviously I love him and he’s like an older brother to me and she loves being married. It was really hard for me.

Adria and Simone have always been close, so it makes sense that the younger sister didn’t want to give up too much alone time with her role model. Although her relationship with Owens may have been rocky at the start, it’s clear that the two have more than ironed out their differences.
